Ortho-K: Taking Control of Your Child's Myopia

Ortho-K is particularly effective in reducing or even eliminating myopia (nearsightedness). By reshaping the cornea to correctly focus light on the retina, it can provide clear distance vision without needing daytime eyeglasses or contact lenses.

Your Vision Matters

Don't Let Heavy Glasses Hold Your Child Back from Sports and Fun

Are you a parent who wants your child to have an active lifestyle? Do your kids love playing sports like basketball, soccer, volleyball, or running, but find it challenging due to the burden of wearing heavy glasses? I get it; as parents, we want the best for our children. While Ortho-K can’t completely eliminate their myopia, it can make a significant difference in their daily lives.

With Ortho-K, your child can enjoy a normal daytime routine, just like their friends. Yes, there are more permanent solutions like LASIK and other myopia surgeries, but these are typically not recommended for children and teenagers under 18. So, if you’re looking for a safe and effective way to enhance your child’s active life, Ortho-K is the way to go.

Uses of Ortho-K

Ortho-K is a versatile vision correction option that can address various visual issues, including:

Control Myopia (Nearsightedness)

Ortho-K is particularly effective in reducing or even eliminating myopia (nearsightedness). By reshaping the cornea to focus light properly on the retina, it can provide clear distance vision without the need for daytime eyeglasses or contact lenses.

Correct Astigmatism

Individuals with astigmatism can also benefit from Ortho-K. The lenses can correct the irregular shape of the cornea, improving both distance and near vision.

Reduced Dependence on Eyeglasses or Contact Lenses

One of the primary advantages of Ortho-K is its potential to reduce your dependence on traditional eyeglasses or daytime contact lenses. This can be especially appealing for those who are active or have difficulty wearing glasses or regular contacts.
