Can you imagine the joy of waking up in the morning and being able to see without the aid of glasses or daily wear contacts? Imagine participating in your favorite pastime free to play to your full potential without the having to worry about sliding glasses or suddenly uncomfortable contacts. No longer will issues like dry eye or contact lens intolerance limit your success.

Orthokeratology is the NON-SURGICAL, NON-INVASIVE, FULLY REVERSIBLE alternative to refractive eye surgery!

Ortho-K is like a retainer for your eyes! You wear the contacts to bed. While you sleep, they reshape the part of your eye that helps you focus. The result is: no more glasses!

In the most basic of terms, Accelerated Overnight Orthokeratology or, "Ortho-k" is the science of changing the curvature or shape of the cornea to change how light is focused on the retina at the back of one's eye. Think of the cornea as the eye's equivalent of a watch crystal. It is a clear, dome shaped structure that overlies the colored iris. Because the cornea separates the eye from air and the rest of the outside world and because it has a curvature that bends light towards the back of the eye, it is responsible for most of the eye's corrective power and contributes to various conditions such as nearsightedness (myopia), farsightedness (hyperopia), and the blur of astigmatism.
