Control and Correct Nearsightedness with Ortho-K
Myopia, or nearsightedness, is a common vision condition affecting many children and adults. At First Rate Eye Care, we offer a revolutionary approach to managing myopia through Orthokeratology (Ortho-K). This non-invasive, effective treatment can help slow down the progression of myopia and provide patients with clear vision without the need for daytime eyewear.
What is Orthokeratology (Ortho-K)?
Orthokeratology, more commonly known as Ortho-K, involves using specially designed gas-permeable contact lenses worn overnight. These lenses gently reshape the cornea while you sleep, temporarily correcting myopia and allowing you to enjoy clear vision during the day without glasses or contact lenses. The effects are temporary, so the lenses need to be worn nightly to maintain optimal vision. This treatment is also reversible; your myopia will return to its former shape if you stop wearing the lenses at night.
Benefits of Ortho-K for Myopia Management
- Non-Surgical Solution: Ortho-K offers a non-invasive alternative to refractive surgery, making it an excellent option for children and adults seeking to avoid surgical procedures.
- Slows Myopia Progression: Studies have shown that Ortho-K can effectively slow down myopia progression in children, reducing the risk of developing high myopia and associated complications.
- Daytime Freedom: Enjoy clear vision throughout the day without the need for eyeglasses or contact lenses, ideal for those with active lifestyles or who participate in sports.
- Reversible and Adjustable: The effects of Ortho-K are reversible, and the treatment can be adjusted as needed, ensuring ongoing effectiveness and comfort.
