Sleep Your Way to Better Vision: The Life-Changing Benefits of Ortho-K Lenses

Correcting your vision doesn’t always require surgery or daytime contact lenses. With Ortho-K lenses, you can improve your eyesight while you sleep. These overnight lenses gently reshape the surface of your eye, allowing you to wake up with clear vision that lasts all day. At Klear Sight Eyecare Center, we’re proud to offer this safe, effective, and non-invasive solution for both children and adults looking for greater freedom from glasses and traditional contacts.
 

What Are Ortho-K Lenses?

Ortho-K lenses are specially designed rigid gas-permeable contact lenses that you wear while you sleep. During the night, these lenses gently reshape the curvature of your cornea, the clear front surface of your eye. When you wake up and remove the lenses, light entering your eye is properly focused onto the retina - giving you clearer vision throughout the day without the need for glasses or contacts.
 

A Non-Surgical Alternative to LASIK

For patients who aren’t ready or eligible for LASIK surgery, Ortho-K provides a non-invasive, reversible option. Unlike LASIK, which permanently alters the shape of your cornea with a laser, Ortho-K lenses gently mold your eyes while you sleep, and the effects can be reversed by discontinuing use.
 

Myopia Management in Children

One of the most exciting benefits of Ortho-K is its ability to slow the progression of myopia in children. Studies show that children who wear Ortho-K lenses may experience significantly less worsening of their nearsightedness over time. This not only helps protect their vision but also reduces their risk of developing serious eye conditions later in life, such as retinal detachment, glaucoma, and macular degeneration. We work closely with parents to create customized myopia management plans using Ortho-K lenses to safeguard children’s vision for the future.
 

Freedom from Daytime Glasses and Contacts

Whether you’re playing sports, working in a dusty environment, or just tired of the hassle of glasses and contact lenses, Ortho-K offers the convenience of clear daytime vision without eyewear. It’s especially popular among athletes, swimmers, and individuals with active lifestyles.
 

Is Ortho-K Right for You?

Ortho-K is ideal for:

• Children and teens with progressing myopia

• Adults who want freedom from glasses or daytime contacts

• People with dry eyes who struggle with traditional contact lenses

• Individuals who aren’t candidates for LASIK

Our optometrist will perform a comprehensive eye exam and corneal mapping to determine if Ortho-K is a good fit for your vision and eye health needs.
