Ortho-K in Blue Bell, PA

Ortho-k involves temporarily reshaping the cornea through the use of specialized contact lenses, which are designed to be worn while sleeping. Although these lenses are not very common and most people still prefer laser surgery, this reshaping method is gaining more popularity as the procedure continues to be improved.

How does ortho-k work?

Orthokeratology (Ortho-K) is a non-surgical procedure that involves wearing specially designed rigid gas-permeable contact lenses overnight. By wearing Ortho-K lenses while you sleep, the cornea retains its new shape during the day, allowing you to see clearly without the need for glasses or daytime contact lenses. Ortho-K is particularly popular among children and adults who want to avoid traditional vision correction methods and is a safe and effective way to manage myopia progression.
