Imagine waking up with perfect vision without surgery! Ortho-K at Smart Eyes Aurora reshapes your cornea overnight, freeing you from glasses and contacts all day. This revolutionary therapy works for nearsightedness and astigmatism—transform how you see the world while you sleep!
What Is Ortho-K?
Orthokeratology involves the use of specially designed rigid gas-permeable contact lenses worn overnight. These lenses gently and temporarily reshape the cornea, the eye's front surface, to correct refractive errors like myopia and mild astigmatism.
Upon waking and removing the lenses, patients experience improved vision throughout the day without the need for glasses or daytime contact lenses.
Benefits of Ortho-K
Daytime Freedom
Enjoy clear vision without the inconvenience of glasses or contact lenses during daily activities, sports, or work.
Myopia Control
Ortho-K has been shown to slow the progression of myopia in children and adolescents, reducing the risk of developing high myopia-related complications later in life.
Non-Surgical and Reversible
Unlike LASIK, Ortho-K is a non-invasive procedure. If discontinued, the cornea gradually returns to its original shape, and vision reverts to its pre-treatment state.
Safe for Various Ages
Suitable for both children and adults, making it an excellent option for families seeking vision correction solutions.
Is Ortho-K Right for You?
Ortho-K is ideal for individuals with mild to moderate myopia (typically up to -6.00 diopters) and mild astigmatism (up to -1.75 diopters).
Children and Teens
To control myopia progression during critical developmental years.
Athletes and Active Individuals
Who prefer not to wear glasses or contact lenses during activities.
Those Unsuitable for LASIK
Due to age, dry eyes, or other contraindications.
