How Do Ortho K Contact Lenses Work?

Ortho K contact lenses are customized to meet your specific needs. They are designed to gradually and safely change the shape of the cornea, which is the clear, dome-shaped portion of the eye. The lens offers just enough pressure to change the shape to correct your vision.

A topographer is used to map your entire cornea to design custom lens for you.  The contact lens is worn nightly and its schedule will vary depending upon your prescription to maintain the ortho-k benefits.
