Promoting Ortho-K for a Brighter Future

We’re passionate about offering children innovative solutions like orthokeratology (Ortho-K). Ortho-K involves wearing specially designed contact lenses overnight to temporarily reshape the cornea, providing clear vision throughout the day without needing glasses or daytime contacts.

This non-surgical approach not only corrects refractive errors but can potentially slow down myopia progression in children. Ask about ortho-K during your child’s pediatric eye exam to explore this exciting option.
