Providing Orthokeratology on The Central Coast

Corneal Reshaping for Optimal Eye Health

Orthokeratology has been used as a safe, non-invasive option for vision correction for more than 50 years. It is also known as Overnight Vision Correction, Corneal Refractive Therapy (CRT), or Ortho-K.

Orthokeratology involves wearing Ortho-K lenses while you sleep and removing them in the morning. They have a unique design, which generates pressure in the thin layer of tears under the contact lens. It's similar to the process of wearing braces for your teeth. The cornea is highly elastic and will return to its original shape if the lenses are not worn on a regular basis. For this reason, Ortho-K lenses are usually worn every night to maintain the re-shaping effect once the desired cornea shape has been achieved.

After you remove the lenses in the morning, the result is clear vision for the whole day, without the need for glasses or contact lenses. This make Orthokeratology ideal for myopia control and flexibility over. your vision correction without the risks involved in laser eye surgery.

At Central Coast Eyecare, we use the absolute latest innovative technology available in optometry today for the very best results. Our optometrists have extensive experience in Orthokeratology and are members of the Orthokeratology Society of Oceania (OSO), which has been dedicated to promoting research, professional development and networking in the Orthokeratology field since 1984.
