Orthokeratology (Vision Shaping Treatment) is a procedure using a specially designed FDA approved contact lens that you wear at night. This special design lens gently reshapes the cornea without permanently altering its physiology, thus allowing us to see clearly once the lens is removed. The lenses are worn at night while sleeping only and then allows us to see clearly during our waking hours without the need of contact lenses or glasses.
The treatment results of this procedure should equal the vision provided by traditional glasses or contact lenses. Studies also suggest that the wearing of ortho-k devices helps to slow or even stop the progression of nearsightedness.
The procedure is quick and most people achieve clear vision results within just a few days.
