Orthokeratology
Send an e-mail enquiry to Southern Optical
Orthokeratology involves the fitting of specially designed contact lenses that are worn when sleeping overnight. These lenses gently reshape the front surface of the eye (cornea). The reshaping changes the contour of the cornea allowing for clear vision the following day after the lenses are removed. Orthokeratology is perfectly suited to anybody with low to moderate myopia who wants clear natural vision all day, every day: - Mild to moderate myopia (-0.75 to –5.00D) - Mild astigmatism up to -1.50D - Active individuals or those with occupational demands not suited to standard RGP or disposable contact lenses - Lose their contacts easily, or suffer from allergies from some contact lenses - Have considered refractive surgery because of the freedom it provides, but are worried about the risks - Have difficulty with dry eyes from air conditioning, computer use or dusty environments - Find soft contact lenses do not fulfil the comfort demands their lifestyle places on their eyes.
