Orthokeratology, often referred to as Ortho-K, is a revolutionary, non-surgical vision correction method that utilizes specially designed rigid gas-permeable contact lenses worn overnight to gently reshape the cornea, providing clear, unaided daytime vision for individuals with myopia or astigmatism. By temporarily altering the eye's curvature while you sleep, these custom-fitted lenses offer a convenient alternative to glasses or traditional contacts, with many patients enjoying crisp vision upon waking that can last throughout the day. Ideal for children and adults seeking freedom from daytime eyewear, Ortho-K not only corrects refractive errors but may also slow myopia progression in young patients, potentially reducing the risk of future complications like retinal issues. At our practice, we're proud to offer personalized Ortho-K assessments to determine if this innovative treatment is right for you—schedule a consultation today to discover sharper vision without the hassle.
Corneal Refractive Therapy (CRT) is a great advancement in refractive therapy options. CRT allows you to see clearly during the day without glasses or contact lenses. Specially designed therapeutic lenses gently reshape the front surface of your eye while you sleep.
Imagine great vision all day without contacts, glasses, or surgery. No more problems from dust, allergies, or dryness. CRT has also been shown to slow the progression of nearsightedness in children and teenagers.
Previously, if you were nearsighted and wanted to see clearly during the day, your options were glasses, contacts, or laser surgery. CRT offers a non-surgical solution. No more worry about broken frames or torn contact lenses. Additionally, while LASIK is usually recommended only for those over 18 years of age, CRT is ideal for our younger patients who are active in sports and do not like the hassle of glasses or contacts.
