Orthokeratology is the NON-SURGICAL, NON-INVASIVE, FULLY REVERSIBLE alternative to refractive eye surgery!

In the most basic of terms, Accelerated Overnight Orthokeratology or, "Ortho-k" is the science of changing the curvature or shape of the cornea to change how light is focused on the retina at the back of one's eye. Think of the cornea as the eye's equivalent of a watch crystal. It is a clear, dome shaped structure that overlies the colored iris. Because the cornea separates the eye from air and the rest of the outside world and because it has a curvature that bends light towards the back of the eye, it is responsible for most of the eye's corrective power and contributes to various conditions such as nearsightedness (myopia), farsightedness (hyperopia), and the blur of astigmatism.

Ortho-K is like a retainer for your eyes! You wear the contacts to bed, and while you sleep, they reshape the part of your eye that helps you focus. So the outcome is: you not having to wear glasses or contact lenses during the day!
