A revolutionary  vision correction therapy that provides clear, comfortable vision without the need to wear glasses or contact lenses during the day.

Ortho K uses a specially designed contact lens that reverses the power of the cornea, at the front of the eye during overnight wear. Once the full effect has taken place patients can expect clear vision during the day.

 Ortho K is ideal for low to mid short sighted people who:

Want clear natural vision all day long

Find soft contact lenses uncomfortable to wear on a daily basis

Are involved in sporting activities

Have considered refractive surgery because of the freedom it provides, but are worried about the risk

Ortho K provides our patients with the freedom from contact lenses and glasses all day long. It is a safe and fully reversible vision correction therapy without surgery.

Ortho K is a vision therapy that brings a modern approach to a technique known as orthokeratology. Ortho K lenses are manufactured from special highly oxygen permeable material which, when worn during sleep, reshape the front of the eye eliminating your shortsightedness. This effect stays strong enough for you to function the entire day without glasses or contact lenses.

Ortho K is available to patients with the following degrees of shortsightedness:

A spherical spectacle prescription of -0.75D up to -4.50D

Astigmatism of up to -1.50D

Along with their expertise in all types of contact lens fitting our Ortho K practitioners have undergone an extensive programme of training prior to treating patients with Ortho K.  Our staff will be able to advise you of your suitability for Ortho K treatment.

Research and experience shows that the whole Ortho K treatment is 100% safe and reversible.  If a patient decides to stop Ortho K treatment the eye will return to its original shape and they will be able to see clearly again with glasses or contact lenses. This makes Ortho K an excellent alternative to laser eye surgery
