Wake Up Seeing Clearly—No Surgery, No Daytime Glasses
Want freedom from glasses and contacts but don't qualify for LASIK? Worried about surgical risks? Ortho-k (orthokeratology) offers a safer, reversible alternative that works while you sleep.
How It Works
You wear specially designed gas-permeable contact lenses overnight. They gently reshape your cornea, correcting nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. Remove them in the morning and enjoy clear 20/20 vision all day—no glasses, no daytime contacts.
Why Ortho-K is a Popular Alternative to LASIK
LASIK permanently removes corneal tissue and comes with risks: severe dry eye, blurred vision, over/undercorrection, and infections. Ortho-k lenses have been FDA-approved since 1994 for daily wear and since 2002 for overnight use.
Plus, it's completely reversible. Stop wearing the lenses, and your eyes return to normal. With LASIK, there's no going back.
Ortho-k works for people who can't have laser surgery—those with thin corneas, dry eyes, unstable vision, or high prescriptions. It's also perfect if you're active, work outdoors, or simply hate dealing with contacts during the day.
Is It Right for You?
While ortho-k costs more than regular contacts, it's significantly cheaper than LASIK—with none of the surgical risks or potential follow-up procedures.
Athletes love it (no glasses to break, no irritating contacts). Busy moms appreciate waking up ready to go. And anyone nervous about eye surgery can breathe easier knowing this option exists.
