Ortho-K FAQs

Orthokeratology, or Ortho-K, is a process to reshape the cornea gently. At Today's Vision in Frisco, TX, we specialize in Ortho-K treatment for myopia. Following are the answers to several questions our eye doctor frequently receives regarding orthokeratology.

What is Ortho-K?

Ortho-K is a non-surgical procedure that uses special contacts to shape the cornea and improve vision. The lenses can be worn at night, and eliminate the need to wear contacts or glasses during the day. They are used for myopia control and astigmatism.

Who Can Wear Ortho-K Lenses?

Only a professional optometrist can determine if reshaping the cornea is right for you. A comprehensive eye exam at our office can help you determine whether or not you are a good candidate.

How Long Does it Take to Get Better Vision?

Many patients report improved vision within a few days. Optimal vision is typically achieved within two weeks of initial treatment.

Is Ortho-k a Good Option for Dry Eyes?

Yes. Ortho-k can be a great option if you suffer from dry eyes. It minimizes the loss of tears because you wear them at night and your eyes are closed.

Who Can Benefit From Ortho-K?

Children and adults both benefit from Ortho-K treatment. It's also a great option for athletes who cannot wear glasses while competing.

Are There Risks Involved?

The risk is minimal and comparable to the same risks as contact lenses. The process is safe and non-invasive, which minimizes the risks.
