Ortho K (short for orthokeratology) contact lenses are available to those in Croydon who wish for a simple alternative to glasses or regular contact lenses. A gas-permeable, specialised form of lens, they are worn at night and temporarily reshape the cornea as you sleep. Upon removal in the morning, the slight change in corneal curvature will allow you to enjoy clear, corrected vision for the rest of the day.
Those in need of corrected vision in Croydon can derive many benefits from the use of Ortho K contact lenses. These benefits include:
Avoidance of Laser Eye Surgery: If you’ve been considering laser eye surgery but are concerned about the associated risks, then Ortho K contact lenses are an ideal alternative.
Reversible Results: The results of Ortho K contact lenses are temporary, and last until the end of the day. Unlike surgery, the results are therefore reversible, and you can revert back to regular contact lenses or glasses whenever you like.
Myopia Correction: The use of Ortho K contact lenses corrects myopia and even slows its progression in children and young people.
Quick Results: The corrective results of Ortho K contact lenses are immediate from the moment they are removed in the morning, allowing you to get on with your daily life.
Daily Freedom: If you struggle with the hassle of glasses or contact lenses, or you take part in sports or activities that make their use impractical, Ortho K lenses may be the perfect solution.
Ortho K contact lenses are comfortable and safe to wear for people of any age with mild to moderate myopia.
Ortho K contact lenses are effective for those with a spherical spectacle prescription from -0.75D to -5.00D. They are also available to patients with astigmatism of up to -2.50D.
