Ortho K Contact Lenses Sydenham

Tired of relying on glasses or daily contact lenses? Ortho K, short for orthokeratology, has undergone vast technological advancements in recent years. The result is EyeDream- a pair of contact lenses that work to correct short-sightedness and myopia as you sleep. Worn overnight, these gas-permeable lenses gently reshape the cornea, so you can wake up with corrected sight that lasts until evening. At The Bromley Eye Centre, we’re proud to offer Ortho K contact lenses to patients in Sydenham seeking a little more freedom in their day-to-day lives. Get in touch with The Bromley Eye Centre to discover how overnight vision correction can transform your life.

How Do Ortho K Contact Lenses Work?

Myopia, or short-sightedness, is caused by weak or irregularly shaped corneas (the flexible layers at the front of your eyes that allow light to pass through the retina and create images). Ortho K contact lenses are a form of corneal refractive therapy. Harder and firmer than normal lenses, they work to gently reshape the corneas overnight so that when you wake up, your eyes can refract light correctly.

Who Can Benefit from Ortho K Contact Lenses in Sydenham?

Ortho K contact lenses are an effective solution for all sorts of people suffering from short-sightedness. There are minimal age restrictions- in fact these lenses can actually be very beneficial for children, helping to slow or even halt the progression of myopia.

Regardless of your age, you might like to look into Ortho K contact lenses if you:

Play sports and find glasses or regular contact lenses restrictive
Find that regular contact lenses give you dry or itchy eyes
Don’t like the look of wearing glasses
Are concerned about the potential risks and side effects of laser eye surgery

The results of Ortho K contact lenses are non-invasive and reversible, meaning there is a very low risk of side effects. However, this means that you must be consistent and wear the lenses every night to achieve the best possible outcome.

Is There a Prescription Requirement?

EyeDream is suitable for patients of all ages with mild to moderate short-sightedness (myopia), including:

Spherical prescriptions ranging from -0.75D to -5.00D
Astigmatism up to -2.50D
