Ortho-K Treatment
Ortho-K involves specially designed lenses that are worn at night while your child sleeps.
During the night, these lenses actually reshape your cornea and your child wakes up to clear vision which lasts throughout the day without having to use glasses or contacts.
Ortho-K is for Kids as Young as 7!
Your child simply wears the specially fitted lenses while he or she sleep. These lenses reshape the cornea during the night, and in the morning your child will see with corrected vision without the aid of glasses or contacts. Schedule an appointment with your eye doctor to see if we can help!
