Asian Eye Institute is at the forefront of innovation in eye care. This is why we offer advanced treatment options, like orthokeratology, a non-surgical solution for vision correction. We can help fit and prescribe ortho-k lenses to help you achieve clear vision without needing eyeglasses or contact lenses.
You will first undergo eligibility tests to determine your suitability for ortho-k lenses. The lenses will be designed and custom-fitted for you, and you must wear them overnight as you sleep. You should remove them upon waking up to enjoy the day without your prescription lenses.
Ortho-k lenses in the Philippines offer a safe, non-surgical way to correct vision overnight, providing clear, glasses-free days. It’s especially effective in slowing myopia progression in children, making it an excellent choice for active lifestyles and long-term eye health.
Orthokeratology (ortho-k) contact lenses primarily correct myopia (nearsightedness) by gently reshaping the cornea overnight to provide clear vision during the day without glasses or contacts. They also effectively address astigmatism by smoothing irregular corneal curves and can help with hyperopia (farsightedness) and presbyopia in some cases.
Ortho-k is especially beneficial for children and young adults, as it not only corrects vision but also slows the progression of myopia, reducing the risk of future eye complications. This non-surgical, reversible treatment is ideal for those seeking freedom from daytime lenses, active lifestyles, or those not yet candidates for laser surgery.
Regular follow-ups can ensure optimal results and eye health.
Orthokeratology, often called ortho-k, is a non-surgical treatment that uses specially designed lenses worn overnight to gently reshape the cornea. This process, also known as corneal refractive therapy, temporarily corrects vision, allowing clear sight during the day without glasses or contact lenses.
Ortho-k contact lenses are rigid gas-permeable lenses that reshape the front surface of the eye (cornea) while you sleep. Upon removal in the morning, the cornea maintains its new shape, providing clear vision throughout the day without additional correction.
Orthokeratology is ideal for children and adults with mild to moderate myopia (nearsightedness) and some cases of astigmatism. It benefits those who want to avoid daytime glasses or contact lenses, or for children to help slow the progression of myopia.
Yes, ortho-k lenses are safe and effective when correctly fitted and monitored by an eye care professional. Regular follow-ups help maintain eye health and achieve the best results.
The effects of corneal refractive therapy are temporary. To maintain clear vision, ortho-k contact lenses must be worn nightly or as directed by your doctor.
