The Science Behind Ortho-K: How It Helps Control Myopia

Tired of wearing glasses or contacts all day? Ortho-K offers a game-changing solution! This non-surgical treatment reshapes your cornea while you sleep, correcting myopia without daytime lenses. At Eye Philosophy, we specialize in expert Ortho-K care to improve vision and slow myopia progression.
How Ortho-K Works
- Customized Lenses:
Ortho-K lenses are tailored to fit your unique eye shape. They gently reshape the cornea overnight, so you wake up with clear vision. - Temporary but Effective:
The results last 24-48 hours. To maintain sharp vision, wear the lenses every night. Skip a night, and your cornea slowly returns to its original shape. - Slows Myopia Progression:
Ortho-K is a top choice for kids and teens. Studies show it can reduce myopia progression by up to 60%, keeping vision stable over time.
