Orthokeratology
Latest Advanced Orthokeratology in Andheri Mumbai
Orthokeratology, often referred to as “ortho-k,” is a procedure that uses specially crafted gas permeable (GP) contact lenses to temporarily reshape the cornea and alleviate myopia (nearsightedness). It’s also known as corneal reshaping, corneal refractive therapy, or vision shaping.
This treatment is particularly effective for children aged 8 to 12 who have progressive myopia, as well as many teens and adults, with optimal results usually seen in those under 40. During the initial one- to two-week treatment phase, your nearsightedness will gradually improve. You might need to use disposable soft lenses during the day while your vision adjusts. After this period, you’ll wear the GP lenses only at night, which allows you to see clearly throughout the day without needing corrective lenses. In some cases, wearing the lenses every other night or a few times a week may be sufficient to maintain the benefits.

Orthokeratology, also known as ortho-k or corneal refractive therapy (CRT), is a non-surgical method that uses contact lenses to reshape the cornea and ehance vision.
How Orthokeratology lenses Works?
Ortho-k lenses are worn overnight to temporarily flatten the center of the cornea, allowing light to focus more accurately on the retina. This results in improved daytime vision without the need for glasses or contact lenses.
What Orthokeratology lenses Can Treat?
Ortho-k primarily addresses nearsightedness (myopia), but it can also correct farsightedness, astigmatism, and presbyopia (blurred near vision).
Safety
The gas-permeable nature of ortho-k lenses ensures that oxygen reaches the cornea, maintaining eye health. They are also considered safe for children.
Reversibility
If you discontinue wearing the lenses, your vision will gradually return to its original state within a few days.
Cost
The cost of ortho-k ranges affordable for per eye, though more complex cases can exceed in amount. The price does not include the cost of replacement lenses, follow-up appointments, or lens solution.
Results of Orthokeratology lenses
Most patients experience improved vision within a few days, with optimal results typically achieved within 1-2 weeks.
