Description

Orthokeratology, more commonly known as Ortho-k, reshapes the cornea gently overnight. This corneal refractive therapy consists of custom-fitted contact lenses that are worn during sleep. Simply place the lenses over your corneas before bed and remove them in the morning. Since Ortho-k alters the cornea shape during the night, many patients enjoy better vision the very next day. To achieve the desired results, Ortho-k must be custom-made for each patient. Dr. Preeti Jani will start the process by taking eye measurements. We need accurate dimensions to create lenses that fit the unique shape of your cornea. A perfect fit is crucial to enable proper airflow. Therefore, the special lenses will stay moist and comfortable to wear.
