Dr. Jain's Eye Clinic

Service Description

Ortho-K (short for orthokeratology) lenses are a special type of rigid gas-permeable contact lens designed to temporarily reshape the cornea while you sleep. By gently flattening the cornea overnight, they correct refractive errors like myopia (nearsightedness), mild astigmatism, and sometimes hyperopia (farsightedness). When you remove the lenses in the morning, you can see clearly throughout the day without needing glasses or daytime contacts. Here are some key points about Ortho-K lenses: ✨ Benefits: Clear vision during the day without glasses or contacts. Non-surgical alternative to LASIK. Can slow down the progression of myopia in children. Reversible — if you stop wearing them, your cornea gradually returns to its original shape. ⚠️ Considerations: Must be worn consistently at night to maintain clear vision. Requires proper cleaning and care to avoid eye infections. Not suitable for everyone (depends on prescription and corneal shape). Initial adjustment period may involve some discomfort. 👁️ Who might benefit most: Children and teens with progressing myopia. Adults who want freedom from glasses or daytime contacts but aren’t ready for surgery. Athletes or people with active lifestyles.
