Ortho-K Overnight Contact Lenses
Ortho-K is a vision correction therapy that provides clear, comfortable vision without the need to wear contact lenses or glasses during the day. These specially-designed contact lenses reverse the power of the cornea, at the front of the eye during overnight wear. Once the full effect has taken place, the eye is effectively ‘normal’ and can see clearly during the day.
