Ortho-K, vision correction without the need for lenses or glasses during the day.

We are gearing up for the launch Ortho-K, a vision correction therapy for short-sighted people that provides clear, comfortable vision without the need to wear contact lenses during the day.

Ortho-K is ideal for low to medium short-sighted people who:

• Want clear natural vision all day – every day
• Have considered refractive surgery because of the freedom it provides, but are worried about the risks
• Find soft contact lenses do not fulfill the comfort demands their lifestyle places on their eyes
• Are involved in recreational and sports activities where periods without wearing contact lenses is ideal

So how is this possible?

Ortho-K is a specially designed contact lens that gently and subtlety reshapes the cornea, at the front of the eye during overnight wear, a process called orthokeratology. Once the full effect has taken place, the new shape of eye neutralises your natural short-sightedness so you can see clearly during the day without glasses or contact lenses.

With Ortho-K you will benefit from:

• Freedom from contact lenses and glasses during the day
• Very easy adaptation, only overnight lens wear required
• A comfortable, semi-permanent alternative for the correction of short sightedness
• A safe and reversible vision correction therapy without surgery
