ORTHOKERATOLOGY IN SYDNEY
- Do you want to correct your vision and be free of glasses or contact lenses during all waking hours?
- Do you want a safe, non-invasive alternative to laser eye surgery?
- Do you want to ride your bicycle, swim or surf with absolute freedom?
- Are dry, uncomfortable contact lenses affecting your life?
Orthokeratology may be a solution for you. Also referred to as Ortho-K, Corneal Refractive Therapy (CRT) or Overnight Vision Correction, Orthokeratology is a unique technology that utilises custom-fitted, oxygen-permeable rigid contact lenses to improve vision through the reshaping of the cornea while you sleep. This safe, non-invasive and convenient process allows you the freedom to see clearly without daytime vision correction, since the lenses are worn overnight. Ortho-K is suitable for most short-sighted patients, with or without astigmatism, and ideal for sportsmen and women, swimmers, surfers, or those who simply prefer not to wear glasses or contact lenses during the day. Like refractive surgery, Ortho-K gives clear unaided visual acuity; however, it has no surgical risks and is reversible. Browse through this website for more information or call our Sydney Smart Vision Optometry practices to book an Ortho-K consultation.

ABOUT ORTHO-K
Did you know there is a non-surgical alternative to daytime contact lenses and glasses? Ortho-K lenses are worn while you sleep and are removed in the morning. They have a unique design, which generates pressure in the thin layer of tears under the contact lens. It’s like braces for your teeth. The cornea is highly elastic and will return to its original shape if the lenses are not worn on a regular basis. For this reason, Ortho-K lenses are usually worn every night to maintain the re-shaping effect once the desired cornea shape has been achieved. After you remove the lenses in the morning, the result is clear vision the whole day, without the need of glasses or contact lenses. Ortho-K has no permanent ocular change, giving you ultimate control and flexibility of your vision correction without the risks involved in laser eye surgery.
