Orthokeratology Lenses in Mississauga, ON
The Benefits of Ortho-K Near You
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.
Myopia Treatment for Children
While myopia patients can undergo LASIK eye surgery to correct their vision, this procedure is irreversible. Ortho-k lenses near you are a non-invasive method with less risk. If you stop wearing contact lenses, your eyes will revert to the original shape. Also, unlike laser eye surgery, Ortho-k is suitable for kids.
Please schedule an appointment at Complete Eye Care in Mississauga to learn more. Your eye doctor can treat you or your child for myopia signs such as eyestrain, blurry vision, and frequent headaches.
