Could Overnight Lenses Be the Solution to Your Daytime Vision Problems?

Many people wish for clear, comfortable vision without the daily hassle of corrective eyewear. Today, advances in vision care have made that possible with a non-surgical treatment called orthokeratology, commonly known as Ortho-K. But what exactly are overnight lenses, and could they be the answer to your daytime vision problems?
 

What Are Overnight Lenses?

Overnight lenses, or Ortho-K, are specially designed rigid gas-permeable contact lenses worn while you sleep. These lenses gently reshape the front surface of your eye (the cornea) overnight. When you remove them in the morning, you can enjoy clear vision throughout the day - no glasses or daytime contacts required.
 

How Do Ortho-K Lenses Work?

Ortho-K lenses work by temporarily flattening the cornea, which changes the way light is focused on your retina. This method is primarily used to correct myopia (nearsightedness). The effects are reversible, so if you stop wearing the lenses, your vision will return to its original state.
 

Who Can Benefit from Overnight Lenses?

Overnight lenses are a great option for:
 

•          Children and teens whose vision is still changing

•          Active individuals and athletes who find glasses or contacts inconvenient

•          Adults looking for a non-surgical alternative to LASIK

•          Anyone seeking freedom from daytime eyewear

Additionally, Ortho-K has been shown to slow the progression of myopia in children, making it an excellent option for young patients.

If you’re considering Ortho-K, the process begins with a comprehensive eye exam and corneal mapping at our office. Dr. Wong will carefully evaluate your eyes to determine if you’re a good candidate for Ortho-K. If so, custom lenses will be created specifically for your eyes, and you’ll be guided on proper lens care and handling.
