Orthokeratology
Clear Vision Without Surgery, Glasses, or Daytime Contacts
Imagine waking up each morning with clear vision–no glasses, no daytime contact lenses, and no surgery. Orthokeratology, commonly known as Ortho-K, makes this possible.
At Spectrum Optical, we offer customized Ortho-K treatment using specially designed lenses that gently reshape the cornea overnight, providing clear vision throughout the day. This safe and non-surgical solution is ideal for both children and adult seeking freedom from traditional vision correction.

What is Orthokeratology?
Orthokeratology uses custom-designed, gas-permeable contact lenses worn while you sleep. These lenses temporarily reshape the front surface of the eye (the cornea), correcting refractive errors so you can enjoy clear vision during the day without the need for glasses or contacts.
The effects are reversible–if lens wear is discontinued, the cornea gradually returns to its original shape.
What Vision Problems Can Ortho-K Correct?
Ortho-K most commonly used to correct:
- Myopia (Nearsightedness)
- Mild to Moderate Astigmatism
- Certain Cases of Farsightedness
In children, Ortho-K is also an effective myopia management solution, helping to slow the progression of nearsightedness and reduce the risk of future eye health complications.
Am I a Good Candidate for Ortho-K?
Only a comprehensive eye examination can determine if Orthokeratology is right for you. However, many individuals are excellent candidates, including:
- Children experiencing progressive myopia
- Adults seeking freedom from glasses or daytime contacts
- Athletes or individuals with active lifestyles
- Patients who are not candidates for or prefer to avoid refractive surgery
- Individuals who experience dryness or discomfort with traditional contact lenses
Our doctors will evaluate your vision, corneal health, and lifestyle to create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your needs.
