The Medmont + WAVE difference
Our WAVE Platinum Certified approach pairs Medmont corneal topography with custom WAVE lens designs. We focus on designing around each eye’s map, with flexibility beyond preset fitting sets, then refine the fit toward clearer daytime vision.

Vision correction while you sleep
Orthokeratology, usually called Ortho-K, uses specially fitted rigid gas-permeable lenses to temporarily reshape the front surface of the eye. You wear the prescribed lenses overnight and remove them in the morning. The aim is useful daytime vision with less reliance on glasses or daytime contacts.
A custom fit starts with your eyes
Your prescription is only one part of the fitting. Corneal topography maps the shape of the eye; an eye health examination helps determine whether overnight lens wear is appropriate. The fit and daytime vision are checked and refined during follow-up visits.
Two goals for children
For a child, we consider both day-to-day vision and myopia progression. Ortho-K may help slow progression, but it does not cure nearsightedness or guarantee an unchanged prescription. Results vary, and continued monitoring matters.
An ongoing routine, without surgery
The reshaping effect is temporary. Regular prescribed wear is needed to maintain vision correction. Never change your wearing schedule or stop a child’s myopia treatment without discussing a transition plan with the office.
