VISION THAT FITS YOUR ROUTINE

Why adults choose Ortho-K.

Freedom during the day

Once adequate correction is achieved, you can spend the day without glasses or contact lenses in your eyes.

A nonsurgical choice

Explore daytime vision correction without laser surgery. The reshaping effect is temporary and maintained with prescribed wear.

A design made for your eyes

Medmont mapping and custom WAVE designs let us refine the fit around your measurements and response.

WORKDAYS & EVERYDAY COMFORT

Less daytime lens wear.
One less thing to manage.

If daytime contacts feel uncomfortable late in the day, Ortho-K may be worth discussing. The lenses come out in the morning, so suitable wearers can go about their day without a contact lens sitting on the eye.

Eye strain can have several causes. Ortho-K is not a treatment for screen-related strain or dry eye, and it does not remove the need for screen breaks, comfortable lighting or an accurate prescription. Tell us about fatigue, blur or dryness so we can assess the cause and whether overnight lenses suit your eyes.

ORTHO-K FOR SPORTS

From the court
to the pool.

Overnight correction can reduce the need to manage glasses or daytime contacts during activity. We assess your vision and routine before you rely on it for your sport.

BASKETBALL

Keep your focus on the game.

For suitable wearers, Ortho-K can mean no prescription glasses slipping as you move and no daytime contact lens to handle during a game. Your correction happens overnight.

Clear vision does not replace eye protection. Wear appropriate protective sports eyewear, and confirm your daytime vision is adequate before playing.

SWIMMING

Leave contact lenses out of the pool.

Because Ortho-K lenses are removed in the morning, suitable wearers may be able to enjoy swimming without prescription contacts in the water.

Never swim or shower in Ortho-K lenses, and keep lenses and their case away from water. Use swimming goggles. If daytime vision is not adequate, ask about prescription swim goggles.

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.

An alternative worth exploring

Ortho-K may suit adults who want less dependence on glasses or daytime contacts without choosing surgery. Custom lenses work overnight, with a temporary effect maintained by prescribed wear.

Your routine matters

Tell us about shift work, travel, sleep consistency, sports and visual demands at work. Good daytime vision depends on the fit and wearing schedule. During adaptation, avoid driving or other demanding activities unless your vision meets the necessary standard.

Not a treatment for every vision problem

An exam is needed to assess prescription, corneal health and other eye conditions. Dry eye does not automatically make someone a candidate, and Ortho-K does not eliminate age-related reading needs for everyone.

Compare commitments, not just procedures

Unlike LASIK, Ortho-K involves ongoing lens care, follow-ups and renewal costs. If you later consider surgery, the surgeon will need to assess your cornea after an appropriate period without Ortho-K lenses.
