Understanding How You Can Use Contacts at Night to Correct Vision
Orthokeratology, or ortho-k, is a non-surgical way to correct vision. It involves wearing special contact lenses at night. This method is popular because it offers clear vision without glasses or daytime lenses.
The Science Behind Orthokeratology
Ortho-k lenses gently reshape the cornea while you sleep. First, you get a consultation and corneal topography. Then, the lenses are custom-fit for you. They are worn overnight and removed in the morning for clear vision all day.
The process reshapes the cornea, the eye’s outer layer. This reshaping improves vision. So, you can see clearly without daytime lenses.
Who Is a Candidate for Overnight Vision Correction?
Not everyone can use ortho-k. The severity of your vision problem and eye health matter. People with mild to moderate myopia and astigmatism might be good candidates.
Getting a thorough eye exam and talking to an eye doctor is key. They will decide if ortho-k is right for you.
| Condition | Suitability for Ortho-k |
| Mild Myopia | Highly Suitable |
| Moderate Myopia | Suitable |
| Severe Myopia | Less Suitable |
| Mild Astigmatism | Highly Suitable |
| Moderate Astigmatism | Suitable |
