Ortho-K lenses (short for orthokeratology) lenses are special gas-permeable lenses designed to reshape the cornea. The patient wears the lenses overnight and when they remove them in the morning, they will be able to enjoy clear vision throughout the day without using glasses or daytime contact lenses.
Ortho-K lenses can correct a variety of eye conditions including myopia (upto power -6.00D), astigmatism (upto power-1.50D), and hyperopia ( upto power +2.00).
