OVERVIEW
What is Ortho-K (Orthokeratology) or OK Lens?
Ortho-K or “OK Lens” is a revolutionary non-surgical process that
improves your vision and eliminates the need for glasses or daytime
contact lenses. It works by gently reshaping the front surface of the eye
(cornea) by wearing a specially designed high oxygen rigid gas permeable
(RGP) lens while you sleep. You will have clear, sharp and natural vision
during waking hours.

Instructions will be given on
insertion and removal of the lenses,
as well as proper handling and
cleaning.

Schedule follow-up visits to ensure
the lenses have achieved the
intended tting e ect, also to

reaction to lens wear.

FAQ
Optimal vision can be achieved within one to four weeks. However, it is
very common for some to reach excellent vision in the next day or
two. Duration of the treatment depends on the severity of the initial
prescription. While the cornea is being reshaped during the rst few
days, it may be necessary for some to be tted with a temporary soft
contact until optimal treatment result is achieved.
