The Eye Practice in Sydney is allowing its clients to change all that with a new approach to vision correction that allows reversible correction of vision for those with short sightedness, and delays the further degeneration of eyesight. It’s called orthokeratology, and it uses the contact lenses you may be familiar with in a completely different way to better facilitate your vision and your lifestyle.

The difference with orthokeratology or ortho-K for short, is that it provides freedom from wearing contact lenses or eye glasses during the day, by temporarily correcting your vision at night. The way it works is that the person with short sightedness wears special contact lenses overnight whilst sleeping, and these contact lenses work to gently shape the lens to correct the vision. The effect lasts after the lenses are removed for 1-2 days, meaning you can enjoy perfect vision without glasses or contact lenses. Unlike surgery or Lasix, the effect is only temporary, meaning that there is no permanent changes to your vision. However, if you decide to undergo surgery further down the track, that’s no problem after you stop using the ortho-K lenses.

Orthokeratology contact lenses are perfect for those who may be in the early stages of nearsightedness and which to stop the progression of their condition, or for those who want freedom from wearing contact lenses and glasses in the daytime without having to undergo eye surgery. Orthokeratology is perfect for active people whose lifestyles don’t easily allow for wearing glasses or lenses, and is especially great for those who love sport. Orthokeratology is also well suited for teenagers who are increasingly becoming shorter sighted due to computer use and indoor activities, but who benefit from the flexibility of orthokeratology and the fact that it’s delays or stops the progression of myopia (short sightedness).
