Unlock Clear Vision Overnight with Orthokeratology
Orthokeratology, or ortho-k, presents a revolutionary approach for correcting myopia (nearsightedness) and astigmatism, allowing you to enjoy clear vision without daytime glasses or contacts. Astigmatism occurs when the cornea or lens of the eye has an irregular shape, causing blurred or distorted vision.
At Vision Dynamics Optometric Center, we are experts in this innovative method, ensuring you experience the full benefits of visual freedom.
How Do Overnight Contacts Work?
Ortho-k uses overnight contact lenses to correct vision by reshaping the cornea as you sleep. You'll insert gas permeable (GP) lenses at bedtime, which work overnight to mold your cornea gently. By morning, these lenses offer you clear vision, eliminating the need for additional corrective lenses during the day.
With ortho-k, achieving and maintaining sharp visual acuity is straightforward, requiring only that you wear your ortho-k reshaping lenses every night. FDA-approved brands, such as Euclid Emerald, Paragon Vision Sciences' CRT, and Bausch and Lomb's VST, are at the forefront, ensuring safety and efficacy in myopia control and vision correction.
Who Benefits from Ortho-K?
Ortho-k is ideal for individuals seeking an alternative to traditional vision correction methods. It's particularly suitable for:
- Children not eligible for vision correction surgery
- Athletes and those leading active lifestyles
- Professionals in environments unsuitable for regular contacts
- Anyone desiring a break from daytime glasses or contacts
This customizable treatment caters to a wide range of needs, offering a practical solution for those with overnight contacts that correct vision or individuals needing overnight contact lenses for astigmatism.

Is Ortho-K a Cost-Effective Option?
While the initial investment in ortho-k may be higher than regular contacts, the long-term savings on glasses and daytime contacts are significant. Moreover, the value of waking up to clear vision every day is immeasurable.
