Introducing Ortho K -
a vision correction therapy that provides clear, comfortable
vision without the need to wear contact lenses during the
day. No more restrictions on how long you wear your lenses,
no more irritation in dry, smoky environments or at the end
of a long day.
Ortho K is ideal for low-mid short
sighted people who:
Want clear natural vision all day - every day
Find soft contact lenses do not fulfil the comfort demands
their life-style places on their eyes
Are involved in recreational and sports activities where
periods without wearing contact lenses is ideal
Have considered refractive surgery
because of the freedom it provides, but are worried about
the risks
So how is this possible? Very simply,
Ortho K is a specially designed contact lens that reverses
the power of the cornea, at the front of the eye during overnight
wear. Once the full effect has taken place, the eye is effectively
‘normal’ and can see clearly during the day.
With Ortho K you will benefit from:
Freedom from contact lenses
and glasses during the day
Very easy adaptation, only overnight
lens wear required
A comfortable, semi-permanent
alternative for the correction of short sightedness
A safe and reversible vision
correction therapy without surgery
Ortho K utilises the
tried and tested DreamLite lens design that has been available
in Europe since 2002 and currently boasts thousands of happy
patients. Ortho K is available to patients with the following
degrees of short sightedness:
A spherical spectacle prescription of -0.75D
up to -4.50D
Astigmatism of up to -1.50D
As well as being an expert in all
types of contact lens fitting, Stephen Wilcox has attended an
extensive programme of training prior to treating patients with
Ortho K in order to be better familiarised with our technique
and lens design. We will be able to advise you as to your suitability
for Ortho K.
