At BOHOOPTICS , we believe in innovation and offering personalized solutions for every lifestyle. That's why we want to tell you about orthokeratology , a treatment that is transforming the way people correct their vision without glasses or surgery.
What is orthokeratology?
Orthokeratology, also known as Ortho-K , is a treatment based on special contact lenses worn overnight. When you wake up, you can see clearly without the need for glasses or contact lenses during the day.
These lenses are custom-designed according to the shape of each patient's cornea and act by correcting myopia and, in some cases, astigmatism and hyperopia.
Benefits of Ortho-K
✨ Visual Freedom – Forget about glasses and contact lenses during the day. Ideal for athletes, swimmers, or anyone with an active lifestyle.
🌿 Non-Invasive Method – Unlike laser surgery, orthokeratology is reversible and safe.
👀 Myopia Control – Studies have shown that this treatment can help slow the progression of myopia in children and adolescents.
🔄 Total Comfort – Wearing your lenses only at night prevents dry eyes or discomfort during the day.
How does Orthokeratology work?
1. Initial evaluation: One of our specialized optometrists performs an eye exam and corneal mapping with a corneal topographer.
2. Lens design: Custom lenses are manufactured according to the curvature of the patient's cornea.
3. Night wear: The lenses are worn while you sleep, gently molding the cornea.
4. Temporary visual correction: By removing the lenses in the morning, vision remains clear throughout the day without the need for optical correction.
Is Ortho-K safe?
Yes, as long as you follow your specialist's instructions and maintain proper hygiene. As with any contact lens, there is a risk of infection if they are not properly cared for. Therefore, it is essential to continue regular checkups with your optometrist.
