Orthokeratology (Ortho-K)
Orthokeratology, also known as Ortho-K, is a non-surgical vision correction option using specially designed contact lenses worn overnight. At Central Coast Eyecare, we provide personalised Ortho-K fitting and monitoring for suitable patients seeking clear daytime vision without glasses or contact lenses.
Ortho-K lenses gently reshape the front surface of the eye while you sleep, allowing many patients to see clearly throughout the day without needing to wear correction. When properly fitted and monitored, Ortho-K is a safe and well-established treatment. It is also widely used as part of myopia management for children, helping slow the progression of short-sightedness in appropriate cases.
A detailed assessment is essential before starting Ortho-K. Our optometrists use corneal mapping and other measurements to determine suitability and design lenses that fit accurately and safely. With additional training in orthokeratology, our team provides a high level of expertise in fitting and ongoing care.
We guide patients carefully through the fitting process, adaptation period and review schedule, ensuring you understand how Ortho-K works, what to expect and how to care for your lenses.
Central Coast Eyecare supports patients from Gosford, Erina, Killarney Vale and Budgewoi with modern Ortho-K care delivered by an experienced local team.
