Vision Correcting
Custom Made Contact Lenses - Vision
correction without the use of surgery.
Orthokeratology
Shaping Lens
Defined - Orthokeratology is the
temporary reduction of myopia achieved by the programmed application
of contact lenses to reshape the cornea.
If
you’re nearsighted, you’ve had to grow dependent upon eyeglasses
or contact lenses for vision correction. At times it can be
inconvenient. You may have even considered laser surgery, but been
turned off by the risks. Now, there’s a non-surgical alternative
that improves your vision while you sleep. It’s called Boston XO
overnight Orthokeratology lens.
Vision
Shaping Therapy (VST) also known as Orthokeratology (ortho-k) uses a
special contact lens to gently reshape your cornea while you sleep.
The reshaping of the cornea allows light entering the eye to focus
on the retina correctly. When you wake up, you have better vision
with your naked eye. You’ll be able to see clearly, without
glasses or contact lenses. It works a lot like a dental retainer
worn at night to help straighten teeth. The lenses work while you
sleep.
After a few weeks after VST you will begin to see clearer without
the use of contacts, eyeglasses or surgery.
Ortho
– k actually isn’t a new practice; in fact some eye care
professionals have been using this method of correction for decades.
Newer evolving technology has only made the process better,
exhibiting more comfort, and longer lasting results.
