Orthokeratology (Ortho K)

Options is Proud to Offer Ortho K at our Joondalup and Canning Vale (Livingston) Locations

What is Orthokeratology?

Orthokeratology (ortho-k) uses specially designed contact lenses worn at night to gently reshape the cornea of your eyes to improve your vision. This temporary reshaping corrects myopia (short-sightedness), allowing you to see clearly during the day without glasses or daytime contacts. Orthokeratology is completely reversible.

Who is suitable for Ortho K?

Orthokeratology is most suitable for:

  • Those having mild to moderate myopia (-0.75 to –5.00D)
  • Active individuals or those with occupational demands are not suited to standard daytime contact lenses.
  • Those who have considered refractive surgery but are worried about the risks
  • Those who have difficulty with dry eyes from air conditioning, computer use or dusty environments
  • People who find soft contact lenses are not comfortable or suitable for the demands their lifestyle places on their eyes
  • Children are also exceptionally good candidates

What advantages does Ortho K have over Contact Lenses and Glasses?

  • Eliminate the worry of lost or broken spectacles
  • Allow complete freedom when playing sports
  • May help stop or slow the progression of myopia

The complete orthokeratology treatment costs around $1500. Your initial eye exam is, however, bulk billed and will include a discussion about your suitability. Some health funds do contribute towards Ortho-K. Please ask one of our staff in-store to confirm whether you are covered.
