OVERVIEW What is Ortho-K (Orthokeratology) or OK Lens?

Ortho-K or “OK Lens” is a revolutionary non-surgical process that improves your vision and eliminates the need for glasses or daytime contact lenses. It works by gently reshaping the front surface of the eye (cornea) by wearing a specially designed high oxygen rigid gas permeable (RGP) lens while you sleep. You will have clear, sharp and natural vision during waking hours.
