Ortho-k for adults

How does Ortho-k work for adults?

Ortho-k lenses are custom-designed overnight contact lenses that gently reshape the front surface of the eye while you sleep. This temporary reshaping helps light focus more clearly on the retina, allowing many adults to see clearly throughout the day without glasses or daytime contacts.

Because the lenses are worn only at night, Ortho-k can be a convenient option for adults who experience dryness with daytime contacts or want a non-surgical vision correction solution. At Contact Lens Institute of Kansas, each lens is precisely customized using advanced corneal mapping technology for a comfortable fit and personalized results.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can adults wear Ortho-k lenses every night?

Yes. Ortho-k lenses are designed for overnight wear and are worn while you sleep. Most adults wear the lenses nightly to maintain clear daytime vision, though some patients may wear them less frequently depending on their prescription and treatment plan.

Can Ortho-k help adults with dry eyes?

Many adults who experience dryness with daytime contact lenses find Ortho-k more comfortable because the lenses are worn only during sleep. This allows your eyes to remain free from daytime lens wear while still providing clear vision throughout the day.

Am I too old for Ortho-k?

No. Many adults are great candidates for Ortho-k lenses, especially those with nearsightedness or mild astigmatism. Adults often choose Orthokeratology as a non-surgical alternative to LASIK or because they want freedom from glasses and daytime contacts.
