Overnight Contact Lens Solutions for Myopia

Looking for a non-surgical way to correct myopia or other vision problems without wearing lenses during the day? Orthokeratology (ortho-K) could be the solution for you.

Wearing these special lenses for a few hours (usually while you sleep) gives you the power to leave your lenses behind and enjoy clear vision during daily activities. Ask our eye doctors how ortho-k lenses can help you today.

How Does Ortho-K Work?

Ortho-k lenses are designed and fitted for each individual patient and are often compared to dental braces or retainers (but for your eyes). Wearing these rigid lenses slowly changes the shape of your cornea to help light focus properly on your retina and correct refractive errors.

When you remove the lenses after sleeping, your vision typically remains clear throughout the day and may even last up to 48 hours in some cases. Ortho-k lenses allow many people to experience clear vision as long as they remember to care for their lenses properly and wear them as directed.

Who Can Use Ortho-K?

Total Vision Tierrasanta provides ortho-k lenses for people of all ages. We use a special tool to measure your cornea in a non-invasive way, then create a blueprint to guide the design of your unique lenses.

Ortho-k lenses are often an excellent way to correct:

Children with myopia are especially strong candidates for ortho-k since they often play sports or participate in activities. Glasses can break, and standard contact lenses can get lost, but since ortho-k lenses do their work overnight, kids are free to leave them at home and play during the day without these worries.
