Orthokeratology (Ortho-K) at Granbury Eye Care
Orthokeratology, commonly referred to as Ortho-K, is an innovative non-surgical option for correcting vision. This advanced treatment allows you to enjoy clear vision during the day without the need for eyeglasses or contact lenses, by wearing specially designed lenses overnight. At Granbury Eye Care, we are committed to providing our patients with cutting-edge solutions like Ortho-K, guided by our experienced practitioners for safe and effective results.
How Does Ortho-K Work?
Ortho-K involves the use of specially crafted gas-permeable contact lenses that you wear overnight. While you sleep, these lenses gently reshape the surface of your cornea, the front part of your eye. This reshaping adjusts how light is focused on the retina at the back of your eye, which can significantly improve vision. By morning, when the lenses are removed, users can experience clear vision that typically lasts throughout the day.
The Benefits of Orthokeratology
Ortho-K is particularly beneficial for:
People who want to be free from glasses or daytime contacts: It provides a fantastic alternative for those who find glasses cumbersome or contact lenses uncomfortable during the day.
Sports enthusiasts and active individuals: Without the need for physical eyewear, engaging in sports and outdoor activities becomes much easier and safer.
Patients with mild to moderate myopia (nearsightedness): Ortho-K is effective in correcting these common vision issues, and ongoing treatment can maintain the corrective effects.
Personalized Treatment Process
Each patient at Granbury Eye Care receives a personalized Ortho-K treatment plan. Our process includes:
Initial Consultation: We assess your suitability for Ortho-K, considering your vision needs and overall eye health.
Custom Lens Fitting: Your Ortho-K lenses are custom-designed based on precise measurements of your eyes to ensure they fit perfectly and work effectively.
Ongoing Support and Monitoring: We provide detailed instructions on how to care for and use your Ortho-K lenses safely. Regular follow-up visits are scheduled to monitor the corneal health and the effectiveness of the treatment, making adjustments as necessary.
Safety and Effectiveness
Safety is a paramount concern with any eye treatment, and Ortho-K is no exception. Our skilled practitioners at Granbury Eye Care ensure that all patients undergo a thorough evaluation to determine their candidacy for Ortho-K. By adhering strictly to the provided guidelines and attending regular follow-ups, patients can achieve optimal results safely.
Orthokeratology offers a promising option for those looking for a non-invasive solution to improve their vision.
