Eye Rx - Landsowne provides orthokeratology (ortho-k). This is a special option that helps you see clearly during the day. It can also help manage myopia in many kids and teens.
Explore Vision Correction Options That Fit Your Routine
Ortho-k is an excellent option for people who want clear vision during the day. It’s also suitable for families who wish to help manage their child's myopia. Our role is to help you understand how each option works so you can choose what makes the most sense for you or your child.
Ortho-K Gives You The Freedom To Move Without Eyewear
For many active teens and adults, ortho-k supports daytime freedom for sports, training, and everyday life. For many children, ortho-k may also help a broader myopia management plan aimed at slowing progression.
How Ortho-K Helps with Myopia
Ortho-k (orthokeratology) uses custom-designed contact lenses worn overnight. While you sleep, the lenses gently change the shape of your eye. This helps you see more clearly during the day, often without glasses or contacts. In the morning, you take out the lenses and go on with your day. Because everyone’s eyes are different, we confirm candidacy through a thorough exam and personalized fitting process.
Is Ortho-K safe?
It’s normal to have questions, especially when the idea involves sleeping in contact lenses. We take safety seriously. Our team focuses on careful fitting, detailed hygiene training, and ongoing monitoring to support comfort and eye health over time.
We will explain how to wear and care for lenses, what to watch for, and when to contact us. If ortho-k isn’t the right option, we will talk through alternatives that better match your needs.
Will Ortho-K Work for My Child or Me?
Ortho-k may be a good fit for:
- Children and teens with progressing myopia who may benefit from a myopia management approach
- Active teens and adults who want daytime vision freedom for sports, fitness, or work
- People who struggle with daytime contacts because of dryness or comfort issues
- Patients who want a non-surgical option and prefer a medically guided plan
The best way to know is through a comprehensive eye exam and consultation. We will review prescription needs, eye health, and daily routines to determine whether ortho-k is a good fit.
Ortho-K and Myopia Management for Kids
Parents often ask, “Will this help if my child’s prescription keeps changing?” Ortho-k can be part of a myopia management plan for many children and teens.
Our goal is to help your child see clearly now. We also focus on long-term eye health. We do this by monitoring their vision and creating a plan just for them.
Questions Families Commonly Ask About Ortho-K
How quickly will ortho-k work? Many patients notice changes early, but timing varies. We set expectations based on your prescription and monitor progress through scheduled follow-ups.
Will I still need glasses sometimes? Some patients may still use glasses in certain situations. We will explain what’s realistic based on your needs.
Is ortho-k only for kids? No, many active teens and adults choose ortho-k for lifestyle reasons. We will confirm candidacy through an exam.
What if ortho-k isn’t right for me? We will discuss other options that better match your prescription, comfort needs, and goals.
If you’re looking for a vision option that fits an active lifestyle, or you’re a parent exploring ways to support a child with progressing myopia, ortho-k may be worth considering. Eye Rx - Landsowne provides medically guided ortho-k care with a calm, supportive approach designed for real life.
