What Is Ortho-K? A Non-Invasive Solution to Clear Vision

If you or your child struggles with blurry distance vision, you may think glasses or daytime contact lenses are the only options. But what if you could enjoy clear sight all day without needing to put anything on your eyes? Our eye doctor, AR, Dr. Trent Daiber offers personalized Orthokeratology (Ortho-K) fittings designed to help you or your child enjoy life with clear, comfortable vision.

Understanding Ortho-K

Orthokeratology, commonly known as Ortho-K, uses specially designed rigid gas permeable (RGP) contact lenses that you wear only at night while you sleep. These lenses gently reshape the front surface of your eye (the cornea), temporarily correcting nearsightedness (myopia). When you wake up and remove the lenses, you can see clearly throughout the day—no glasses and no daytime contacts needed.

Who Can Benefit from Ortho-K?

Ortho-K is an excellent option for:

•           Children with progressive myopia

•           Adults who want freedom from glasses or contacts during the day

•           Athletes or individuals with active lifestyles

•           Patients unable to tolerate soft contact lenses

•           People who aren’t ready for or interested in laser eye surgery

As part of our advanced myopia management in Pea Ridge, Dr. Trent Daiber can recommend Ortho-K to help slow the progression of nearsightedness in children, protecting their long-term eye health.

How Ortho-K Works

•           Initial Consultation: Dr. Daiber examines your eyes and maps the shape of your cornea using advanced technology.

•           Customized Lens Design: Your Ortho-K lenses are tailored to suit your unique prescription and eye structure.

•           Overnight Wear: You wear the lenses while you sleep. The cornea gently reshapes, improving vision.

•           Daily Clarity: Remove the lenses in the morning and enjoy clear vision all day long.

Most patients begin noticing clearer sight within the first few nights, with optimal results developing after about one to two weeks of consistent use.
