Ortho-K & Myopia Control in Toronto
Clear daytime vision without glasses—and slow your child's myopia progression
Orthokeratology (ortho-k) uses custom-designed lenses worn overnight to reshape your cornea while you sleep. Wake up to clear vision without glasses or daytime contacts. For children, ortho-k is also one of the most effective treatments to slow nearsightedness progression.
What is Ortho-K?
Ortho-k (orthokeratology) is a non-surgical vision correction method using specially designed rigid gas-permeable contact lenses. You wear them while sleeping, and they gently reshape your cornea overnight. In the morning, you remove the lenses and enjoy clear vision throughout the day—no glasses or contacts needed.
Beyond vision correction, ortho-k is clinically proven to slow myopia progression in children. Studies including the LORIC trial and ROMIO study demonstrate significant efficacy. By starting early, you can reduce your child's risk of developing high myopia and associated eye health complications later in life.
