What is Orthokeratology

This is a modern method of correcting refractive errors namely myopia and astigmatism. This method allows you to temporarily correct vision using special contact lenses (OK-Lenses) during sleeping. Thus, the patient wears the lenses only while he is sleeping, and during the day he gets the opportunity to clearly see without the use of glasses and day lenses.

Surgery is not required to see clearly

Only OK-Lenses at night that will correct your child’s and your own eyesight for the coming day

Visual impairment in children

It is very difficult for a child with myopia or farsightedness to do everyday tasks without the use of glasses or contact lenses. Glasses prevent you from fully enjoying life: they fall off, pull, and with active exercises they can be broken and one can get injured. Also children may not keep the rules for wearing contact lenses which can lead to sad consequences

Lenses are worn only
at night
Enviable vision is provided for
24 hours
There is no corneal hypoxia and tear exchange is not disturbed

You are exempted from glasses and contact lenses in the afternoon

Benefits of OK-Lenses

Complete freedom from glasses and lenses throughout the day
Orthokeratology is the only method that allows you to clearly see without using glasses, contact lenses and without refractive surgery.
Reversibility of effect if therapy is canceled
The effect of the lenses appears only when they are used. If you cancel the use of OK-Lenses, the cornea of the eye will return to its previous state which was before the start of therapy, and it will allow for laser vision correction later.
Slowing down the development of myopia
OK-therapy allows you to slow down the development of myopia in children and adolescents.
Using OK-therapy is completely safe
OK therapy is completely safe if you strictly follow all the advice of a specialist. It is necessary to strictly observe the rules for the use and care of lenses.

Over 6 years-old with a shortsightedness from 0.5 to 7 dioptries or with a astigmatism to 2 dioptries

Indications for OK-therapy

Outside the upper bounds of any ametropias, there is the possibility of an incomplete correction with extra correction

Age over 6 years
There are no clear upper bounds related to a person’s age for OK-Therapy, because everything depends on the patient himself and the presence of contraindications. The lower boundary is determined from the social adaptation of the child and his relationships with parents.
Myopia progression
OK-therapy is very likely to slow the development of myopia in children and adolescents
Myopia within 0.50 - 7.00 diopters, astigmatism up to 2.00 diopters
For correction, myopia (shortsightedness) should be in the range from 0.50 to 7.00 diopters according to the sphere-equivalent. In our clinic, there have been cases that individually ordered lenses for -8 diopters. The lower boundary is determined by uncorrected visual acuity and if it does not suit the patient even with a slight ametropia, there is a sense of vision correction.
Hypermetropia in the range of 0.50 - 4.00 diopters, astigmatism up to 1.75 diopters
For correction with hypermetropic lenses, hyperopia (farsightedness) should be in the range from 0.50 to 4.00 diopters according to the sphere-equivalent

Time to stop feeling discomfort from wearing glasses and day contact lenses

How to wear lenses before bedtime

Wash your hands with soap (soap should not contain aromatic additives and dyes, for example, babysoap) and rinse them well to wash off the remnants of soap
Wipe your hands with a non-lint towel, or do not wipe your hands at all. You can use paper towels or napkins.
Open the lid of the container where the lens for the right eye is located. Always start with the right eye. This will allow you to never confuse lenses. Gently pull out the lens with your fingers. Please note that it is strictly forbidden to get the lens with your nails.
Rinse the lens with a small amount of fresh storage solution. Never ever use water.
Place the right lens on the tip of your right index finger
With the middle finger of the same (right) hand, pull the lower eyelid down, and with the left hand, pull the upper eyelid so that the iris is fully visible. Hold both eyelids well. Look directly in front of you in the mirror and slowly bring the OK lens to the center of the cornea. Control your movements in the mirror with your second eye. Do not press the lens against the eye. The wet lens itself will be attracted to the cornea.
Slowly release your eyelids and look down for a few seconds.
Open the lid of the next container for the left eye and repeat your actions.
Thoroughly rinse the container and lids under a stream of warm water corresponding to drinking State Standard.
Loosely cover the container with lids or leave it open on the table in the room so that it does not gather dust, but dries overnight (do not leave the container in the bathroom).

If you do not manage to put on the lens, contact a specialist of our center

How to correctly remove lenses after sleep

Wash your hands with soap (soap should not contain aromatic additives and dyes, for example, babysoap) and rinse them well to wash off the remnants of soap
Wipe your hands with a non-lint towel, or do not wipe your hands at all. You can use paper towels or napkins.
Fill container cups with fresh storage solution so that the entire fluid covers the entire lens
Place a clean, lint-free cloth on the table so that the lens falls on it when you are doing the manipulation
Tilt your head until your face is parallel to the table. Open your eyes as wide as possible.
Place the right forefinger and middle finger in the outer corner of the right eye. Looking down, pull the eyelids with the right index and middle fingers outward and slightly up (you can simultaneously press the lower eyelid from the bottom with the middle finger of your left hand) and blink. The lens should fall out.
Gently and carefully rub each side of the lens for 20 seconds between the pads of the thumb, index and middle fingers. You can also put the lens on your palm and gently rub each side of the lens for 20 seconds with a small pad of your index or middle finger.
Rinse the lens thoroughly with running warm (but not hot) water that matches drinking State Standard. If water does not comply with State Standard, rinse the lens thoroughly with a solution for storing lenses.
Place the lens in the cup of the container and repeat all operations with the left lens.

If you don’t manage to remove the lens, contact a specialist at our center
