Who Is a Candidate for Ortho-k?

(281) 347-3937

Are You Considering Ortho-k Lenses?

Orthokeratology, often called ortho-k, is a non-surgical vision correction method that has gained popularity in recent years. It involves the use of specially designed gas-permeable contact lenses to temporarily reshape the cornea, thereby providing clear vision throughout the day without the need for eyeglasses or standard contact lenses. This revolutionary approach has shown promise in myopia management and has become preferable for those seeking independence from daytime visual aids.

However, ortho-k might not be suitable for everyone. The effectiveness and safety of this treatment rely on several factors, including your eye health, prescription, and lifestyle.

Ortho-k and Myopia: A Clear Solution for Nearsightedness

Ortho-k is primarily designed to correct nearsightedness, also known as myopia. You could be a potential candidate for this treatment if you have myopia and find seeing objects at a distance challenging. Ortho-k lenses can effectively reduce this condition, giving you clear vision throughout the day.

However, it's important to note that ortho-k is most effective for people with mild to moderate myopia. If a prescription falls within this range, there's a higher likelihood of achieving satisfactory results with ortho-k lenses. These lenses may be less effective for individuals with high levels of myopia or other complex vision problems.

  • Contact Lens Intolerance or Discomfort

    Ortho-k may be a suitable alternative if you've experienced discomfort or intolerance with standard contact lenses. These specially designed lenses are worn overnight while you sleep, so you don't have to worry about daytime discomfort or dryness often associated with traditional contact lenses.

  • Active Lifestyles and Sports Enthusiasts

    Ortho-k is an excellent option for individuals with active lifestyles or athletes. You can enjoy your favorite sports activities with unhindered vision without needing glasses or daytime contact lenses. Athletes and outdoor enthusiasts often find ortho-k lenses particularly convenient.

  • Children and Adolescents

    Ortho-k can be a valuable option for children and adolescents with myopia. Slowing myopia's progression during these formative years can have long-term benefits for eye health. If your child has myopia, speak to your Memorial Eye Center - Cinco Ranch eye doctor about ortho-k as a potential treatment option.

  • Daily Lens Care and Compliance

    Successful ortho-k treatment requires a commitment to daily lens care and compliance with your eye care professional's recommendations. You'll need to clean, store the lenses correctly, and follow the prescribed wearing schedule.

my husband, myself and our daughter have been going to Memorial Eye Center for years now and have re... ferred family and friends because they have exceptional customer service and treat you like family. Dr. Haghighi clearly explains all details with us every time and he makes sure that we have been taken care of afterwards. Mr. Farid( the assistant manager) has always provided us with exceptional customer service and patiently helps us to pick the right frame and provides us with all technical details to choose the right lenses with follow ups if required. We appreciate all of you in Memorial Eye Center.

My son has miopia and my last experience with an optometrist in the Katy area was awful. He was due ... for a new checkup 5 months ago but I have been dreading looking for a new place to go. After a long search, I found Dr. Haghighi online and decided to give him a try. Let me start by saying the service was amazing from start to finish. In the front desk, then the girl who assisted me through the whole process (I don’t know her name, but she’s awesome and deserves the praise), all the way until the lady who assisted me buying whatever I needed. The dr himself was very knowledgeable, made me feel safe in his decisions, was open for questions and just plain friendly. There was no wait either. The location is easy to find, right by La Centerra, with plenty of parking.

I had a medical issue and they were able to see me right away as a new patient. Everyone I encounter... ed was so kind and caring. They all seemed like they genuinely enjoy their jobs, their coworkers and their patients. Not to mention the doctor was able to get me fixed up right away.
