Orthokeratology (Ortho-K): Non-Surgical Vision Correction in Sydney
- Do you want to correct your vision and be free of glasses or contact lenses during all waking hours?
- Do you want a safe, non-invasive alternative to laser eye surgery?
- Do you want to ride your bicycle, swim or surf with absolute freedom?
- Are dry, uncomfortable contact lenses affecting your life?
At Smart Vision Optometry, we offer Orthokeratology (Ortho-K), a revolutionary vision correction method that allows you to enjoy clear vision during all waking hours without the need for glasses or contact lenses. If you seek a safe, non-invasive alternative to laser eye surgery, Ortho-K might be the perfect solution for you.
What is Orthokeratology?
Also known as Ortho-K, Corneal Refractive Therapy (CRT), or Overnight Vision Correction, Orthokeratology uses custom-fitted, oxygen-permeable rigid contact lenses to reshape the cornea while you sleep. This safe and convenient process provides clear vision throughout the day, eliminating the need for daytime vision correction.
Benefits of Ortho-K
- Freedom from Glasses and Daytime Lenses: Ortho-K allows you to engage in activities like cycling, swimming, and surfing without the hindrance of glasses or contact lenses.
- Non-Invasive Alternative to Surgery: Enjoy the benefits of clear vision without the risks associated with laser eye surgery.
- Comfortable and Safe: Ortho-K lenses are designed to be worn overnight, providing a comfortable and effective vision correction solution.
How Ortho-K Works
Ortho-K lenses are worn while you sleep and are removed in the morning. These lenses gently reshape the cornea by applying pressure in the thin layer of tears under the contact lens. Similar to braces for teeth, this reshaping is temporary and requires regular use to maintain the effect. After removing the lenses each morning, you will enjoy clear vision throughout the day.
Who Can Benefit from Ortho-K?
Ortho-K is suitable for most shortsighted (myopic) patients, including those with astigmatism. It is an ideal solution for:
- Sports Enthusiasts: Perfect for athletes, swimmers, and surfers who prefer not to wear glasses or contact lenses during activities.
- Children and Teenagers: Ortho-K is highly effective for myopia control, helping to prevent the progression of shortsightedness in young patients.

Myopia Control with Ortho-K
Ortho-K is also a very effective technique for myopia control. More than a decade ago, several eyecare professionals suggested that Ortho-K lenses could potentially be used to prevent myopia progression. This theory was later proved true by the Children’s Overnight Orthokeratology Investigation (COOKI) pilot study, in 2004, and the Longitudinal Orthokeratology Research in Children (LORIC) study, in 2005, followed by other research that confirmed Ortho-K as a safe and effective treatment to control myopia in children.
