Can I really just sleep and see?
Yes, once the effect is complete you simply remove the lenses each morning and can see normally. Also - and this is really clever - you will be able to see clearly with the lenses in when you wake up in the morning (or in the middle of the night). It really is a clear future 24/7!

How quickly will it work?
After the first night most of the necessary correction has been achieved. Normally within a week your sight during the day will be ‘treated’ and you will no longer be reliant on glasses or contact lenses.

Is Ortho K safe?
Yes. Research and experience show that the whole process is 100% reversible. So if you decide to stop wearing Ortho K for whatever reason, the eye will return to its original shape and you will see clearly with your glasses again. This makes Ortho K an excellent alternative to laser eye surgery, which is readily available from the professional you trust with your eye-care.

How is it possible to wear lenses overnight?
Ortho K lenses are made of one of the very highest oxygen permeable materials, Boston XO™*, for maximum comfort and safety during overnight wear. The other unique benefit with Ortho K is that unlike normal lens wear the eye spends its waking hours with natural oxygen levels, uninhibited by contact lenses.

How do I try Ortho K?
Simply book an appointment with your practitioner for a suitability consultation (a fee will be charged for this important assessment). If you are suitable your eyes will be analysed on an eye-mapping instrument and from the data gathered, lenses ordered. Following lens collection and your first overnight wear, your practitioner will regularly monitor your progress until you only need 3-6 monthly assessments.

What will it cost?
The treatment is likely to be similar in price to wearing a pair of quality daily disposable contact lenses every day**. Your lenses will need replacing every 6 months in order to be sure that they are always providing the optimum correction of your vision. Your practice offers a monthly direct debit system of payment, for complete peace of mind.
