Ortho-K for Children

Ortho-K for Children

Ortho-K is a specialist treatment that we provide, which uses custom-made contact lenses to gently correct your vision whilst you sleep.

The temporary result is clear, natural vision without the need for glasses or contact lenses to be worn during the day, making this an increasingly popular option for children.

Overnight vision correction doesn’t just provide your child with the freedom of clear daytime vision – research has additionally shown that Ortho-K lenses can actually slow down the progression of myopia or short-sightedness. Whilst this is by no means a guaranteed result, studies suggest that OVC can help reduce the chance of associated problems in adulthood.

Our Ortho-K services can help reduce the impact of short-sightedness on your child’s lifestyle.

As Ortho-K contact lenses only need to be worn by your child overnight, this means less worry for you as a parent during the day, when lenses and glasses often tend to go missing!

We understand that starting your child on a new eyecare regime can cause anxiety for both of you, which is why we’re as committed about aftercare as we are the initial examination and prescription itself. We’ll ensure your child is comfortable and confident with the insertion and removal techniques, and knows how to keep them clean. Looking after your child’s vision and safety is our ultimate focus.
