Non-surgical and reversible procedure that uses gas-permeable rigid contact lenses of special geometry and is worn overnight, with the purpose of reshaping the cornea to compensate for refractive errors during the day.

More information about Orthokeratology
It is important to know that this treatment does not eliminate the refractive error; it simply allows the patient to do without glasses or contact lenses during the day. For this reason, it is essential to follow a proper fitting process and the guidelines recommended by your professional.
In some cases, orthokeratology has been shown to prevent or slow the progression of myopia, which is why we consider this type of lens as an option for children or adolescents with myopia.
