The Benefits of Orthokeratology (Ortho-K) for Active Lifestyles

If you lead an active lifestyle, whether it's hiking the scenic trails of Caspers Wilderness Park, surfing the waves off Dana Point, or simply enjoying your morning run along the beach, you know how frustrating it can be when glasses or contact lenses get in the way. At Mission Optometric Center, we offer a game-changing solution for those who want visual freedom without surgery: Orthokeratology, commonly known as Ortho-K.
 

What Is Ortho-K?

Orthokeratology is a non-surgical vision correction treatment that uses specially designed gas-permeable contact lenses worn overnight. These lenses gently reshape the cornea while you sleep, so you can wake up with clear vision throughout the day.
 

Visual Freedom Without Lenses or Glasses

Ortho-K eliminates the need to wear corrective lenses during the day. That means no more fogged-up glasses on a morning hike or lost contact lenses in the pool. You can enjoy your favorite sports, outdoor activities, and exercise routines without interruption.
 

Safe and Reversible Alternative to LASIK

Unlike LASIK, Ortho-K doesn’t involve surgery. It’s a completely reversible process, making it a great option for younger patients, those not ready for surgery, or individuals who prefer a non-invasive solution.
 

Great for Young Athletes

Ortho-K is particularly beneficial for kids and teens involved in sports. From soccer to swimming, young athletes can enjoy clearer vision on the field or court - without worrying about breaking glasses or dealing with irritating contacts.
 

Slows the Progression of Myopia

Studies have shown that Ortho-K can help slow down the progression of myopia (nearsightedness), making it a proactive choice for children and teens who are experiencing worsening vision.
