Night Lenses (Ortho-K)

Our caring optometrists are here to support you through the journey of managing myopia with Night Lenses. This non-surgical treatment offers a comfortable, effective solution to help improve your child’s vision and reduce the progression of myopia.

How Night Lenses (Ortho-K) Work

Night Lenses, also known as Orthokeratology (Ortho-K), are specially designed contact lenses worn overnight. While your child sleeps, these gentle lenses reshape the cornea, giving them clear vision the next day without needing glasses or daytime contact lenses.

Night Lenses are a great option for children as young as 7 years old. The process is simple: your child wears the custom-designed lenses while they sleep and wakes up to clear vision that lasts all day. They can take the lenses out in the morning, and there’s no need for glasses or contact lenses during the day.

Benefits of Night Lenses (Ortho-K)

  • Clear Vision All Day: Enjoy sharp, clear vision without the need for spectacles or daytime contact lenses.
  • Perfect for Active Kids: With no glasses to worry about, your child can run, swim, play sports, and enjoy any activity without restrictions.

  • Non-Invasive & Reversible: Unlike laser surgery, Night Lenses are safe, non-invasive, and can be stopped at any time.
  • Slows Myopia Progression: Ortho-K helps manage and slow down the progression of myopia, reducing the risk of future vision problems.

Our Optometrist’s Role in Your Child’s Night Lenses Journey

At Eyecare Kids, we are dedicated to providing expert care and guiding you every step of the way. Here’s how we’ll support your child’s journey with Night Lenses:

1. Comprehensive Eye Examination

The journey begins with a thorough eye exam to assess your child’s vision and overall eye health. Our optometrists will measure the cornea, evaluate the degree of myopia, and determine if Night Lenses are the right treatment.

2. Lens Fitting & Education

Once we confirm Night Lenses are a suitable option, we’ll custom-fit the lenses and provide you and your child with clear instructions on how to insert, remove, and care for them. Our goal is to ensure both you and your child feel confident and comfortable with the process.

3. Ongoing Monitoring & Adjustments

We’ll schedule regular check-ins to monitor your child’s progress. These visits are important to ensure the lenses are fitting properly, your child’s vision is improving, and any adjustments to the prescription are made as needed.

4. Aftercare & Continued Support

We’re here for you every step of the way. We provide ongoing care to ensure the lenses are working as they should and to address any concerns that may arise along the way.
