Overnight Vision Correction for Kids & Adults in Washington
Imagine waking up, taking out your contact lenses, and seeing perfectly clear vision all day—without needing glasses or daytime contacts. Orthokeratology (ortho-k) makes this possible! At Alderwood Optical and Canyon Park Vision Clinic, we provide custom, concierge-style ortho-k fittings for children and adults, providing a safe, effective alternative to glasses, daytime contacts, and LASIK surgery.
What Is Orthokeratology?
Ortho-k is a non-surgical, FDA-approved vision correction treatment that uses specially designed gas-permeable contact lenses worn overnight to reshape the cornea. This gentle reshaping process temporarily corrects nearsightedness (myopia), allowing patients to experience luxury-level, natural vision freedom throughout the day—without the need for glasses or daytime contacts.
How Does Ortho-K Work?
Step 1: Custom-fitted ortho-k lenses are worn overnight while sleeping.
Step 2: The lenses gently reshape the cornea, adjusting how light enters the eye.
Step 3: In the morning, the lenses are removed, and you enjoy crisp, clear vision all day.
Step 4: Vision correction remains temporary but effective, requiring continued lens wear.
What to Expect?
At Alderwood Optical and Canyon Park Vision Clinic, we deliver an elevated, personalized experience designed for patients who expect the best.
Ideal Candidates for Ortho-K Treatment
Myopia Control for Children
Childhood myopia (nearsightedness) is becoming increasingly common, with 1 in 3 kids developing the condition. If left unmanaged, progressive myopia can lead to an increased risk of severe eye conditions in adulthood, such as retinal detachment, glaucoma, and macular degeneration.
Ortho-k offers a safe, FDA-approved solution to help slow the progression of myopia. This treatment is particularly beneficial for active, high-achieving children whose families value proactive care and long-term eye health.
A Non-Surgical Alternative for Adults
Ortho-k treatment provides a non-surgical, reversible vision correction option for adults seeking freedom from glasses and daytime contact lenses.
It is an ideal solution for busy professionals, athletes, and those who expect a seamless blend of health and lifestyle. It is also an excellent alternative for those not candidates for LASIK, particularly individuals with thin corneas or dry eyes.
