Cataract Surgery (Phaco) with IOL removes the cloudy lens from your eye and replaces it with either a

or a

Multifocal Lens which gives both near and distance vision and frees you from using glasses for majority of the daily tasks

Orthokeratology – The Ortho K Lens

Vision Correction without Glasses or Lasik Laser

The perfect alternative to Lasik Laser with no side effects, US FDA approved, fully reversible and at a cost you can afford besides it is the only technology that has an effect on the progression of Myopia

Definition: This is the reduction, modification or elimination of refractive error by the programmed application of contact lenses

Principle of Ortho K Lenses: The Ortho-k lens principle is based upon the fact that myopia is caused by a corneal convexity and through the lens this convexity can be subdued a little bit. It has the same effect as doing a LASIK LASER. However, when the cornea returns to its normal shape, the lens has to be worn again. That period can vary from people to people. However, the average is 2-7 days and it can last longer if worn for a longer period of time.

Side Effects: There are no known side effects until now. Except the discomfort when wearing a normal RGP lens. It is the only lens approved for night time wear by the US FDA.

The cornea re-shaping returns to normal when the lens is removed.

There is an effect in stopping myopia from getting worse. Therefore it is the ideal form of treatment for growing children, people incapable of or unfit or scared of Lasik Laser surgery, sports persons, athletes, pilots, stuntmen and stage artists.

Durability of the Lenses: It may vary according to the way you keep your lens stored. An average usage and handling ensures that the lens lasts at-least 3 years.

Limitations: No limits to the use. However, people with severe dryness in the eye can be applied along with dry eye treatment. The Lens may not be suitable for high myopia going beyond 5.50D - with higher than 2.00D astigmatism.

Advantages over Lasik Laser

The procedure is REVERSIBLE (Excimer is not!).
It does not involve post-operative pain.
It does not leave the hazy vision often experienced by patients following laser surgery.
There is no loss of tissue leading to weaking of the cornea.
