Night Lenses

Night lenses, also known as Ortho-K or Orthokeratology lenses are specially designed contact lenses worn overnight to correct short sightedness (myopia).
They gently and harmlessly reshape the cornea while you sleep, allowing you to see clearly during the day without glasses or daytime contact lenses. This process is reversible, and the reshaping effect lasts for about 24 hours.

How they work:

Night lenses are custom-made, rigid gas-permeable lenses that are worn while you sleep. They gently press on the cornea, which is the outer layer of the eye, and temporarily reshape it.

Night Lenses – Benefits:

Vision correction: They can correct myopia (short-sightedness) and astigmatism. No need for daytime glasses or contacts: After wearing the lenses overnight, you can see clearly without needing to wear glasses or daytime contact lenses. Myopia management: Some studies have shown that night lenses can help slow down the progression of myopia, especially in children. Convenience: They are a non-surgical alternative to laser eye surgery and can be particularly useful for active individuals who want to participate in sports or other activities without the constraints of glasses or daytime lenses. Freedom from glasses and daytime lenses: This can be particularly appealing for children and teenagers who may be more prone to bullying or social stigma related to wearing glasses or contact lenses. Dry Eye: a great solution for those who are unable to wear day time contact lenses due to dry eyes. LASIK/ LASEK alternative: A safe alternative to laser vision correction. Affordable.
