Orthokeratology (Ortho-K)
Imagine helping your child wake up to clear vision every day without the need for glasses or contact lenses. With orthokeratology (Ortho-K), this is possible. Ortho-K uses specially designed gas-permeable contact lenses worn overnight to gently reshape the cornea, correcting nearsightedness and providing clear vision throughout the day.
At Eyemotivate Eye Care & Eyewear Gallery, we specialize in Ortho-K as an evidence-based solution for myopia control in children. This innovative, non-surgical treatment has been proven to slow the progression of myopia, protecting your child’s vision and reducing their risk of serious eye health complications in the future. Dr. Rodriguez, a member of The American Academy of Orthokeratology and Myopia Control, is dedicated to helping children achieve clear vision and better long-term eye health.
How Does Ortho-K Work?
Ortho-K lenses are custom-fitted to your child’s eyes and gently reshape the cornea while they sleep. By morning, the cornea retains its corrected shape, allowing light to focus properly on the retina and giving them clear, unaided vision throughout the day.
Ortho-K is particularly effective for:
- Progressive Myopia: Slowing the worsening of nearsightedness in children to reduce their long-term risk of conditions like glaucoma, retinal detachment, and macular degeneration.
- Active Lifestyles: Helping children who play sports or engage in activities where glasses or daytime contact lenses may be inconvenient.

What to Expect During Your Child’s Ortho-K Journey
At Eyemotivate Eye Care & Eyewear Gallery, we begin your child’s Ortho-K journey with a thorough eye exam to ensure they’re a good candidate for the treatment. We use advanced corneal topography to map the unique shape of their cornea, allowing us to design lenses that provide the perfect fit.
Once the lenses are ready, we’ll guide you and your child through proper wear and care instructions. Regular follow-up visits help us monitor their progress, make necessary adjustments, and ensure their myopia is being effectively managed.
