Orthokeratology is a procedure which uses custom designed rigid contact lenses to gently reshapes the front of your eye (the cornea). The lenses are worn overnight, while sleeping, and upon waking you will have near-perfect vision during the day. This eliminating the need for wearing glasses or daytime contact lenses. OrthoK is completely reversible and if you cease wearing the lenses, your eyes will eventually go back to their original shape in about 1 to 2 weeks.
What it is used for:
Ortho-k is a great non-surgical procedure for those who are short-sighted wanting freedom from glasses or contact lenses during the day. This provides lifestyle benefits particularly for active children and adults, sports and recreational activities.
Ortho-k is also used commonly as a treatment to slow down the progression of short-sightedness especially in young patients. Studies have shown that ortho K has a 50% efficacy in reducing progression, and a slower rate leads to safer ocular health outcomes.
Process:
Your optometrist will map and measure the surface of your eye using an instrument called a corneal topographer and if deemed suitable of Ortho-K they will design a lens specifically for your eyes. When the lens has been manufactured and has arrived back at the practice, the optometrist will teach you how to insert and remove the lens and go over daily maintenance steps. They will assess your eyes after 1 night, 1-2 weeks, 1 month, 3 months and then routinely every 6 months.

Rigid Gas Permeable (RGP) lenses are made of a harder type of material compared to soft contact lenses. They are a custom-made lens unique to each person’s eyes and are designed for those patients whose vision requirements are beyond the parameters available in soft contact lenses such as those with high prescriptions or certain eye conditions.
What it is used for:
For patients with very high prescription or a distortion of the front of their eyes commonly seen in patients with keratoconus – Rigid contact lenses can provide sharper and more natural vision compared to glasses or soft contact lenses.
Process:
Your optometrist will map and measure the surface of your eye using an instrument called a corneal topographer and will design a lens specifically for your eye.
When the lens has been manufactured and has arrived back at the practice, the optometrist will teach you how to insert and remove the lens and go over daily maintenance steps.
They will assess your eyes and vision after 2-4 weeks, 3 months and then routinely every 12 months.

Scleral are large diameter lenses made with the same material used in Rigid contact lenses. Scleral lenses can be considered a non “contact” lenses because they do not rest on the front surface of the eye (cornea). Instead, these lenses vaults over the cornea, and the edge of the lens rests on the white of the eye (the sclera). The space between the lens and the cornea is filled with saline solution which keeps your eyes hydrated and neutralises any corneal irregularities providing superior vision compared to traditional contact lenses.
What it is used for:
Scleral lenses are medical and therapeutic devises. Some eye conditions that may indicate their use include:
• Keratoconus
• Chronic dry eye
• Post-surgical complications
• injury from ocular trauma
• congenital eye abnormalities
Process:
Your optometrist will map and measure the surface of your eye using an instrument called a corneal topographer. A trial kit of different lenses will be ordered and the optometrist will find the best fitting lens for your eye and will then alter the parameters to customise the lens design to your eye. When the lens has been manufactured and has arrived back at the practice, the optometrist will teach you how to insert and remove the lens and go over daily maintenance steps. They will assess your eyes and vision after 2-4 weeks, 3 months and then routinely every 12 months.
