Ortho-K Near Chippendale

If you live in Chippendale and are considering orthokeratology, Beyond Eyecare provides Ortho-K from our nearby Surry Hills practice.

Principal Optometrist David Truong has a particular interest in Ortho-K, myopia management and specialty contact lenses. David and our optometry team carefully assess your eyes, map the shape of your corneas and fit lenses according to your individual requirements.

For adults who want an alternative to wearing glasses or contacts during the day, or parents exploring ways to manage their child’s myopia, we can assess whether Ortho-K could provide a suitable option.

Reversible & Low Risk

Ortho-K corrects vision without surgery or permanently changing your eyes. You wear specially fitted lenses while sleeping to temporarily reshape the cornea, then remove them each morning.

If you stop wearing the lenses, your cornea gradually returns towards its previous shape and the vision-correcting effect wears off.

Suitable For Dry Eye Sufferers

Some people find daytime contact lenses uncomfortable when dryness or irritation develops after several hours of wear.

With Ortho-K, you wear your lenses while you sleep rather than throughout the day. This allows you to spend your waking hours without conventional contact lenses, which may suit some people who experience contact lens-related dryness.

Perfect For Active Outdoor Adults

Sport, exercise and outdoor activities can become easier when you don’t need glasses or daytime contacts to see clearly.

Ortho-K can appeal to swimmers, surfers and people involved in contact sports because you remove the lenses after waking. It also avoids wearing contact lenses in water, which can contain parasites and other microorganisms that may cause serious eye infections and complicate daily contact lens use.

Proven Myopia Control For Kids

Research supports Ortho-K as one of the available methods for slowing myopia progression in children.

By reducing excessive growth in the length of the eye, Ortho-K can help limit how quickly myopia progresses. Keeping myopia lower may also reduce some of the eye health risks associated with high myopia later in life.
