Ortho-K Near Tempe

Whether you’re cycling along the Cooks River or enjoying Tempe Recreation Reserve, wouldn’t it be convenient to leave your glasses behind? For Tempe residents, Ortho-K contact lenses may offer that freedom. Beyond Eyecare provides orthokeratology consultations and fittings at East Village Shopping Centre in Zetland.

Principal Optometrist David Truong has a clinical interest in Ortho-K, myopia management and specialty contact lenses, helping patients explore their options.

Ortho-K contact lenses temporarily reshape the cornea overnight, potentially providing clear daytime vision without glasses. For Tempe children with progressive myopia, they may also help slow the progression of short-sightedness.

Reversible & Low Risk

Ortho-K lenses gently and temporarily reshape your corneas overnight, providing vision correction without surgery.

You remove the lenses after waking and the effect continues during the day. If you stop using Ortho-K, your corneas gradually return towards their original shape.

Suitable For Dry Eye Sufferers

Some people find conventional contact lenses become dry or uncomfortable during extended daytime wear.

Ortho-K lenses work while you sleep, so you can go through the day without contacts. This may suit people who experience discomfort with regular daytime lenses.

Perfect For Active Outdoor Adults

Ortho-K can remove the need for glasses or daytime contacts when you swim, exercise or participate in sport.

It also keeps contact lenses out of 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 an option for slowing excessive eye growth and myopia progression in children.

By controlling progression, we aim to limit the degree of myopia a child develops and reduce some of the eye health risks associated with higher myopia later in life.

Tempe may not have the glamour of Sydney’s eastern suburbs, but what it lacks in beaches, it makes up for in local character. From cycling beside the Cooks River to weekend sport at Tempe Recreation Reserve and exploring the Tempe Wetlands, residents have plenty of opportunities to enjoy their local surroundings.

Beyond Eyecare welcomes Tempe residents to our practice at East Village Shopping Centre in Zetland. We provide comprehensive eye examinations, prescription glasses, contact lens fittings and ongoing eye health care, helping members of the Tempe community look after their vision at every stage of life.
