Ortho-K Near Paddington

If you live in Paddington and are interested in orthokeratology, Beyond Eyecare’s Surry Hills practice is conveniently located nearby.

Successful Ortho-K treatment starts with a detailed assessment of your eyes, followed by accurate lens fitting and regular reviews to monitor your progress. Principal Optometrist David Truong has a special interest in orthokeratology, myopia control and specialty contact lenses. He works alongside an experienced optometry team using advanced diagnostic equipment to assess your vision and eye health throughout treatment.

For adults wanting clear daytime vision without relying on glasses or contact lenses, or parents considering myopia control for their child, we can assess whether Ortho-K may be suitable for their individual needs.

Reversible & Low Risk

Ortho-K provides a non-surgical approach to vision correction that does not permanently alter the eye. Specially designed lenses are worn overnight to temporarily change the shape of the cornea, with the effect gradually reversing when lens wear is discontinued. This can make Ortho-K worth considering for people who want an alternative to permanent surgical procedures.

Suitable For Dry Eye Sufferers

Wearing conventional contact lenses for long periods can contribute to dryness and irritation for some people. Ortho-K lenses work differently because they are worn overnight and taken out when you wake. This leaves you contact lens-free throughout the day, which some patients find more comfortable for working, studying and other daily activities.

Perfect For Active Outdoor Adults

Ortho-K can be particularly useful for people who swim, surf, play contact sports or spend plenty of time outdoors. Once the lenses are removed in the morning, you can go about your day without needing glasses or daytime contact lenses.

It also means you don’t need to swim while wearing contact lenses. This helps avoid contact lens exposure to contaminated water and the associated risk of serious infections, including Acanthamoeba keratitis.

Proven Myopia Control For Kids

Ortho-K is among the extensively researched options available for managing progressive myopia in children.

Studies have found that orthokeratology can slow excessive eye growth in many children. Controlling this growth can reduce the likelihood of a child developing high myopia, which is associated with an increased risk of several eye conditions later in life.
