For active individuals, busy parents, and families exploring paediatric vision care, orthokeratology offers a practical way to enjoy clearer daytime sight without glasses or daytime contact lenses. Also known as corneal reshaping therapy, Corneal Refractive Therapy, or Vision Shaping Treatment, this option uses Ortho-K lenses, Overnight lenses, night lenses, rigid contact lenses, or gas permeable contact lenses during nighttime wear. These custom-fitted contact lenses gently reshape the eye’s surface while you sleep, helping correct refractive errors and refractive vision errors without laser eye surgery, photorefractive keratectomy, or other surgical procedures.
A strong treatment plan should begin with a detailed eye exam and contact lens exam by an eye care professional. The process usually includes corneal topography, corneal mapping technology, a Biometric test, and a 3D map of the cornea to assess visual acuity, tear film, tear film pressure, lens fit, dry eyes, ocular pathologies, and overall visual health. Because Myopia progression can affect axial length and increase risks such as retinal detachment, the right clinic matters. Here are five top options for orthokeratology procedures in and around Etobicoke.
