Orthokeratology (Ortho-K) Shaping System

Orthokeratology (Ortho-K) Shaping System, OSS, is a process that uses customize specialty gas permeable contact lenses, approved by FDA, to reshape the curvature of the eye to improve vision. A thin force under the Ortho-K lens reshapes across the corneal surfaces. It is painless and non-invasive treatment. The safe & effective treatment can correct long-sightedness or short-sightedness with astigmatism. Our Optometrist at EMME Visioncare will use equipment to measure your eyes accurately and also to ensure your eyes are suitable to wear Ortho-K lenses. Most Ortho-K wearers will achieve functional clear vision during waking hours & do not feel the need of using any glasses or contact lenses throughout the whole day. The wearers wear the lenses at night to sleep, in the morning they remove the lens after they woke up. They do not need to wear any glasses to school or to work after that. It has been shown Ortho-K treatment in children is effective in slowing myopia progression.
