Perfect for active teens and people that are not a candidate for LASIK. Enjoy swimming and sports with freedom from contacts or glasses. Ortho-K works while you sleep, reshaping the cornea to its optimal shape. Take the mould off when you wake up and enjoy crystal clear, unemcumbered vision all day.
Dr. Arroyo is a certified specialist for the fitting of a very advanced custom corneal mold that you wear while you sleep. The cornea is elastic in nature, and its curvature can be gently molded; a corneal topographic evaluation will allow the doctor to generate a unique lens that will exert a controlled amount of pressure on the cornea. By changing its curvature, light focuses exactly on the retina, resulting in clear vision.
Corneal Molding or Ortho-K is non-invasive and completely reversible if necessary. In addition, Ortho-K is the only option to control Myopia; there is no surgical procedure that can do that.
