OrthoK

OrthoK (see without glasses or contacts)

If you've longed for freedom from the frustrations of glasses, but don't want surgery, you've come to the right place! Welcome to the safe, reversible and cost effective alternative to laser surgery.

Now, this is not a "new age", "back to nature" or "throw away your glasses" program. This is scientifically proven corneal reshaping therapy that has been around for over 40 years. Recent research shows that it is an effective method for slowing down the progression of shortsighted-ness in children. It's called Orthokeratology. It is also known as Ortho-K, Corneal Reshaping, CRT and AOK.

We call it "No Specs" because Orthokeratology is too hard to remember, let alone say!

Advantages of "No Specs"

  • No glasses
  • No surgery
  • Myopia control in children
  • No daytime eye dryness from contacts
  • No worries about dusty or dry air
  • Reversible
  • You can wear regular sunglasses
  • Freedom to play sport and swim
  • Can be adjusted if your vision changes

Why Use "No Specs" for your Ortho-K?

At Harmony Vision Care, we:

  • Have many years of experience fitting both children and adults with contact lenses and Ortho-K.
  • Were the first on the Gold Coast to fit Ortho-K.
  • Utilize many different styles of Ortho-K as this ensures we can successfully treat more people.
  • Trust and use the treatments ourselves.

How Does "NoSpecs" Work?

While the science is complicated and uses the latest technology, the process itself is relatively simple for you:

You simply wear an individually prescribed overnight contact lens while you sleep. When you wake up, you remove the lens and are able to see for the rest of the day without needing any glasses or contact lenses.

You need to wear the lens every night or every second night, depending on the level of correction, to maintain clear sight.

OK for Kids, OK for Parents

Ortho-K is not just for adults. We have found "No Specs" to be a real hit for kids and their parents. Why? Well, for a start clinical research shows that it can help reduce how quickly your child becomes more myopic. This has life-long benefits in eye health and life-style.

While myopia control cannot be guaranteed to happen in every child, Ortho-K will still give each eligible child good sight all day. Parents prefer Ortho-K to normal contact lenses due to the added advantage that they no longer need to worry about children losing contact lenses or glasses at school. Parents feel more in control of their child’s lens wear, because their child is only wearing the lenses at home while they sleep.
