What are Night Lenses / OK-lenses?
Discover the Safe and Convenient Vision Correction Solution in Hong Kong!
Night Lenses / OK-lenses, also known as Orthok, offer a safe and effective non-surgical way to correct your vision. These special contact lenses, worn during your sleep, gently reshape your cornea, providing you with clear vision during the day—no more reliance on glasses or daytime contacts. Orthok is not just a vision correction method; it's also a cutting-edge myopia control technology, assisting in managing dry eyes. With the supervision of experienced optometrists, this treatment has demonstrated remarkable results in reducing moderate myopia and astigmatism. Excitingly, research suggests that Orthok may even slow down or halt the progression of myopia in children [1].
Discover the convenience and effectiveness of Night Lenses / OK-lenses through our exceptional Orthok Service in Hong Kong (orthok near me). Experience the freedom from glasses and daytime contacts and take the first step towards improved vision. We invite you to reach out to us today and explore the possibilities!
Aim of Night Lenses / Orthokeratology:
1. *daytime spectacle free
2. myopia control
3. contact lens option for dry eye cases
Long eyeball axial length will increase chance of eye diseases!
damage caused by high myopia
Night Lenses
*daytime spectacle free
Orthokeratology mechanism
With modern MCT orthokeratology, the specially designed contact lenses can reshape the cornea while ensuring high oxygen flow for the eyes. The process requires a precise assessment of the corneal profile to achieve the best results. This is done using a state-of-the-art corneal topographer, which is a shape and profile scanner that ensures high accuracy during the entire process. With this advanced technology, optometrists can monitor the corneal shape modification and make adjustments as needed, providing peace of mind for wearers and parents who want the best for their children's vision.

Who are suitable for night lenses (orthokeratology)?
- Kids (7+) and adults
- Less than -6.00D of myopia and with less than -2.00D of astigmatism. (For those with myopia stronger than -6.00D or corneal astigmatism higher than -1.50D, full bespoke specialty orthokeratology lens may be needed.)
- Myopia are progressing rapidly.
- Sports and water sports enthusiastic, e.g. swimming, diving, skiing.
- For those not suitable for LASIK refractive surgery
- For those with dry eye problem associated with soft contact lens
Myopia Damages Eyes
Pros:
1. *Good vision can usually be maintained throughout the day after lens removal.
2. Recent research has shown the usage of Ortho-K to be effective in slowing myopic progression in children [1] .
3. Ortho-k can reduce myopia of 5.00D within two weeks. However, individual variation does exist.
5. Complications associated with conventional contact lens wear, such as dryness and irritation from dust can be avoided.
6. Safe alternative to LASIK laser refractive surgery with no wounds and no dry eyes.
7. The Orthok-K effect is reversible and can be stopped anytime. The eyes will soon resume their normal condition thereafter.
Cons:
1. Ortho-k is NOT a CURE for myopia. The Ortho-K effect will wear off gradually after cease of lens wear.
2. Aftercare consultations are necessary to ensure effectiveness and safety.
3. Some contact lens-related problems, such as solution sensitivity, infection, corneal epithelial trauma or ulceration may occur, though the risk of complication is very dependent on compliance.
Attention! *To ensure the best vision for your child, it's important to understand that there are various factors that can affect their daytime vision. Sometimes, they may still need low power glasses for certain visual purposes even with Ortho-k treatment. While complications can happen, you can minimize the risk by maintaining good communication with your optometrist, strictly following their instructions, and attending regular checkups. If your child is unable to handle their contact lenses hygienically, it's important for parents to be prepared to assist them or consider alternative treatments. We are committed to ensuring the safety and success of your child's Ortho-k treatment.

**Case Examples:
**Case Example 1.:
- Calvin had myopia -2.50 binocularly. Since 1o years old, he put on night lenses (orthokeratology lenses) every night. At daytime, after removal of lenses, his residual prescription was around farsighted +0.75 to +1.00. He achieved functional vision without spectacles at daytime.
- Eight years later, he went to USA for university education. The nighttime contact lens wearing frequency was reduced to four times per week.
- At 18 years old, Calvin's myopia was right eye -2.50, left eye -2.75.
**Case Example 2.:
- Joan had myopia -3.50 binocularly. Since 13 years old, she put on night lenses (orthokeratology lenses) every night. At daytime, after removal of lenses, his residual prescription was around farsighted +0.50 to +0.75. She achieved functional vision without spectacles at daytime.
- Five years later, she went to Australia for medical school training. The wearing frequency of nighttime contact lenses was reduced to five times per week.
- At 22 years old, Joan's myopia was maintained -3.50.
**Case Example 3.:
- June had myopia -5.00 and presbyopia (reading problem) +2.00. since 50 years old, she cannot tolerate soft contact lenses because of severe dryness.
- By use of night lenses (orthokeratology lenses), she can manage her driving and reading tasks without spectacles. Her residual prescription was usually +0.25 to +0.50 for right eye and -0.75 for left eye.
- She was very happy without need of reading glasses.
