How Does Orthokeratology (CRT & VST) Work?
Orthokeratology (Ortho-K) is a non-surgical method that uses gas-permeable contact lenses to reshape the cornea, the clear front part of the eye responsible for focusing light. These lenses are worn overnight, gently moulding the cornea to correct refractive errors like myopia (nearsightedness) while you sleep.
When you remove the lenses in the morning, you can enjoy crisp, clear vision throughout the day without needing glasses or regular contact lenses. The reshaping process is temporary, meaning it requires consistent nightly use for sustained results, but it is entirely reversible if you decide to stop. This makes Ortho-K a flexible and safe alternative to more permanent surgical options like LASIK.

Who Are Good Candidates?
Ortho-k can work wonders for both kids and adults. Here’s who can benefit from this groundbreaking technique:
- Little legends with myopia
- Active little sport stars
- Busy professionals
- Adults with presbyopia or myopia
- Dry eye sufferers
- Adults passionate about sports or outdoor activities
Ortho-k is a highly individualised treatment, and not everyone may be a perfect fit. Consult with our optometrists to determine if Ortho-K is right for you or your child.
Eligibility Criteria for Adults
Adults with mild to moderate myopia or presbyopia and healthy eyes are typically good candidates. However, those with severe dry eyes, eye infections, or certain corneal conditions may not be suitable.
Eligibility Criteria for Children
Ortho-K is particularly effective for kids with mild to moderate myopia, especially those showing signs of progression. A commitment to wearing the lenses overnight and attending follow-up appointments is essential for success.
