Orthokeratology, often called Corneal Reshaping Therapy (CRT) or Vision Shaping Treatment (VST), uses specially designed, rigid gas permeable contact lenses to gently and temporarily reshape the front surface of your eye (the cornea) while you sleep.

• Wear while you sleep: Simply put in your custom lenses before bed.
• Remove in the morning: Take them out when you wake up.
• Enjoy clear vision all day: See clearly without glasses or contacts.

While this non-surgical treatment is a fantastic alternative to LASIK or wearing daytime contacts, the lenses must be worn regularly at night to maintain the effect.

Ortho-K is an excellent solution for a wide range of patients in the Ashburn area, including:

• Children and Teens: For parents in Ashburn, VA, Ortho-K is one of the most effective and safest ways to manage and slow the progression of childhood nearsightedness (myopia). We often start fitting children as young as 7 or 8.
• Adults: Professionals who struggle with dry eyes from daytime contacts or those whose jobs make glasses difficult (e.g., firefighters, police, construction workers).
• Those Not Ready for LASIK: A great, reversible option for vision correction.
