Ortho Keratology & RGP Lenses

What is Ortho K?

'Ortho K' is a revolutionary safe therapy to correct Short-sightedness (Myopia) which is Reversible, Non-Surgical, and Non-Invasive.

It works by using specially designed RGP contact lenses that gently reshape the cornea correcting your vision while you sleep. Then during the day you are free from having to wear any contact lens or glasses!

These lenses also slow the rate of increase in Myopia, so it is often used for children as their first correction, many children now don't get glasses for short-sight at all, they go straight to Ortho K!

Rigid Gas Permeable (RGP) Contact lenses

(often referred to as "RGP's" or "Hard" contact lenses).

These are well proven and very successful, they give very good value for money. After a few days adaption they are as comfortable as soft lenses, we really should use them more than we do!

They are the most economical contact lens option of all, the yearly cost is much cheaper than Soft contact lenses but they are often overlooked by the patient who has heard so many friends to be wearing soft lenses. The word 'Hard' is understandably a little off-putting, but they are very in fact comfortable!

There is even a Government subsidy for patients with Keratoconus (Irregular curves) and for patients with very high prescriptions (over -10.00). This subsidy greatly offesets the costs of contacts for these patients.
