There are a number of types of contact lens currently available, each with their own unique features. To avoid confusion we've included a brief description of the different kinds, so you're equipped with some basic background information. When you come for your appointment we'll assess your needs and select a suitable type.
Ortho K
This is a revolutionary new vision correction therapy. The procedure
uses specially designed contact lens that gently corrects vision overnight, eliminating the need for contact lenses or spectacles during the day.
Ortho K brings a modern approach to a technique known as orthokeratology. Ortho K lenses are manufactured from a special highly oxygen permeable material. When worn during the night these lenses apply a controlled shape to the cornea, eliminating short sightedness. Ortho K is ideal for low-mid shortsighted people and is a safe, comfortable, semi-permanent form of vision correction without the risks associated with surgery. We're one of the first opticians in the country to offer patients this new treatment and our eye care practitioners have undergone extensive Ortho K training.
