Orthokeratology
What Is Orthokeratology?
Orthokeratology (Ortho-K) is another successful method of myopia control. Ortho-K is a hard lens designed to change the shape of the cornea and correct the near-sightedness while a patient sleeps. The patient then does not require glasses or contact lenses during the day.
The cornea re-shaping changes the way light focuses in the back of the eye and greatly slows Myopia progression in a large group of patients. There is no age minimum for treatment.

Dr. Labiento and her staff are supportive, professional, kind, and experts. I have been a patient for many years. I deeply respect Dr. Labiento as she has cared for me and identified eye issues early on. She treated me quickly without complications. They have worked with my busy schedule to fit me in. I recommend Dr. Labiento for your eye care. They also have a great selection of glasses!
