Ortho-K (Shift Lenses)
Would you like to experience clear vision without wearing glasses or contact lenses during the day? Orthokeratology using Shift lenses gently re-shapes your cornea while you sleep leaving your vision clear during the day without the need for glasses or daytime contacts. It is non-surgical and non-permanent and can be modified easily if your prescription changes – unlike laser eye surgery.
Shift lenses are great for sportspeople, those working in dusty or windy environments, office workers struggling with air conditioning, and anyone who likes the sound of laser surgery without the surgery. In children, Shift lenses have the added bonus of slowing down the progression of myopia (short sightedness).
Book an appointment with our Shift lens experts and see whether you might be able to ditch the glasses for summer.
