What is ORTHO-K?
Can you imagine the joy of waking up in the morning and not having to wear glasses or contact lenses during the day? Now you can!

Follow up in the next morning with your lenses. Stable visual acuity throughout the day is generally achieved within a week, although this may vary depending on individuals, especially on the extent of their myopia.
Follow-up after the first week, then 3 weeks later:
The check-up after a week is carried out without your lenses in the morning. After 3 weeks, another check up is carried out in the late afternoon to assess the adaption.
Check up after 2,6 and 12 months:
It is important to have check ups (without your lenses) at 2nd, 6th, and 121h month, and then every 6 months.
