Clear, comfortable vision shouldn’t slow you down. If you’re tired of relying on glasses or daytime contact lenses, orthokeratology (Ortho-K) may be the solution you’ve been looking for. Our experienced eye doctor in Miami, FL, Dr. Rishi Shah, provides customized Ortho-K treatment designed to correct vision overnight - so you can enjoy the day without lenses.

What Is Ortho-K?

Ortho-K uses specially designed, breathable contact lenses worn while you sleep. These lenses gently reshape the cornea so that when you wake up and remove them, you can see clearly throughout the day with no need for glasses or daytime contacts. It’s a popular option for patients who want freedom from lenses during work, sports, or other daily activities.

Can Adults Benefit from Ortho-K?

While Ortho-K is well-known for slowing myopia progression in children, many adults are discovering its advantages as well. Adults who have active lifestyles or work in environments where glasses or daytime contacts are inconvenient often find Ortho-K to be a game-changer.

Who Is a Good Candidate for Ortho-K in Miami?

Dr. Rishi Shah evaluates each patient individually, but adults may be ideal candidates if they:

•           Have mild to moderate nearsightedness (myopia)

•           Prefer a non-surgical alternative to LASIK or are not good LASIK candidates

•           Experience discomfort wearing contacts during the day

•           Work in dusty or dry environments where contacts may be problematic

•           Want clear vision during sports or outdoor activities

•           Prefer a reversible, fully customizable vision correction treatment

During your Ortho-K consultation, Dr. Shah will perform advanced corneal mapping to determine whether this treatment is right for your vision and lifestyle.

The Benefits of Ortho-K for Adults

Ortho-K offers several unique advantages:

•           Daytime freedom from glasses and contact lenses

•           Quick results, often within days to a few weeks

•           Non-invasive and reversible treatment

•           Enhanced comfort for dry eye sufferers who struggle with daytime lenses

•           Clear, stable vision that supports an active lifestyle

What to Expect with Ortho-K

Most adults adjust to nighttime wear quickly. Dr. Rishi Shah and the Ives Family Eye Care team will provide detailed instructions and follow-up appointments to ensure your eyes remain healthy and your vision correction is effective.
