Ortho-K Lenses in Downtown Burbank
If you’re looking for clear, comfortable vision without glasses or daytime contacts, orthokeratology (ortho-k) may be the perfect solution. This non-surgical treatment gently reshapes the cornea overnight, allowing you to enjoy clear vision throughout the day.
At Monji Optometry, we offer custom ortho-k fittings for both children and adults who want freedom from eyewear and long-term protection for their vision. Patients across Glendale, Toluca Lake, and the greater San Fernando Valley trust us for safe, effective, and personalized care.
What is Orthokeratology?
Orthokeratology, often called ortho-k, uses specially designed rigid gas-permeable lenses that you wear while you sleep. As you rest, the lenses gently reshape the surface of your cornea, temporarily correcting nearsightedness (myopia) and other refractive errors. In the morning, you remove the lenses and enjoy clear vision all day, no glasses, no daytime contacts, and no surgery.
Think of ortho-k like orthodontics for your eyes, gently guiding your vision into focus while you sleep. It’s FDA-approved, completely reversible, and suitable for a wide range of patients, including children and teens, as well as adults seeking a non-surgical alternative to LASIK.
Who Can Benefit from Ortho-K?
- Children and teens with myopia (nearsightedness): to help slow progression and improve daily comfort.
- Adults with active lifestyles: ideal for those who play sports, travel frequently, or work in dusty environments where contacts or glasses are inconvenient.
- Post-LASIK patients: who may experience changes in vision over time and need customized correction.
- Patients seeking a LASIK alternative: for those who prefer a non-surgical, reversible vision correction option.
With proper fitting and regular follow-up, ortho-k lenses can provide sharp, stable vision and long-term comfort for a wide variety of patients.
