Correct Your Vision Without Surgery

Are you interested in vision correction without surgery?


What is Orthokeratology?

Ortho-K is short for Orthokeratology. It is a non-surgical treatment using custom-designed corneal lenses to reshape the curvature of the eye. Ortho-k eliminates the need for glasses or daytime contact lenses. Simply put the custom-designed corneal lenses that are unique to your eyes before bedtime, and when you awake, you will have clear and crisp vision during waking hours!


This safe and effective treatment can correct near-sightedness and astigmatism.

Fitting of ortho-k corneal lenses is not the same as traditional contact lens fitting methods. Dr.Kaur has received additional training and certification to be able to design and fit these specialty contact lenses.


What are the benefits of ortho-k?

  • Clear vision without daytime contact lenses or glasses

  • Research proves ortho-k helps to slow down or stop vision from progressively worsening in children

  • Great for active children and adults

  • LASIK cannot be performed on children under 18 years of age. Ortho-k is a great non-surgical way of correcting nearsightedness

  • Ortho-k frees individuals from distractions caused by glasses fogging

Ortho-K Is Safe!

There are several orthokeratology lenses that are approved for overnight wear by the FDA. Contact lenses used for overnight orthokeratology were approved in 2002.
