Is Ortho-k Right for You?

Ortho-k lenses may be an excellent option for you or your children if:

• You wear glasses or contact lenses for nearsightedness, farsightedness, or astigmatism
• You want freedom from contacts and glasses throughout the day for yourself or your children
• You live an active lifestyle and don’t want to hassle with vision correction during sports, outdoors, working out, or in the water
• Your child’s prescription keeps changing yearly
• Your child needs contact lenses but has difficulty wearing and caring for them
• You’re interested in LASIK for your children, but they are too young
• You’re interested in LASIK for yourself, but don’t like the idea of a permanent change to your eye
• You want to wake up at night and see

The Ortho-k Process

Paragon CRT lenses are designed to gently correct the curvature of the cornea, adjusting the corneal shape so that light focuses directly onto the retina. We want to help your children excel, and Paragon CRT lenses are an excellent solution for those who:

• Want a lens-free lifestyle
• Are too young for LASIK, or not a LASIK candidate
• Find soft contacts irritating and difficult to wear

To determine if Ortho-k is the right solution for you or your child, the first step is scheduling a comprehensive eye exam for your children—from there, we can begin preparing their personalized myopia control plan.
