Ortho K Overnight Lenses
ORTHO K OVERNIGHT LENSES - RISK FREE ALTERNATIVE TO LASER EYE SURGERY
Ortho K overnight lenses correct vision without the need for contact lenses during the day. This is made possible by a specially designed Ortho K contact lens that reverses the power of the cornea at the front of the eye during overnight wear. Once the full effect of the Ortho K process has taken place the eye is effectively 'normal' and can see clearly during the day. Once one stops wearing Ortho K lenses the eye goes back to normal, so they are great and risk free alternative to laser eye surgery. Our practitioner Charles Babumba made an Ortho K overnight lenses related TV appearance on ITV's This Morning in October 2005. You can watch the video on Youtube:
