OrthoK for Kids, Adults & Athletes

Eye Care Olathe Kansas

Freedom from glasses and daytime contacts with OrthoK.

Is your child wearing glasses or contact lenses? Is their prescription getting stronger and stronger every year?

Orthokeratology, or OrthoK, is an overnight process to correct vision, leaving your child free from the need for glasses or contact lenses during the day. OrthoK is also proven to slow or stop the progression of myopia—keeping your child’s vision from getting worse every year and lowering their risk for serious vision conditions later in life such as glaucoma, macular degeneration, and retinal detachment.

Don’t wait until your child’s eyes get worse, give them the gift of healthy eyes and vision for a lifetime. Contact us today. We can help!

ORTHOK IS AN INVESTMENT FOR A LIFETIME!

At Reed Family Vision Myopia Control Center, we have years of experience providing state-of-the-art OrthoK services for young kids, teens, and adults throughout Olathe and the greater Kansas City area. Our experienced Myopia Control specialist, Dr. Reed, will assess your child’s vision and design a custom-fit OrthoK retainer contact lens for your child.

OrthoK gently and painlessly reshapes your child’s cornea while they sleep, allowing for clear vision the next day without any glasses or contact lenses. This process is repeated nightly. OrthoK lenses are FDA approved, safe, reliable and effective. As with any contact lens wear, risks are greatly decreased with excellent hygiene and hand washing techniques.

OrthoK for Adults

OrthoK is not just for kids. OrthoK is an excellent alternative for adults who don’t want to wear glasses or contact lenses during the day. OrthoK is an non-surgical alternative to LASIK and will often work for people who don’t want or are not good candidates for LASIK or other vision correction surgeries. Please book a consultation with Dr. Reed online or contact our office today at (913)732-2552 to find out if OrthoK is right for you.

OrthoK for Athletes & Professionals

Many professional athletes, military, law enforcement, and construction workers choose OrthoK because of the decreased dependence on glasses and daytime contact lenses to correct their vision during playing sports or physical labor.  

If you play basketball, baseball, soccer, football, swim or any sport, being glasses or contact lens free can be a huge benefit.  OrthoK can provide this advantage.

Myopia, or nearsightedness, affects nearly half of all athletes. OrthoK can provide great vision during the day and for young athletes it can help slow or stop the progression of myopia so it does not get worse.
