ORTHOKERATOLOGY
Often referred to as Ortho-K or corneal reshaping, orthokertatology is an FDA-approved, non-surgial, and reversible method of correcting your vision.
Suitable for both children and adults!
It involves wearing custom-fitted contact lenses while sleeping, which gently and temporarily reshape the cornea (the clear front part of the eye). This allows light to focus correctly on the retina to provide clear vision during the day without glasses or contacts.
Ortho-K is a specialized treatment that requires a customized fitting by an eyecare professional. Regular follow-up visits are necessary to monitor progress and ensure that the lenses fit properly and proper eye health is maintained.
Ortho-K is particularly useful for children and adults with nearsightedness (myopia), but it can also help with mild to moderate astigmatism and farsightedness. It significantly slows the progression of the worsening of a child's eves. It's also a popular option for those who are not suitable for laser eye surgery.
Overall, orthokeratology is surgery-free and offers a convenient and reversible way to correct. Upon consultation, it can be recommended to the right candidate, from children to adults. Schedule a consultation with Dr. Oh to see if you are a suitable candidate for Ortho-K todav.

ATROPINE
An eye drop therapy that aims to slow myopia progression in children
ATROPINE EYE DROP THERAPY
The atropine treatment program is designed for children too young to use soft lenses for myopia control or children with rapidly worsening myopia progression. Atropine can be used simultaneously with Ortho-K or soft lenses for optimal myopia progression control.
Atropine is typically given as eyedrops to both eyes at bedtime every night, but it can be given as little as 3-4 times in the summer months as desired.
Treatment with atropine is typically 2 years long and requires an initial visit for a routine exam and periodic follow-up visits to check progression and proper dosage of treatment.
