The Science: Orthokeratology uses specially designed rigid gas-permeable lenses to temporarily reshape the cornea. This changes how light enters the eye, correcting refractive errors. Clinical studies show ortho-k can slow myopia progression by 40-60% in children.
Everything included in one monthly payment. No hidden fees.

"Our daughter went from -3.00 to barely needing correction in just 6 months. The best part? She can swim and play netball without worrying about glasses."
"My son's myopia was getting worse every year. Since starting ortho-k 18 months ago, his prescription has barely changed. Worth every cent."
"The subscription model makes it so affordable. We were spending more on glasses that kept getting broken. Now she sees perfectly all day."

Pre-Register NowYes. Ortho-k has been used safely in children for over 20 years. The lenses are FDA and TGA approved for myopia control. Our optometrists are specially trained in paediatric ortho-k.
Children as young as 8 can use ortho-k. The best age depends on your child's maturity and ability to handle lenses. We assess suitability during the initial consultation.
Most patients see improvement within 1-2 weeks of starting treatment. Full correction typically takes 2-4 weeks.
Vision will gradually return to its original state over 1-2 weeks. There are no permanent changes to the eye. This reversibility is one of ortho-k's key advantages.
We recommend replacement every 6-12 months depending on wear and condition. Our subscription plans include regular replacements.
Absolutely! Ortho-k is ideal for active kids. No glasses to break or contacts to dry out during sports. Swimming is also fine during the day.
