| Orthokeratology is,
|
| The temporary reduction of myopia achieved by the programmed application of contact lenses to reshape the cornea.
Modern orthokeratology (ortho-k) achieves this with reverse geometry gas permeable [GP] ortho-k shaping lenses that is specially designed and worn during sleep.
|
| History of orthokeratology |
| Orthokeratology, or ortho-k fitting, has been employed since the early 1960s In one or another form
in the United States by George Jessen.
In 1996, Dr.Tom Reim developed 4 Curve Design ortho-k lens for more effective and safe. Now Lucid Korea has developed 5 Curve Design ortho-k lens for advanced orthokeratology.

| Gently change the shape of your eye to correct Myopia |
| The Ortho-K LK Lens Contact lens is a unique gas permeable contact lens that changes the shape of the eye while sleeping. The result is improved for uncorrected vision throughout the day.
The Ortho-K LK Lens offers an alternative solution. Unlike surgical procedures whose results are permanent, the Ortho-K LK Lens design can be fine-tuned to address any future vision needs. Plus, if you choose to stop wearing the Ortho-K LK Lens, the eye returns to its original shape.

| Benefits for Ortho-K LK Lens |
| The alternative way of myopia management, not through surgery |
| Higher safety than surgery (PRK), Low rate of
critical side effect |
| Can be reversible after 3~4 weeks, discontinuing lens wear |
| Effective to reduce myopia at every age, especially for
juvenile |
| Can be controlled myopia progression as well as myopia reduction |
| Easy to reduce myopia by overnight wear of lenses |
| Not necessary to wear lenses at daytime
