orthokeratology

Orthokeratology (Ortho-K) is an advanced, non-surgical vision correction method that uses specially designed custom rigid gas permeable lenses worn overnight to gently reshape the cornea.

In the morning, the lenses are removed—allowing you to enjoy clear vision throughout the day without glasses or daytime contact lenses.

At Shekhar Eye Research, Orthokeratology is delivered with precision, safety, and personalization.

Myopia is increasing worldwide. Uncontrolled progression may increase long-term risks such as retinal detachment, glaucoma, and myopic maculopathy.

Orthokeratology:

• Reduces progression of myopia
• Controls axial elongation
• Provides spectacle-free daytime vision
• Ideal for active children (sports, swimming, dance)

We combine advanced corneal topography, axial length monitoring, and scientific protocols to ensure safe and effective myopia management.

Not everyone is a candidate for LASIK.

Common reasons include:

• Thin cornea
• Dry eye disease
• Irregular cornea
• Young age
• Occupational restrictions

Orthokeratology provides a non-surgical alternative for these patients, offering:

• Clear daytime vision
• Reversible treatment
• No permanent tissue removal
• Safe and adjustable correction

Some patients experience residual refractive error or regression after LASIK.

Orthokeratology can:

• Fine-tune refractive correction
• Improve quality of vision
• Reduce dependency on enhancement surgery
• Provide non-invasive correction

Our advanced corneal mapping allows us to design lenses even for altered post-surgical corneal profiles.

We offer Presbyopia Management using customized Orthokeratology designs—without traditional multifocal optics.

Benefits include:

• Functional near and distance vision
• Natural visual experience
• No daytime glasses
• Ideal for early and active presbyopes

Each design is customized based on pupil size, corneal geometry, and visual demands.

We use FDA-approved, high-oxygen-permeable materials to ensure maximum corneal health and safety during overnight wear.

Every Orthokeratology lens is:

• Individually designed
• Based on corneal topography
• Customized to eye shape, refractive error, and lifestyle needs
• Optimized for centration and stability

No “stock lenses” — only precision custom designs, made in America.

We don't believe in dispensing orthok lenses from fitting set or lenses tried by other patients.

Every eye is unique and hence every lenses is uniquely designed. Our first fit success rate is 96%.

Our Orthokeratology lenses are manufactured in the USA, maintaining:

• Strict quality control
• High precision lathe technology
• International standards of excellence

At Shekhar Eye Research, we follow a structured scientific protocol:

1. Comprehensive Eye Examination
2. Corneal Topography & Mapping
3. Tear Film & Ocular Surface Assessment
4. Axial Length Monitoring (for Myopia Control)
5. Customized Lens Design
6. Regular Monitoring & Safety Follow-ups

Orthokeratology is suitable for:

• Children with progressive myopia
• Adults seeking spectacle-free vision
• Patients unfit for LASIK
• Post-LASIK residual errors
• Presbyopia ( patients over 40 years of age, needing reading glass)
• Sports professionals
• Defense & aviation aspirants

Yes—when properly designed and monitored.

Safety depends on:

• FDA-approved materials
• Accurate fitting
• Proper hygiene
• Regular follow-ups

With expert supervision, Orthokeratology has an excellent safety profile.

• Non-surgical
• Reversible
• Daytime freedom from glasses
• Effective myopia control
• Suitable for children
• Safe alternative to refractive surgery
• Customized for each eye
