HEALTH AND WELLBEING: Correct your vision while you sleep

ORTHO-K lenses correct your vision while you sleep. Simply pop your ortho-k lenses in before bedtime, remove them in the morning, and wake up to a world of clear, sharp, natural vision. Ortho-k is sometimes called EyeDream.

Ortho-k allows people suffering from myopia, or short-sightedness, to enjoy a life without lenses or specs during the day, whilst enjoying clear, natural, corrected vision.

- Safe, comfortable and effective vision correction

Ortho-k lenses gently reshape the curvature of the eye overnight. The cornea plays a key role in creating a sharp, optical focus. Upon waking, the slight change in cornea curvature is enough to create clear, sharp vision for the duration of the day.

In addition it is believed that the refocusing of light on the peripheral retina can slow down the progression of short-sightedness in children.

Ortho-k has been in use in the UK since 2002, and is only ever fitted by an optical specialist. It is non-invasive, comfortable, effective and safe and has already transformed the lives of thousands of people.

Ortho-k is ideal for:

• People who want clear natural vision all day - every day

• Sporty or active people

• Young people - Ortho-k can help to reduce the progression of shortsightedness

• People who have considered laser surgery but are worried about the risks

• People who find contact lenses uncomfortable or specs inconvenient
