Ortho-K: Clear Vision Without Glasses or Surgery – Reservoir Spectacles Melbourne
At Reservoir Spectacles Melbourne, we offer Ortho-K lenses, also known as orthokeratology, a breakthrough non-surgical solution for correcting myopia (short-sightedness). Whether you're an adult, teenager, or child, Ortho-K lenses gently reshape the cornea overnight, providing you with clear vision all day long without the need for glasses or daytime contacts.
How Ortho-K Works
Ortho-K lenses are overnight contact lenses that reshape the cornea while you sleep. These lenses work by gently molding the surface of the eye, helping to address refractive errors like myopia, astigmatism, and mild hyperopia. When you wake up and remove the lenses, you’ll experience clear vision throughout the day, without the need for prescription glasses or contact lenses.
The process is safe, effective, and reversible—if you don’t wear the lenses for a few days, your cornea will gradually return to its natural shape.

What Makes Ortho-K Different?
Unlike regular contact lenses, Ortho-K lenses are specially designed to reshape the cornea while you sleep. Made from rigid gas-permeable materials, these lenses allow for optimal oxygen flow and provide a customised fit based on your specific prescription.
The gentle reshaping of the cornea helps to improve your vision, and the effects typically last 24 hours. Most patients notice an improvement in their vision after just one night of wearing the lenses, with full stabilisation usually occurring within 1-2 weeks.
Is Ortho-K Safe?
Yes! Ortho-K is a completely safe, non-invasive treatment. Because the reshaping effect is temporary, it offers a reversible solution for those who aren’t ready for permanent corrective surgery. If you stop using Ortho-K, your cornea will gradually return to its natural shape.
Who Can Benefit from Ortho-K?
The cost of Ortho-K lenses starts from $1,200, depending on your specific prescription and eye condition. Although the upfront cost might seem significant, Ortho-K lenses can lead to long-term savings by reducing your reliance on glassesand daytime contact lenses.

Why Choose Ortho-K?
- Non-Surgical Alternative: Ortho-K offers a non-invasive, safe, and reversible alternative to traditional vision correction methods like laser surgery. It’s ideal for those who want to avoid surgery or need a temporary solution without relying on glasses or daytime contacts.
- Perfect for Children and Teens: Ortho-K is an excellent solution for young people with progressive myopia. By reshaping the cornea, it helps to slow the progression of myopia, reducing the risk of serious future eye conditions. It’s a safe, non-invasive option, especially for kids who are too young for laser surgery.
- For Active Adults and Athletes: Ortho-K is ideal for those who live an active lifestyle or participate in sports, where glasses or daytime contacts can be cumbersome. Ortho-K lets you enjoy clear vision without the hassle of glasses during the day.
- Cost-Effective Solution: Although the initial cost of Ortho-K lenses starts from $1,200, you can save on prescription glasses and daytime contacts in the long run.
Benefits of Ortho-K Lenses
- Glasses-Free Vision: Ortho-K allows you to experience clear vision without glasses—perfect for children and adults alike. It’s ideal for kids who find traditional glasses or contacts uncomfortable or impractical, and for adults who want to avoid the inconvenience of corrective eyewear.
- Control Myopia Progression: For children showing early signs of myopia, Ortho-K helps slow its progression, preventing future vision complications like retinal detachment or glaucoma.
- Comfortable and Simple: Once you insert the Ortho-K lenses before bed, they work overnight to reshape the cornea. You’ll wake up with clear vision that lasts throughout the day, all with minimal discomfort.
- Safe and Reversible: Ortho-K is a completely safe treatment. If you decide that Ortho-K isn’t right for you, simply stop wearing the lenses, and your cornea will gradually return to its natural shape.
How Ortho-K Works
- Insert Ortho-K lenses before bed.
- Sleep soundly.
- Remove the lenses in the morning.
- Store them in solution to clean.
