ORTHO-K
Dr. Yoon and Dr. Yang is certified to treat patients with Ortho-K therapy. These lenses are specially designed for the individual's eyes to be worn overnight to temporary decrease the amount of myopia (nearsightedness) and mild astigmatism during the day as well as to decrease the progression of childhood myopia.
The Ortho- K lenses are gas permeable lenses that gently reshapes your cornea as you sleep.
Dr. Yoon uses state of the art topographer (Corneal mapping) to ensure the health of the cornea during the treatment.
This therapy is most effective on mild to moderate myopia but can correct upwards of -6.00 diopters. The patient can expect to see 20/40 or better after the lenses have been fitted and the vision should last a day or two. However for best results, the patient should be wearing the lenses to sleep every night.
If you are interested in Ortho-K lenses, please set up an appointment for a consult.
