Ortho-Keratology

okPerfect for those who require device free vision during the day without the need for the risk of eye surgery. Please see our sister web site Wakeandsee.co.uk for more indepth information.

Ortho K temporarily reshapes the corneal surface in a gentle and microscopic way.

How does it work ?

Optometrists and other eye professionals have been using rigid contact lenses for 100 years. Only in the last 20 years have we been able to understand and predict the process with objective measurement of the corneal surface thus allowing lenses to be produced that are predictable in outcome.

Electron microscope imaging and more recently anterior OCT imaging have allowed insight into the microscopic changes going on that allow us to correct myopia. These changes are transient and temporary allowing the corneal tissues to return to base line normality in all cases.

The overnight lenses sit in close proximity to the corneal epithelium. Capillary or thin file forces move epithelial cells away from the central corneal apex towards the periphery. This effectively causes the impression of a micro-thin contact lens on the central corneal apex. This impression if of the correct thickness will counter the myopic or long length of the eye all correcting the refractive error.

  • This micro-thin contact lens is essentially invisible and the patient has no feeling of it at all.
  • Wake and See’s myopia control and stabilization system (MCSS) eliminates the need for glasses and contact lenses all day without any surgery.
  • Using custom made reshaping shells in the eye only at night whilst you sleep.
  • Wake and See MCSS will give you clear comfortable vision during all waking hours without the need for glasses or contact lenses.
  • Suitable for those whose prescription is between -0 .5 and -5.00 wake and See’s MCSS proven effective and safe.
  • Those with astigmatism up to -1.50 may also use the system.
  • After only 2 or 3 days you will be able to not use your spectacles or contact lenses completely during the day.
  • Once your vision has stabilized and you are device free during your waking hours regular and consistent top up overnight use of the shells is needed to maintain perfect vision.

Wake and See’s myopia control and stabilization system night time shells need the minimum of maintenance and are replaced automatically on a regular basis. Spare shells are always on hand for the rare event of loss or breakage.

Wake and See’s myopia control and stabilization system is a culmination of merging technology between IT , computer controlled manufacture and  NASA based polymer chemical research in space.

Orthokeratology, Orthok, CRT, IGO and Dreamlens are products that try to achive spectacle or contact lens free daytime vision. None deliver this in the convenient package at a place of your choice.

Wake and See offers a true 24 hour service via email or telephone directly to your qualified optometrist wake and see MCSS specialist.
