5 Signs You Might Be a Good Candidate for Orthokeratology

Wearing glasses every day can feel like a hassle. And if your contact lenses irritate your eyes, they may not be worth it. Non-surgical options, such as Orthokeratology, offer freedom, clarity, and convenience — without requiring permanent changes to your eyes.

At Linda Vision in Monterey Park, CA, Dr. Linda Vu is a board-certified ophthalmologist with more than 20 years of experience in laser and non-surgical vision correction. A Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons, Dr. Vu has performed over 13,000 procedures and fits each Orthokeratology patient with customized Paragon CRT lenses for safe, precise results.

Signs Orthokeratology May Be Right for You

There are several signs that you might benefit from CRT lenses:

1. You have mild to moderate myopia: Orthokeratology is most effective for patients with prescriptions up to -6.00 diopters.
2. You struggle with dry eyes or contact lens discomfort: CRT lenses are only worn while sleeping, helping avoid daytime irritation.
3. Your vision changes frequently: Ortho-K is a flexible solution that can be adjusted as your vision evolves.

• You dislike the look or feel of glasses: Clear, glasses-free vision is possible during the day with no surgery.
• You want to avoid permanent procedures: CRT is reversible and ideal for patients not ready for LASIK.

If any of these apply, Ortho-K may offer the lifestyle-friendly solution you need.

When to Consider CRT Over LASIK

While LASIK is a great choice for some, CRT has several benefits for others. Consider Orthokeratology if:

• You’re too young for LASIK: LASIK is only approved for adults 18 years and older with stable prescriptions.
• You have dry eye symptoms: LASIK can exacerbate dryness, whereas CRT avoids it entirely.
• You want more control: CRT lets you adjust or stop treatment at any time without lasting effects.
• You’re active in contact sports: Ortho-K reduces the risk of injury since no lenses or glasses are needed during the day.

Orthokeratology is a non-surgical vision correction method that helps improve clarity during the day and supports long-term eye comfort without the need for glasses or daytime contact lenses.
