Experience Life Without Glasses:
The Priceless Benefits of Ortho-K Technology!
How does
Orthokeratology work?
LENSES THAT WORK WHEN YOU AREN’T WEARING THEM
Your custom-designed EyeSpace Forge Ortho-K contact lens reshapes the front surface of the eye while you sleep. It uses the forces of the eyelid and tear fluid beneath the lens to reshape the top layers of the cornea1.
For the treatment of myopia, the lens produces a flatter central cornea, correcting nearsightedness by decreasing the power of the eye. For hyperopia and presbyopia, the design of the lens steepens the central cornea, correcting long-sightedness by increasing the power of the eye 2,3,4,5,6.
IMMEDIATE IMPROVEMENT
Improvements in vision can usually be seen the next day, with the procedure stabilizing after a week. With high myopia over -6.00D, astigmatism and hyperopia the process can take two to four weeks to achieve full correction. Ortho-K does not permanently change the shape of the eye.
Your eyes’ shape will revert back to their original state within one to four weeks if you stop wearing the lenses7.
COMFORT AND SAFETY
Forge Ortho-K lenses are surprisingly comfortable to wear. Most people comment that they forget they have lenses in after the first week of wear. Similar to disposable soft contact lenses, the main adverse event associated with Ortho-K corneal reshaping therapy is an infection of the cornea, microbial keratitis8.
With proper care and maintenance, the risk of inflammation and bacterial infections due to poor hygiene can be minimized.

Who can benefit from Ortho-K?
Ortho-K holds particular appeal for certain groups of people:
PEOPLE WHO PLAY SPORTS
You can enjoy the freedom of playing sports without worrying about your glasses getting damaged or your contact lenses falling out. Ortho-K lenses are only worn at night while you sleep, leaving you with perfect vision during the day on the sports field, court or in the swimming pool.
PEOPLE WORKING IN DUSTY OR DIRTY ENVIRONMENTS
Dusty or dirty environments can play havoc with contact lenses and glasses. If you’re a tradesman who needs to squeeze into tight spaces or work in dusty work conditions, Forge Ortho-K lenses will allow you to see clearly and get on with the job.
PEOPLE WITH DRY EYES OR ALLERGIES
Forge Ortho-K lenses are great if you suffer from allergies or dry eyes and work long hours on the computer or in air-conditioned environments.
CHILDREN WITH PROGRESSIVE MYOPIA
Forge Ortho-K lenses are an excellent option for children with progressive myopia (short-sightedness). Orthokeratology is scientifically proven to dramatically slow, or potentially halt the progression of myopia and can have a positive impact on the long-term health of your child’s eye9. Wearing Forge Ortho-K lenses only at night gives kids the freedom to run around, play sports and wear fashion sunglasses during the day without worrying about their glasses or contact lenses in the eye.
