Ortho-K overnight lenses in Bellflower
Orthokeratology (Ortho-K) uses custom overnight lenses to gently reshape the front of the eye, so you wake up seeing clearly without glasses.
Freedom from daytime glasses
Ortho-K lenses are worn only at night. While you sleep, they gently flatten the cornea. In the morning you take them out and enjoy clear vision through school, sports, swimming and work.
For children, Ortho-K has a second benefit: it’s one of the most effective ways to slow the progression of myopia. The effect is fully reversible: stop wearing the lenses and your eyes return to their original shape.

Frequently asked questions
Still have questions? Call (562) 867-4716.
Is Ortho-K safe?
Ortho-K is FDA-approved. Like any contact lens, it’s safe when lenses are cleaned and handled properly. That’s why we spend time teaching good habits and see you for regular follow-ups.
How quickly does it work?
Many people notice a big improvement after the first night, with full results usually within one to two weeks.
Is it permanent?
No. The effect lasts through the day and wears off if you stop wearing the lenses, which also means it’s fully reversible.
What age can kids start?
Many children can start in grade school, once they and their parents are comfortable with a nightly routine. We’ll help you decide if your child is ready.
Does insurance cover Ortho-K?
Ortho-K is usually an out-of-pocket specialty service. We’ll give you a clear quote at your consultation.
