COSTS The initial costs of Orthokeratology are greater than those typically associated with traditional glasses and contact lenses but significantly less expensive than Lasik surgery. Since corneal molds can last for as long as three years, the ongoing cost of Orthokeratology is less than that of traditional contact lenses that need to be replaced much more frequently. Just think, you won’t need to incur the ongoing cost of backup glasses or continue to buy disposable soft lenses saving you $300 to $700 each year. Convenient and affordable interest free financing is available. TESTIMONIALS “Dr. Vergin suggested Ortho-k as an alternative as our daughter was needing new lenses almost every 6 months.

Orthokeratology or Ortho-K: Orthokeratology is the process of reshaping the eye with contact lenses. Wouldn’t it be great if your nearsightedness could be corrected while you sleep? It might sound farfetched, but it’s a reality for those who use Ortho-K. Here’s how it works: Ortho-K lenses work by gently reshaping the curvature of your eye with therapeutic contact lenses that you only wear during sleep. When you wake up, you remove the lenses and enjoy clear vision all day long. It’s that simple! The effect is temporary lasting one to three days, so you must wear the special lenses each night. Ortho-K, Not a New Idea: At New Vista Eyecare, we understand you might be skeptical since you probably have not heard much about Ortho-K. We are one of the few practices in Wisconsin specializing in this treatment. Ortho-K has been performed since 1962, but now space age technology has taken over. New materials available for mold design and the computerized instrumentation for mapping the cornea make this a precise treatment and much more successful than in the past. The FDA gave its approval in June, 2002. In the past, Ortho-K could take 3-6 months to complete. Now, with Wave Ortho-K lenses, most patients are 20/20 after their first night. Ortho-K Technology: The Scout topographer is the ONLY process in the world in which the unique topography of each patient’s eye is used as a template for a one-of-akind contact lens design. This is a painless digital picture of your eye that is much like a topographical map of the earth except this map shows the hills and valleys of each unique cornea. Dr. Vergin uses a Scout topographer to capture up to 14,000 unique data points of the cornea. This “fingerprint” is then used to design one-ofa-kind custom Ortho-K lenses. Then a CNC lathe precisely cuts the lens after the CAD/CAM process. Results are often immediate. Frequently, patients achieve excellent vision with their naked eyes after the first night of molding and within a few days most patients maintain clear vision for the entire day. The corneal change induced by molding slowly regresses in one to three days. This simply requires that the molds be reinserted at night for the patient to retain their optimal vision. Unlike Lasik, Orthokeratology is available to all age groups. Currently our youngest patient is 9 years old, Ortho-K could work for you! Call today for a FREE consultation! (A fee may apply for a complete eye exam only if one has not been performed in the last 6 months). Nearsightedness (myopia) and astigmatism, which cause light to focus in front of the retina, results in blurry vision. Ortho-K refocuses light on the retina to give you clear vision.

Clear eyesight when you awake at night or in the morning. Convenience and comfort of clear vision without glasses or daytime contact lenses. Research proves Ortho-K helps slow down or stop vision from progressively getting worse in children (LORIC study, CANDY study). Great for active children in sports like swimming, tennis, soccer, and active adults at work and play. You do not have to worry about eyewear/contact lens damage or loss when participating in sports. There are no more blind spots caused by frame or lens edges. Wear all the trendiest non-prescription fashion sunglasses. Lasik cannot be performed on children under 18 years of age and/or on eyes with an unstable refractive error. Orthokeratology can be performed in both of these cases. When an Orthokeratology patient turns “40 something” and would typically require bifocals, simple modifications in Orthokeratology design or wearing schedules can eliminate that handicap. Orthokeratology is about half the cost of laser vision correction. Also, many patients who are not good candidates for Lasik can be corrected with Ortho-K. Orthokeratology provides relief for most patients who have difficulty wearing contact lenses due to variable vision, dry eye, and astigmatism. Ortho-K frees the individual from the distractions caused by perspiration, dust, wind, weather and temperature. People in occupations that are hindered by the use of glasses or contacts may be good candidates for Ortho-K, e.g. pilots, policeman, firemen, trainers, athletes etc. Be sure to check with the regulations of your employer prior to undergoing Ortho-K.
