New 2025 study (BMC Ophthalmology, DOI: 10.1186/s12886-025-04265-8) shows:
👉 Kids in OrthoK do better when follow-ups are regular.
👉 Axial length, not just prescription, shows if myopia is really under control.
Follow-up = better future vision.
J has been wearing OrthoK for 20+ years. The crazy part? Just one eye, once a week — and he still sees clearly all week.
OrthoK = overnight lens that reshapes the eye while you sleep. Works for kids and adults at any age. Great option if you don’t like glasses or LASIK.
Happy International Dog Day!
Dogs can smell cancer, diabetes, even Parkinson’s.
But myopia? Nope.
That’s something only your eye doctor can catch—not even a German Shepherd owned by one. 😄

Smaller optic zones in OrthoK (5.0 mm) may slow axial growth better than standard 6.0 mm. New study supports what many of us already see in clinic—you don’t always need custom designs to apply this. Past research hinted at it, this trial adds weight.

This was his first eye exam ever.
He goes, “Man… it’s like going from analog TV to HD.”
We laughed. I’ll never get tired of moments like this.

What do Vuity (a drop for presbyopia aka near vision loss) and Ortho-K night lenses for myopia have in common?
Turns out—they can both help with glare and halos at night.
Sometimes I adjust the OrthoK lens design.
Other times, I use Vuity to shrink the pupil by 1–2mm.
Different tools, same goal: clearer night vision. 🌙✨

👁️ Every eye is a little universe👁️
I see it all—the pupil, the iris, all the tiny patterns that make each eye unique.
Kids don’t always say when they can’t see well. That’s why I always recommend getting their eyes checked before school starts.
Clear vision = better learning.
Simple as that.
