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.

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. 🌙✨

One of my young patients said the cutest thing:
“It doesn’t hurt as much after you try it a lot.” 🥹
He’s talking about OrthoK night lenses. They correct vision overnight and help slow down myopia. And once you get used to it? Easy peasy.

👓 Nearsightedness is the symptom.
🧠 Myopia is the diagnosis.
Only one of them raises the risk of retinal detachment, glaucoma, and other long-term eye conditions.
We help parents do more than just correct vision—we help slow myopia’s progression through proven treatments like Ortho-K and low-dose atropine.
Protect your child’s future vision, not just their glasses prescription.

This is an Ortho-K lens.
It’s worn overnight to gently reshape the eye and correct vision — no glasses during the day.
But here’s the real power: Ortho-K also slows myopia from getting worse.
At Clairemont Optometry Myopia Treatment Center, we specialize in this.
It’s personalized, evidence-based care for young eyes — and we’re proud of it.
