Orthokeratology, also called ortho-K, is a common corrective treatment for people who are nearsighted or far-sighted. Read on to find out more! How does orthokeratology work? Orthokeratology works by gently reshaping the cornea (the clear front window of your eye) to correct nearsightedness or farsightedness.

Then you'll be fitted with the ortho-K lenses that you wear at night for several nights in a row.
