Ortho-k for Athletes: Enhancing Performance and Vision

(913) 884-6800

Get the Edge with Ortho-k

Orthokeratology, commonly referred to as ortho-k, is not just a solution for managing myopia but also a groundbreaking vision enhancement technique for athletes. This revolutionary method, often referred to as "overnight vision correction," has become increasingly popular among athletes who seek clear vision without the encumbrance of eyeglasses or contact lenses on the sports field.

A Clear Vision of Athletic Success

Athletes rely on their vision for optimal performance. Whether you're an aspiring basketball player, a dedicated swimmer, or a passionate soccer player, you understand that clear and unobstructed vision is paramount in sports. The ability to track moving objects, maintain spatial awareness, and make precise judgments in a fraction of a second can be the difference between success and failure.

Ortho-k offers athletes a remarkable advantage. It works by gently reshaping the cornea while you sleep, temporarily correcting your vision. When you wake up, you'll enjoy crisp and clear vision throughout the day without visual aids. For athletes, this can make a world of difference. 


The Benefits of Ortho-k for Athletes

In recent years, contact lenses have emerged as a promising avenue for myopia control:

  • Improved Performance:

    Athletes often perform at their best when they feel completely in tune with their bodies. Ortho-k enables you to focus entirely on your sport without distractions or discomfort from eyeglasses or contact lenses.

  • Peripheral Vision

    Sports activities demand excellent peripheral vision. With the benefit of ortho-k, you can experience an expanded field of view, allowing you to react quickly to your surroundings and competitors.

  • Consistency

    One of the challenges athletes face is maintaining consistent performance. Ortho-k ensures you have the same crystal-clear vision every time you step onto the field, regardless of the circumstances.

  • Reduced Risk of Eyewear-Related Injuries

    Eyeglasses and traditional contact lenses can break or dislodge during physical activities, potentially leading to eye injuries. Ortho-k eliminates this risk, allowing athletes to focus on their performance.

I heard about how great this place was from a moms group on Facebook and they did not disappoint. M... y son is little and gets nervous at doctors appointments so I was anxious about how it would go and if he would ever want to come back. They were so patient with him and explained things to him and myself very clearly. Dr. Martinez was great with my child and even gave his little spider man toy an eye exam as well. They approached my child with genuine kindness and joy and I truly appreciate that. My son loved it so much he wanted to go get an eye kit toy for him when he was done. So very thankful that my son was able to have such a positive experience with them.

I have to say the doctors and staff here have honestly been incredible for me and my daughters. I ha... d an exam and then when I got my glasses, something was totally off. The doctor redid my exam and got me new lenses and contacts and was super great about it! My 2 year old was also seen and given a stronger RX which then caused an eye turn. We went and saw the pediatric ophthalmologist to make sure it wasn’t a medical problem and they gave her a new RX. Since we had just recently ordered new glasses for her from Insight, I sent them the new RX and they are taking care of getting her new lenses! Honestly, we will be back every year just because their customer service is incredible!! Thank you all so much for taking care of me and my family!
