What Are the Benefits of Orthokeratology for Adults?

Orthokeratology (also known as Ortho-K) is often discussed in relation to children and myopia management, but adults in Los Angeles are increasingly discovering the unique benefits of this non-surgical vision correction option. Whether you're tired of glasses fogging up during your morning hike or you want freedom from contact lenses at work, Ortho-K could be the lifestyle upgrade you’ve been searching for.


Burning Eyes: Is It Dry Eye Syndrome or Something Else?
