Clear Vision for Your Swimmer
NO GLASSES. NO CONTACTS.
NO PRESCRIPTION LENSES.
Give your child the freedom to swim, compete, and live actively with Ortho-K—overnight lenses that provide clear vision all day.
What is Ortho-K?
Orthokeratology (Ortho-K) uses custom-designed lenses worn overnight to gently reshape the eye while your child sleeps. In the morning, the lenses come out—and your child enjoys clear, natural vision all day long. Even better, Ortho-K has been shown to slow, and sometimes stop, the progression of nearsightedness (myopia) in children.
Why Swim Parents Love Ortho-K
NO CONTACTS IN THE WATER
Swimming with soft contacts can trap bacteria and chlorine, increasing the risk of serious eye infections.
Ortho-K eliminates that risk completely.
MORE COMFORT UNDER GOGGLES
No dryness. No shifting lenses. No irritation during long practices or meets.
BUILT FOR ACTIVE KIDS
Perfect for swimmers, athletes, and busy kids who don’t want to deal with glasses or daytime contacts.
NO LOST LENSES
MID-SWIM
No more worrying about contacts floating out during dives or flip turns.
