Ortho-K: How to Help Your Child Ditch Daytime Glasses
May 19, 2025

Imagine your child waking up with clear vision — no glasses, no contacts, no hassle.
With Orthokeratology (Ortho-K), that’s exactly what’s possible.
Ortho-K lenses are custom-fitted, breathable contact lenses worn overnight. While your child sleeps, they gently reshape the surface of the eye. In the morning, the lenses come out — and your child can see clearly all day long.
Why Parents Choose Ortho-K in Toronto
At Spadina Optometry, we work with families across Toronto who want to:
- Free their kids from glasses or daytime contacts
- Reduce screen-time struggles caused by visual strain
- Take early action against worsening nearsightedness (myopia)
Ortho-K is one of the most effective myopia control options available, shown to reduce progression by up to 50% in growing children.
How Ortho-K Works (And Why It’s Safe)
Ortho-K lenses:
- Are worn while your child sleeps
- Gently reshape the cornea without surgery
- Provide clear, glasses-free vision all day
- Are completely reversible and non-invasive
With regular wear and follow-up care, your child can enjoy visual freedom — without giving up safety.
