Ortho-K: How to Help Your Child Ditch Daytime Glasses

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.

Is Your Child a Good Candidate?

Ortho-K works best for children and teens with mild to moderate myopia.
A full consultation and corneal topography help us ensure a great fit.

Cost:

  • Lens fitting + all follow-up care: $1,500
  • Custom lenses: $500/pair
  • Covered by most vision plans
