Correcting Your Vision Whilst Sleeping

So how does EyeDream work?


EyeDream is a form of Orthokeratology or Ortho-k, a contact lens that gently re-shapes the front of your eye (the cornea) while you sleep. Upon removing your lenses in the morning, the precise change in shape allows you to see with crisp, clear unaided vision. EyeDream flattens the eye by less than the width of a human hair, but the results can be life-changing.

EyeDream – a form of ortho-k (or orthokeratology) – corrects your vision while you sleep. Put your EyeDream lenses in before you go to sleep, take them out when you wake up, and enjoy the whole day with crisp, clear unaided vision. EyeDream is safe, non-invasive and 100% reversible.

Things to Consider with Orthokeratology

Orthokeratology, also known as ortho-k or corneal reshaping therapy, is a non-surgical method of temporarily correcting myopia (nearsightedness) and mild astigmatism using specially designed contact lenses. If you're interested in trying orthokeratology, here are some steps to consider:

  1. Consult with our Optometrist: We will assess your eye health, determine if you are a suitable candidate, and discuss potential risks and benefits.
  2. Understand the Process: Ask your eye optometrist to explain how orthokeratology works and what you can expect during the treatment process. Understand that ortho-k involves wearing specialized lenses overnight to gently reshape the cornea, providing temporary clear vision during the day.
  3. Evaluate Your Lifestyle: Consider if orthokeratology fits well with your lifestyle. Ortho-k is often beneficial for individuals who participate in sports, have active lifestyles, or have difficulty wearing traditional contact lenses or glasses.
  4. Follow the Instructions: If you decide to proceed with orthokeratology, carefully follow your eye care professional's instructions for lens wear, cleaning, and care. Compliance is essential to achieve the desired results and maintain eye health.
  5. Regular Follow-ups: Attend all scheduled follow-up appointments to monitor your progress and ensure that the lenses are fitting correctly and effectively. These appointments also allow your eye care professional to address any concerns or adjustments needed.
  6. Be Patient: Orthokeratology's effect on vision can take a few days to a few weeks to stabilize, so be patient during this period. If you experience any discomfort or visual issues, inform your eye care professional promptly.
  7. Maintain Eye Health: Continue with regular eye exams even while using orthokeratology lenses. Your eye care professional will monitor your eye health and make sure the lenses are not causing any adverse effects.
  8. Adhere to Safety Precautions: Always practice good hygiene and handle your orthokeratology lenses with clean hands to reduce the risk of eye infections.
  9. Consider Long-Term Options: While ortho-k can be a temporary solution for myopia, consider the long-term management of your vision. We can discuss other options, such as traditional glasses, contact lenses, or refractive surgery if necessary.

Remember that everyone's eyes are unique, and what works for one individual may not be suitable for another. The best course of action is to consult with a qualified eye care professional to determine if orthokeratology is a suitable option for your specific needs and eye health.
