Ortho-K: Advanced Myopia Management
at Eye Q Optometrist
Led by Dr. Abraham Zlatin, our eye clinic is New York City’s trusted leader in orthokeratology (ortho-k). With over 20 years of experience in managing myopia and providing non-surgical vision correction, Dr. Zlatin has helped countless patients, particularly children, achieve clearer vision and slow the progression of myopia through this innovative treatment.
What is Ortho-K?
Advanced Orthokeratology (AOK) is the gold standard in myopia management, using custom-designed overnight vision retainers to gently reshape the cornea. These specialized molds provide clear daytime vision without the need for glasses or daytime contact lenses while also slowing myopia progression. At Eye Q Optometrist, we tailor each AOK mold for optimal comfort, precision, and long-term eye health.
Benefits of Ortho-K at Eye Q Optometrist
AOK is more than just vision correction—it’s a proactive approach to managing myopia and maintaining long-term eye health. Here’s what makes it a preferred choice for both children and adults:
Slows Myopia Progression – AOK is clinically proven to reduce the progression of nearsightedness, helping to lower the risk of future eye complications like retinal detachment and glaucoma.
Non-Surgical & Safe – Unlike LASIK, AOK is a non-invasive, reversible treatment, making it an ideal option for children and adults who want clear vision without surgery.
Freedom from Glasses & Daytime Lenses – AOK molds are worn overnight, reshaping the cornea while you sleep so you can enjoy clear, natural vision throughout the day without the hassle of glasses or contact lenses.
Designed for Active Lifestyles – With no need for daytime eyewear, AOK is perfect for kids in sports, professionals with busy schedules, and anyone who wants more visual freedom.
Customized for Maximum Comfort – At Eye Q Optometrist, every AOK mold is precision-designed for an exact fit, ensuring a comfortable, effective, and personalized treatment experience.
Whether you’re a parent looking for the best myopia control for your child or an adult seeking a non-surgical vision solution, AOK provides a safe, reliable, and proven way to see clearly.
