Not all of these patients, however, are good candidates for LASIK surgery. If that describes you, don't fret -- because here at Villa Park Optometry, we offer an advanced corneal reshaping technique known as ortho-keratology, or Ortho-K. This non-surgical technique can produce changes to the way your cornea refracts light. Ortho-K also has the added benefit of reducing the increase in Myopia by up to 50% compared to traditional methods.
