LASIK vs. Ortho-K

Benefits of Ortho-K vs. LASIK

The staff at Brooks Eye Center is a regional authority on the non-surgical LASIK alternative procedure called Ortho-K, short for orthokeratology.  Ortho-K offers similar results and benefits that the LASIK surgical procedure offers, but many prefer the alternative because:

• Ortho-K is non-surgical
• Ortho-K is even FDA-approved for children 
• Ortho-K creates favorable results while you sleep
• Ortho-K is traditionally less expensive than LASIK
• Ortho-K is a better option if you suffer from dry eyes, a condition that may get worse with LASIK
• Ortho-K is completely reversible, unlike the LASIK surgical procedure
