Get the Edge with Ortho-k

Orthokeratology, commonly referred to as ortho-k, is not just a solution for managing myopia but also a groundbreaking vision enhancement technique for athletes. This revolutionary method, often referred to as "overnight vision correction," has become increasingly popular among athletes who seek clear vision without the encumbrance of eyeglasses or contact lenses on the sports field.

A Clear Vision of Athletic Success

Athletes rely on their vision for optimal performance. Whether you're an aspiring basketball player, a dedicated swimmer, or a passionate soccer player, you understand that clear and unobstructed vision is paramount in sports. The ability to track moving objects, maintain spatial awareness, and make precise judgments in a fraction of a second can be the difference between success and failure.

Ortho-k offers athletes a remarkable advantage. It works by gently reshaping the cornea while you sleep, temporarily correcting your vision. When you wake up, you'll enjoy crisp and clear vision throughout the day without visual aids. For athletes, this can make a world of difference. 


The Benefits of Ortho-k for Athletes

In recent years, contact lenses have emerged as a promising avenue for myopia control:

  • Improved Performance:

    Athletes often perform at their best when they feel completely in tune with their bodies. Ortho-k enables you to focus entirely on your sport without distractions or discomfort from eyeglasses or contact lenses.

  • Peripheral Vision

    Sports activities demand excellent peripheral vision. With the benefit of ortho-k, you can experience an expanded field of view, allowing you to react quickly to your surroundings and competitors.

  • Consistency

    One of the challenges athletes face is maintaining consistent performance. Ortho-k ensures you have the same crystal-clear vision every time you step onto the field, regardless of the circumstances.

  • Reduced Risk of Eyewear-Related Injuries

    Eyeglasses and traditional contact lenses can break or dislodge during physical activities, potentially leading to eye injuries. Ortho-k eliminates this risk, allowing athletes to focus on their performance.

Everyone was so nice to me from the minute I walked in the door! My nurse (I think her name was Kate... ?) Was so kind talking me through all the weird machines and explaining what each one did. My doctor, doctor Badger was quick and to the point but still kind. She did a good job explaining things in a way I could understand. But my favorite part was picking the glasses! I was already stressed before I got there thinking of what pair I wanted and how to pick a pair that would fit me. Bernice, was so sweet and kind and helped me pick a pair I loved. I appreciated her honesty when trying on pairs that wouldn’t go with my face.

~Great experience ~hard to find? I never saw any sign for Cascade Eye Care. I drove past their build... ing, saw 930 on a multi unit building. Parked my car. Right next to suite 930 was 1001?? across parking lot was 928?? ..there was no 950 anywhere......actually, it was behind where I parked, a stand alone beautiful brick building, I saw no numbers or name on building. Update: No one was rude. I knew before I went back my insurance would not cover, I was quoted an amount $. I was advised not to pay right then. The eye glass rep said frames start at 9.00 and I had lots of cost effective choices for lenses. My insurance authorized their portion of my visit before I left, and I was told my portion was $64.00. Paid and all done. No surprises, I knew before exam began my insurance would not cover all of visit. Nice employees here. I opted to do some price comparison checking around, before getting any new frames or lenses.
