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.

Once I was able to get through, my care was amazing. Started leaving messages at 7 am all the way un... til 4 pm. I was about to try a different office when I got a call back at 5:30. She was very apologetic and didn’t understand why no one had called me. Probably a one time issue. Great care once I got in, which was the following day.

I have always had a great experience with Cascade Eye Care. This time it was for me and Dr Julia wen... t out of her way to make phone calls on my behalf, she really made me feel like she cared. I am very grateful to have all of them from the staff to the doctors, have been wonderful with all of my son's exams and his vision therapy, as well as my exams.

I’m 67 and I’ve worn glasses and/or contacts since I was 10. I have insurance which offers their... own eye care but instead, I choose to go to Cascade on my own dime for three main reasons: 1) Their equipment is top-notch & state-of-the-art, 2) I really like Dr. Bill who is kind, funny and efficient, and 3) They offer an excellent selection of frames and considerate service while picking out frames and getting the finished glasses fitted or repaired. Great place!
