Orthokeratology is also known as night lenses, ortho-K, overnight vision correction, corneal refractive therapy, accelerated orthokeratology. The orthokeratology is the use of gas permeable contact lenses which temporarily reshape the cornea for reducing refractive errors such as myopia, hyperopia and astigmatism. Doctors discovered the reshaping phenomena of glass lenses in early 1940. This history of orthokeratology includes contribution made by multiple authors to the use of contact lenses for myopia reduction. Orthokeratology lenses gently flatten the cornea which allow light to enter and refract properly. Which ultimately gives better and clearer vision. Ortho-K has even been shown to slow down the progressive of myopia by an average of 50%.
