Who Is A Good
Orthokeratology Candidate

Many factors make a patient a good orthokeratology candidate. Here is a list of some of the most common characteristics. The best way; however, to see if you or a loved one may be a candidate for orthokeratology is to schedule a free screening. At the free orthokeratology screening, we will look at your current prescription, talk to you about your goals and expectations, evaluate your eyes and discuss how the process works. We will, of course, make sure all of your questions are answered. You may also be able to try on one of the corneal molds.

You can schedule your free orthokeratology screening online today or call our office at 817.416.0333.
