Arise Ortho-K System: Lenses for Myopia Management

Clear vision by day. Myopia control by night. Arise™ Ortho-K night lenses are an FDA-cleared, non-surgical option for correcting vision and managing myopia progression in children. These custom lenses are worn while your child sleeps, gently reshaping the front of the eye so they can see clearly during the day without glasses or daytime contact lenses.

How Arise™ Ortho-K Works

• Overnight wear: Lenses are worn during sleep and removed in the morning.
• Clear daytime vision: Vision remains corrected for most or all waking hours.
• Gentle corneal reshaping: The lenses temporarily reshape the cornea so light focuses properly on the retina.
• No daytime eyewear: Many children can attend school, play sports, and participate in activities without glasses or contacts.

Why Managing Myopia Matters

As myopia progresses, the eye continues to lengthen, increasing the risk of future eye conditions such as retinal detachment, glaucoma, and macular degeneration. Slowing myopia progression during childhood can help protect long-term eye health.

Arise™ Ortho-K is one of several evidence-based options used in Myopia Management to help reduce the rate of progression of nearsightedness.

Why Parents Choose Arise™ Ortho-K

• Supports myopia management: Helps slow progression while correcting vision.
• Freedom during the day: Ideal for active children who prefer not to wear glasses.
• Non-surgical and reversible: If treatment is discontinued, the eye gradually returns to its original shape.
• Established treatment approach: Ortho-K has been used worldwide for years under professional supervision.

What to Expect

• Initial evaluation: A comprehensive pediatric eye exam determines candidacy.
• Early results: Many children notice improved vision within the first few days.
• Adjustment period: Most adapt comfortably within the first week.
• Follow-up care: Typically 3–4 visits in the first month, with ongoing monitoring as your child grows.
