Ortoqueratología u Orto-K, es un tratamiento que realizamos en el Instituto Gallego de Cirugía Ocular para reducir la graduación y mejorar la visión.
Esto se consigue mediante unas lentillas especiales que modifican de forma programada la córnea mientras se duerme, durante el sueño, permitiendo una visión nítida durante todo el día sin necesidad de gafas ni lentillas diarias y, por supuesto, sin haberse sometido a ningún tipo de cirugía. Son lentes especialmente diseñadas para usar durante las horas de sueño.
"Mientras se duerme las lentes corrigen su miopía".
El principal objetivo de la Orto-k es ver libremente sin gafas ni lentes de contacto durante el día. Es un tratamiento ideal para:
Sí, las lentes de Orto-K están fabricadas en un material impermeable al oxígeno, lo que hace posible su uso nocturno con seguridad. Además gracias al uso de topógrafos corneales y la fabricación de lentes con diseños novedosos nos permite realizar este tratamiento de forma segura y eficaz.
Una aplicación muy interesante es en niños y jóvenes con miopía incipiente, además de beneficiarse de todas las ventajas anteriores, existen a día de hoy estudios que han probado una reducción en la progresión de la miopía.
Es un tratamiento que funciona muy bien en ametropías (miopía e hipermetropía) bajas y moderadas asociadas o no a astigmatismos bajos. Otras graduaciones superiores pueden ser corregidas dependiendo de las características corneales del paciente.
Existen diversos factores individuales que obligan a realizar una valoración de la viabilidad en cada caso.
