An informational guide to Ortho-K in Barcelona, written for patients who want to understand whether overnight lenses might fit their case. Assessments available at Looptica (Poblenou) and Òptica CODE (Eixample).
Whether Ortho-K is suitable must be assessed through an individual optometric examination.
Orthokeratology (Ortho-K) uses rigid gas-permeable contact lenses worn during sleep. They temporarily and reversibly reshape the cornea so you can see clearly during the day without glasses or daytime contacts. The effect fades gradually if you stop wearing them.
→Children and teenagers with progressing myopia within a myopia-control strategy, athletes, professionals with long screen hours and active adults who want to reduce their dependence on glasses during the day.
→People with active eye infections, significant corneal conditions (keratoconus, dystrophies), severe dry eye, poorly controlled ocular allergies, or anyone unable to keep strict hygiene and attend follow-up visits.
→Serious complications are uncommon when guidelines are followed: hand washing, cleaning with recommended products, never tap water, respecting wear hours and attending check-ups. In case of pain, red eye or blurred vision, remove the lens and seek advice.
Optometric assessment → corneal topography → lens design or selection → handling and hygiene training → first night and initial adjustments → periodic follow-up over time.
→The cost depends on the assessment, lens design and manufacture, follow-up visits and possible replacements. It's not an off-the-shelf product: it's quoted case by case. The assessment lays out the options and the budget transparently.
