What is Corneal Refractive Therapy?
At Art of Optiks, we offer a better way to see clearly without the constant need for glasses or daytime contacts. Corneal Refractive Therapy (CRT), also known as Ortho-K, uses custom-designed overnight lenses to gently reshape your cornea while you sleep. By morning, you’ll wake up with clearer, sharper vision — all without the hassle of traditional eyewear.
Ortho-K is the perfect solution for anyone seeking clear vision without surgery. Whether you’re a student, athlete, busy parent, or just tired of the daily struggle with glasses or contacts, this non-invasive treatment fits into your life with ease. It’s especially effective for managing myopia in children and teens, but adults also appreciate the flexibility it offers.
At Art of Optiks, we take a personalized approach to every treatment. Our experienced doctors use advanced technology to assess your eyes and create custom CRT lenses specifically designed for you. Your care will be comfortable, focused on long-term eye health, and tailored to your unique needs.
Children and Teenagers
If your child struggles with glasses or contacts that get in the way, Corneal Refractive Therapy (CRT) offers a convenient solution. This safe, non-surgical treatment works while your child sleeps, gently reshaping their corneas to provide clear, glasses-free vision by morning.
CRT not only improves vision, but it can also slow the progression of myopia, giving your child better long-term eye health. For active kids or athletes, it’s the perfect way to avoid the distractions of slipping glasses or dry contacts.
At Art of Optiks, we focus on providing individualized care for your child. Our team will ensure that their unique needs are met, guiding you through each step of the process.

Adults
When your days are filled with adventure, sports, or a demanding job, glasses and daytime contacts can be more of a hassle than a help. Corneal Refractive Therapy (CRT) offers a non-surgical solution that works while you sleep. Just wear the lenses overnight, and wake up with clear, hassle-free vision.
Whether you’re tackling rugged trails, hitting the slopes, or working in challenging environments, CRT eliminates the need for glasses and the discomfort of contact lenses.
If you deal with dry eyes or allergies from daytime lenses, CRT provides relief by only requiring lens wear at night, keeping your eyes comfortable throughout the day.
Your active life shouldn’t be interrupted by eyewear — and with CRT, it won’t be. Let us help you achieve the clarity and freedom you need to keep moving forward.
What to Expect
Once we confirm that Corneal Refractive Therapy (CRT) is the right option for you, we’ll start with corneal topography — a quick and comfortable procedure where we use advanced imaging to capture a detailed map of your cornea. This scan is crucial for creating a personalized lens design, taking just a few minutes to complete.
With this information, we’ll craft CRT lenses specifically for your eyes. In some cases, the treatment may involve a series of lenses to gradually shape the cornea for optimal vision.
Wearing the lenses overnight is a simple process. At first, you may notice the lenses slightly as you fall asleep, but most patients quickly adjust and forget they’re even there. Over time, you’ll experience clearer vision without the need for glasses or daytime contacts.
Benefits
At Art of Optiks, we know that Corneal Refractive Therapy (CRT) is more than just a way to improve your vision — it’s about simplifying your life. CRT provides an effective, non-surgical way to correct your vision while you sleep, so you wake up ready to tackle your day with clearer eyesight. No need for glasses or contacts during the day, and it’s a reversible solution if your needs change. It’s the perfect balance of convenience, comfort, and flexibility, giving you a seamless fit for your active lifestyle.
Improved Image Sharpness and Clarity
Corneal Refractive Therapy lenses work while you sleep, gently reshaping your corneas to smooth out irregularities. This gradual process allows light to enter your eyes more accurately, leading to clearer, sharper vision during the day — no glasses or daytime contacts necessary.
Instantaneous Effects
Corneal Refractive Therapy (CRT) offers a flexible solution, with many patients experiencing clearer vision after just one night of wearing Ortho-K lenses. However, the treatment is not permanent, giving you the option to discontinue at any time. Should you prefer, you can return to glasses or even consider LASIK as an alternative for long-term vision correction.
Feeling of Normalcy
Ortho-K lenses provide an effortless solution to clear vision. Just wear them overnight, and wake up with sharper sight, ready to tackle the day without the need for glasses or daytime contacts. It’s that simple — enjoy vision freedom while you sleep.
Enhanced Quality of Life
Corneal Refractive Therapy (CRT) offers a non-invasive solution to enhance your vision, giving you clear eyesight without the need for glasses or daytime contacts. Unlike permanent surgical procedures, CRT provides the flexibility to improve your vision while still allowing you to live an active lifestyle, all with minimal disruption and no long-term commitment.
Are You a Candidate?
During your eye exam, we’ll assess if Corneal Refractive Therapy (CRT) is the right fit for your vision needs. CRT is a great option for individuals who depend on glasses or contacts, especially those with active lifestyles or physically demanding jobs. Unlike LASIK, CRT offers temporary vision correction, giving you the flexibility to return to glasses or contacts whenever you choose.
