Question 1

Is sleepSEE® the same as Ortho-K?

Accepted Answer

No. Ortho-K is one part of the sleepSEE® doctor-directed program. For children, the care plan may also consider age, family history, visual habits, outdoor time, focusing, and eye teaming. The eye doctor evaluates each factor on its own clinical merits and monitors the child over time.

Question 2

How does sleepSEE® differ from other Ortho-K lenses?

Accepted Answer

The sleepSEE® system combines the art and science of Orthokeratology, Vision Therapy, and Environmental modifications to not only correct your vision, but more importantly control the progression of myopia in children. Years of experience and research have shown that vision is strongly determined not only by genetics, but also in large part by the environment — how a person uses their eyes day-to-day.

Question 3

What is the age limit for sleepSEE®?

Accepted Answer

There is no single right age. Candidacy depends on prescription, corneal measurements, eye health, maturity, and the ability to follow the care routine. A participating eye doctor evaluates each child individually.

Question 4

What is the process for signing up?

Accepted Answer

The first step is to determine if you are a good candidate for sleepSEE® non-surgical vision correction. This involves scheduling a one-on-one consultation with a sleepSEE®-certified eye care provider. Note: Please discontinue soft contact lens wear at least two weeks prior to your consultation. If you are wearing rigid gas permeable (RGP) lenses, please discontinue lens wear at least four weeks prior.

Question 5

Will sleepSEE® permanently correct my vision?

Accepted Answer

No. Ortho-K provides temporary vision correction. If lens wear stops, the cornea gradually returns toward its pretreatment shape and the vision correction diminishes.

Question 6

How many hours per night do I need to wear the lenses?

Accepted Answer

Follow the nightly wear schedule prescribed by your eye doctor. Wear time and visual response vary, so scheduled follow-up is important.

Question 7

How long do sleepSEE® lenses last?

Accepted Answer

With proper care, sleepSEE® lenses typically last 1–2 years before needing replacement. Your provider will monitor lens condition at regular follow-up visits and advise when replacement is appropriate.

Question 8

Does insurance cover sleepSEE®?

Accepted Answer

sleepSEE® is a private-pay program — insurance and TRICARE are not accepted for program fees. HSA/FSA funds may be used for eligible expenses, and CareCredit financing is available.

Question 9

What is the 30-Day Satisfaction Promise?

Accepted Answer

If satisfactory vision cannot be achieved, you may request a refund within 30 days of your insertion-and-removal (I&R) training. The refund is 70% of the program fee after the $93 evaluation fee is deducted — approximately $1,615 on the $2,400 program. You must complete I&R training within 60 days of paying your program fee. If you do not, the promise is void and the full amount — program fee and evaluation fee — becomes non-refundable. Satisfactory vision is determined by clinical evaluation with your doctor.

Question 10

How does sleepSEE® differ from LASIK for adults?

Accepted Answer

LASIK is a surgical procedure that permanently changes corneal tissue. sleepSEE® uses prescription lenses worn overnight to temporarily reshape the cornea, and the lenses are removed in the morning. Eligibility, costs, risks, and expected results differ, so an eye doctor should evaluate which options are appropriate.

Question 11

Will sleepSEE® work if I already had LASIK surgery?

Accepted Answer

Post-surgical corneas require an individualized evaluation. A participating provider can review your eye health, corneal measurements, and vision needs to determine whether specialty-lens care may be appropriate.

Question 12

What if sleepSEE® doesn't work for me?

Accepted Answer

If satisfactory vision cannot be achieved, you may request a refund within 30 days of your insertion-and-removal (I&R) training. The refund is 70% of the program fee after the $93 evaluation fee is deducted — approximately $1,615 on the $2,400 program. You must complete I&R training within 60 days of paying your program fee. If you do not, the promise is void and the full amount — program fee and evaluation fee — becomes non-refundable. Satisfactory vision is determined by clinical evaluation with your doctor.

Question 13

What is the 30-Day Satisfaction Promise?

Accepted Answer

If satisfactory vision cannot be achieved, you may request a refund within 30 days of your insertion-and-removal (I&R) training. The refund is 70% of the program fee after the $93 evaluation fee is deducted — approximately $1,615 on the $2,400 program. You must complete I&R training within 60 days of paying your program fee. If you do not, the promise is void and the full amount — program fee and evaluation fee — becomes non-refundable. Satisfactory vision is determined by clinical evaluation with your doctor.

Question 14

Do I have to pay $2,400 again after two years?

Accepted Answer

No. The $2,400 covers your first year in the program. After that, replacement lenses are approximately $200 per lens when they're due — typically up to every two years with proper care — plus routine visits.
