Your Journey to Clear Vision
Four steps take you from your first eye exam to your new lens routine.
Request a Consultation
Start with an eye exam. A sleepSEE doctor checks your vision, eye health and corneal shape to see whether Ortho-K is a good fit.
Custom Lens Design
Your doctor uses a map of your cornea and your prescription to design your sleepSEE lenses.
Wear at Night
Wear your sleepSEE lenses overnight on the schedule your doctor gives you. You may notice how they feel while you’re getting used to them.
Wake Up & See
Take out the lenses in the morning. The goal is clear daytime vision with less need for glasses or contacts. For children, Ortho-K can also help slow worsening nearsightedness.
Your Vision Timeline
The time needed for clear daytime vision varies. Your doctor checks the response during the first days and weeks.

Getting Started
You may feel the lenses at first. Follow the wear plan and use backup glasses if your doctor advises them.
Response Review
Your doctor checks vision, fit and eye maps. The plan can change if needed.
Daytime Vision
The time needed for clear daytime vision depends on your eyes, lens fit and wear routine.
Care Plan Confirmed
Your doctor checks progress. Ask when to wear the lenses and come back.
Monitoring
Keep wearing the lenses as prescribed and attend checkups. Your doctor checks your vision, lens fit and eye health.
