sleepSEE for Adults

Wake Up to Clear Daytime Vision.
No Surgery. No Daytime Lenses.

If glasses or daytime contacts no longer fit your life—or your vision has changed since LASIK—the sleepSEE system uses doctor-directed Ortho-K lenses worn overnight to provide clear daytime vision. It is a nonsurgical option for adults who want to avoid LASIK and its surgery-specific risks.

Two Paths, One Solution

Which One Sounds Like You?

Adults come to sleepSEE for different reasons. Find your path below.

Lifestyle Freedom

Active Adults Who Want
Clear Vision

You don't want glasses. Daytime contacts are uncomfortable. And you're not ready — or willing — to have laser surgery. Sound familiar?

  • Tired of glasses fogging up, sliding down, or getting in the way
  • Soft contacts cause dryness, irritation, or discomfort
  • Active lifestyle — running, cycling, swimming, hiking, travel
  • Want a nonsurgical alternative to LASIK
  • Looking for reversible, nonsurgical vision correction
Vision Restoration

Post-LASIK or PRK
Regression

Your LASIK worked — for a while. Now your vision is getting blurry again, and you're wondering what your options are. You're not alone.

  • Had LASIK or PRK years ago, but vision has regressed
  • Told you can't have a second LASIK procedure
  • Nervous about going through laser surgery again
  • Want a nonsurgical option instead of another procedure
  • Looking for a reversible, nonsurgical option
Daytime Contact-Lens Comfort
No Daytime Lenses

Nothing sits on your eyes during the day.

Daytime contact lenses remain on the eye for hours. For some adults, that wear contributes to dryness, irritation, or discomfort.

sleepSEE lenses are worn overnight and removed in the morning. During the day, nothing sits on your eyes. Adults who struggle with daytime contact-lens discomfort can ask a provider whether overnight lens wear fits their needs.

How sleepSEE Restores
Clear Vision After LASIK

LASIK works by permanently reshaping the cornea with a laser. But over time, the cornea can gradually shift back — a process called regression. Here's how sleepSEE helps.

1

LASIK Reshapes the Cornea

During LASIK, a laser permanently removes corneal tissue to change its shape and correct your vision. For most people, this works well — at first.

2

Over Time, the Cornea Shifts Back

In some patients, the cornea gradually returns toward its pretreatment shape. This is called regression. Vision may become blurry again, and glasses, contacts, or another plan may be needed.

3

sleepSEE Re-Reshapes the Cornea — Gently

sleepSEE lenses create a temporary change in the cornea’s shape while you sleep. The fit is based on detailed corneal measurements and your prescription.

4

You Wake Up With Clear Vision

Remove the lenses in the morning. The vision effect is maintained through regular wear. If lens wear stops, the cornea gradually returns toward its pretreatment shape.

Before — Myopic Eye

In a myopic (nearsighted) eye, the cornea is too curved or the eye is too long. Light focuses in front of the retina instead of on it, causing distant objects to appear blurry.

During Sleep — Gentle Reshaping

The sleepSEE ortho-k lens sits on the eye during sleep, gently flattening the central cornea by just microns. The tear film beneath the lens creates hydraulic forces that safely reshape the epithelial layer.

After — Clear Vision

After overnight wear, the reshaped cornea now focuses light directly on the retina. You wake up, remove the lens, and see clearly all day — no glasses or daytime contacts needed.

Why Not Just Get LASIK Again?

Not everyone can. A second LASIK procedure requires enough remaining corneal tissue to safely remove more. Many patients are told they don't have enough.

Even if you can get a second LASIK, it comes with the same surgical risks — dry eye, halos, flap complications — plus a higher price tag.

sleepSEE offers a nonsurgical, reversible path to clear daytime vision.

Advanced Technology

Precision Equipment.
Expert Care.

sleepSEE providers use the most advanced diagnostic and treatment technology available to design and monitor your lenses with precision.

Corneal Topography

Creates a detailed 3D map of your corneal surface to design lenses that fit your unique eye shape with micron-level precision.

Wavefront Aberrometry

Measures how light travels through your entire optical system — identifying subtle imperfections that standard tests miss, for sharper vision outcomes.

Digital Retinal Imaging

High-resolution photos of the back of the eye help your provider monitor overall eye health and ensure your treatment is on track.

Honest Assessment

The Pros and Cons of sleepSEE for Adults

We believe in transparency. Here's an honest look at what sleepSEE does well — and what you should know before getting started.

The Pros

  • No surgery — no cutting or laser procedure
  • Reversible — if lens wear stops, the cornea gradually returns toward its pretreatment shape
  • No daytime lens wear — nothing sits on your eyes during the day
  • Can be considered after post-LASIK vision changes — provider evaluation is required
  • Replacement timing varies — lenses often last about 2 years with proper care
  • Supports active lifestyles by removing the need for daytime lenses after a successful fit

Things to Know

  • Requires consistent nightly wear — skipping nights means blurry vision the next day
  • Some prescriptions, corneal shapes, or eye-health conditions are not suitable
  • Vision can change during the early adaptation period
  • Requires an experienced ortho-k provider — not all eye doctors offer this
  • Program and replacement costs vary by provider
  • Vision may fluctuate slightly during the first week of adaptation

Every patient is different. The best way to know if sleepSEE is right for you is to talk with an experienced provider.
