Understand what you’re paying for
What the Myopia Control program includes
Custom lens design and fitting
Lenses based on your child’s eye measurements. The fee includes fitting visits and needed lens remakes during the first 30 days of fitting.
Eye-length checks twice a year
Tracks eye length over time. This helps show whether myopia is getting worse.
Prescription checks twice a year
A refraction checks the glasses prescription. Dated repeat checks show how fast it changes. The doctor reads that trend alongside your child’s age and eye-length measurements. These tests answer different questions: how the eye focuses and how it grows.
Checks of focus and how the eyes work together
Checks focus and how both eyes work together. The doctor assesses any problems and explains whether they need separate care.
First-year program visits and follow-ups
Why Ortho-K costs vary between providers
- Prescription complexity
- Some eyes need more work to fit. Ask how your prescription and eye shape affect the price.
- Fitting and follow-up visits
- Your lenses may need adjustments during fitting. Check which fitting visits are included in the fee.
- What is bundled
- Some fees include a year of care. Others charge for visits, tests or new lenses on their own.
- Lens remakes
- Ask whether changes to the lens design during fitting cost extra.
- Clinical technology
- A corneal map shows the shape of the eye’s clear front surface. For children, the doctor may also measure eye length to track growth.
- Provider and region
- Prices differ between practices. Compare what the fee includes, the time involved and the provider’s experience.
What to ask when comparing program fees
Ask for a written list of what is included and what is billed separately:
- The first eye exam and maps of the eye.
- Lenses fitted to your eyes.
- Fitting and eye checks for the stated time.
- New lenses if the design needs a change.
- Later eye checks and any extra test fees.
Why myopia can progress
Myopia means nearsightedness, or blurry distance vision. It can get worse as a child grows. Family history, age, close-up work and time outdoors may all matter. An eye doctor can track these changes.
Frequently asked questions
Ortho-K cost questions
How much do Ortho-K lenses cost in the first year?
At the founding location, the $93 eye exam fee is credited if you enroll. The first-year prices are $2,400 for Nonsurgical Vision Correction (both eyes), $2,750 for Myopia Control / Management, and $2,950 for Post-LASIK/PRK. Nonsurgical Vision Correction is for adults and children who do not need myopia control. These are separate services. Replacement lenses are $245 per lens. Other providers set their own fees.
How long do sleepSEE lenses last?
At the founding location, a full lens pair is bought every two years. Damage or a change in fit may mean replacing a lens sooner. Ask your provider about your plan.
Do I have to pay the full program fee again after two years?
No. At the founding location, the annual exam after year one is $149. A full lens pair costs $490 and is bought every two years. One lens costs $245 if needed. Care supplies and services outside the program cost extra. Ask your provider for a written fee list.
Does insurance cover sleepSEE Ortho-K?
At the founding location, program fees are private pay. Insurance and TRICARE are not accepted for those fees. Ask about eligible HSA/FSA funds and financing. Other providers may have different payment options.
Is financing available?
The founding location offers financing through CareCredit. You must qualify for credit. Check the rates and terms before applying.
What if I am not an Ortho-K candidate?
The eye exam checks your vision, eye health and eye shape. The doctor also asks about your daily routine. If Ortho-K is not a fit, ask which other choices may help.
What happens if we don't do anything?
Myopia often gets worse while a child's eyes are growing. Higher myopia is linked to a greater chance of some eye problems later in life. The retina, the layer at the back of the eye, may pull loose. This is called retinal detachment. The macula, the center of the retina, may change. Other risks include glaucoma, which can harm the nerve for sight, and cataract, a cloudy lens inside the eye.
That link doesn't mean any one child will develop these problems, and myopia by itself rarely causes blindness. We'd rather you look into it yourself than take our word for it. These are good places to start:
