See Clearly. Sleep On It.
sleepSEE uses custom Ortho-K lenses worn during sleep and taken out in the morning. They change the shape of the cornea, the clear front of the eye. The goal is clearer daytime vision with less need for glasses or contacts.

Vision Correction That Works While You Sleep
sleepSEE is a doctor-directed Ortho-K program using orthokeratology (ortho-k): specially designed contact lenses worn only at night that change the shape of the clear front of your eye during sleep.
Take the lenses out in the morning. The goal is clear daytime vision without glasses or contacts. Your doctor checks how your eyes respond.
Wear the lenses at night. Take them out in the morning. Your doctor checks the fit and daytime vision.
The effect is temporary. If you stop wearing the lenses, your cornea returns toward its old shape and the vision effect wears off. Harm from an eye problem may not reverse. Ask your doctor what to expect.
Two Paths to Better Vision
sleepSEE serves children and adults with different vision goals.
For Children
Myopia means nearsightedness. It often gets worse as children grow. For children who are a good fit, sleepSEE uses overnight Ortho-K and regular eye checks to help slow that change.
- The goal is to slow worsening myopia in children who are a fit.
- The goal: school, sports and play without daytime glasses
- Tracks eye growth linked to worsening myopia and future eye-health risks
- The goal is clear vision for school, sports and play without daytime lenses.
For Adults (Ages 18+)
Tired of glasses fogging up? Contacts drying out? Not ready for LASIK? sleepSEE offers a way to improve daytime vision without surgery. Your doctor can help you weigh overnight lens care against the options you use now.
- Lenses out in the morning; daytime vision is the goal
- Daytime lens freedom for sports and active days
- No daytime lens wear; dry eye still needs assessment
- Temporary effect: the shape change wears off when lens wear stops
