See Clearly. Sleep On It.
sleepSEE is a doctor-directed Ortho-K program that uses custom prescription lenses worn overnight to create a temporary corneal shape change. Eligible patients may have clearer daytime vision with less dependence on glasses or daytime 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 gently reshape your cornea while you sleep.
When you wake up, you remove the lenses and enjoy clear, natural vision all day long — without glasses, daytime contacts, or surgery.
"Think of it like a retainer for your eyes. Wear it at night, see clearly during the day."
The effect is temporary. If you stop wearing the lenses, the cornea gradually returns toward its pretreatment shape and the vision correction diminishes. Your provider can explain what to expect for your prescription.
Two Paths to Better Vision
sleepSEE serves children and adults with different vision goals.
For Children (Ages 6+)
Childhood myopia often progresses while the eyes are growing. For eligible children, sleepSEE combines overnight Ortho-K with individualized guidance and monitoring to manage that progression.
- Designed to slow myopia progression in eligible children
- No glasses during school, sports, or play
- Addresses progression linked with higher lifetime eye-health risks
- Supports glasses-free school, sports, and play
For Adults (Ages 18+)
Tired of glasses fogging up? Contacts drying out? Not ready for LASIK? sleepSEE gives you clear daytime vision without any of the hassles — and none of the surgical risks.
- Wake up seeing clearly — no morning routine
- Perfect for sports, swimming, active lifestyles
- No dry eyes from daytime contacts
- Temporary effect — the cornea returns toward its pretreatment shape if wear stops
Six Reasons Patients Choose sleepSEE
Nonsurgical
No lasers or incisions. The temporary corneal effect is maintained through regular overnight lens wear.
Prescription Care
Certain overnight Ortho-K lens systems are FDA-approved for the temporary reduction of nearsightedness.
Temporary Effect
If lens wear stops, the cornea gradually returns toward its pretreatment shape and vision correction diminishes.
Works Overnight
Wear your lenses while you sleep. Wake up, remove them, and see clearly all day.
Clear Daytime Vision
Eligible patients can have daytime vision without glasses or daytime contact lenses.
Myopia Management
For eligible children, overnight Ortho-K is designed to slow myopia progression. Individual outcomes vary.
