Ortho-k for Athletes: Enhancing Performance and Vision

(651) 454-5661

Get the Edge with Ortho-k

Orthokeratology, commonly referred to as ortho-k, is not just a solution for managing myopia but also a groundbreaking vision enhancement technique for athletes. This revolutionary method, often referred to as "overnight vision correction," has become increasingly popular among athletes who seek clear vision without the encumbrance of eyeglasses or contact lenses on the sports field.

A Clear Vision of Athletic Success

Athletes rely on their vision for optimal performance. Whether you're an aspiring basketball player, a dedicated swimmer, or a passionate soccer player, you understand that clear and unobstructed vision is paramount in sports. The ability to track moving objects, maintain spatial awareness, and make precise judgments in a fraction of a second can be the difference between success and failure.

Ortho-k offers athletes a remarkable advantage. It works by gently reshaping the cornea while you sleep, temporarily correcting your vision. When you wake up, you'll enjoy crisp and clear vision throughout the day without visual aids. For athletes, this can make a world of difference. 


The Benefits of Ortho-k for Athletes

In recent years, contact lenses have emerged as a promising avenue for myopia control:

  • Improved Performance:

    Athletes often perform at their best when they feel completely in tune with their bodies. Ortho-k enables you to focus entirely on your sport without distractions or discomfort from eyeglasses or contact lenses.

  • Peripheral Vision

    Sports activities demand excellent peripheral vision. With the benefit of ortho-k, you can experience an expanded field of view, allowing you to react quickly to your surroundings and competitors.

  • Consistency

    One of the challenges athletes face is maintaining consistent performance. Ortho-k ensures you have the same crystal-clear vision every time you step onto the field, regardless of the circumstances.

  • Reduced Risk of Eyewear-Related Injuries

    Eyeglasses and traditional contact lenses can break or dislodge during physical activities, potentially leading to eye injuries. Ortho-k eliminates this risk, allowing athletes to focus on their performance.

Went to this clinic today November 12, 2024 to see if they would do a "fitting" of my new glasses th... at I received today thru USPS that the VA sends me each year after my eye exam. I figured to try this route instead of going to the Minneapolis VA hospital to have the glasses fitted trying to save gas money. The VA told me clinics like this one would do fittings either for free or charge a small fee to veterans. This clinic doesn't charge a fee. 🙂 With that said. Once I entered the clinic was greeted by a nice young lady. This place had a few customers at the time, but I waited my turn and as a military retiree has time to "kill". Lol. Anywho, I waited maybe 20 mins for someone to fit my glasses. They did a good job at it and my glasses fit nicely on my face. The young lady who did the fitting told me that they give a 30% military discount for cutting lens, and frame purchases which would come in handy. As the VA only gives out one pair of glasses each year. So, in essence if I break, lose, etc. these glasses then I must pay out of pocket for another pair. I asked her if they would establish a record at their business for future needs. All in all the experience was nice and professional felt welcomed as well. Would recommend to fellow veterans.

I've been a long-term patient from probably 2017, and I am constantly impressed by the team. Dr. Sto... ut is an amazing doctor and easy to work with. He's informative and professional. All of the front desk staff and the practice manager are friendly and personable. They are straightforward with prices/costs. Every time I come, I know what to expect, and it is always a smooth process. Keep up the good work! It's amazing how much this clinic has improved and the transformation it took.

I’ve had both medicaid and insurance through employers and, very often, medicaid patients are made... to feel less valued. But this is NOT the case with Dr Stout and his staff. Their care and attention was very genuine. I’d highly recommend them
