Orthokeratology, also called Ortho-K or overnight vision correction, is the use of specially designed gas permeable contact lenses that temporarily reshape the cornea in order to reduce refractive errors such as myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism. The lenses are typically worn overnight and removed during the day, and the corrective effect on the cornea's shape is temporary, so the reshaping must be maintained with continued lens use.
