(314) 842-5858

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.

Dr. Kyle and his staff at this location are the best! They're so helpful, friendly and knowledgeable... . They go beyond just taking care of my vision needs. They truly show that they care about my eye health as if I was a family member. Never going anywhere else.

Fantastic service from entire staff, all the way from booking the appointments over the phone for my... family of four to my husband having to go back in this afternoon to have his lense material changed, and they threw in $50 off for the inconvenience without my husband even asking. All staff were friendly and accommodating at all of our appointments! We look forward to working with them in the future!

Wonderful team! I always get the best service each and every time I come in. I commute almost 40 min... utes to this particular location, Tesson Ferry, because of their staff and because they are literally the only ones who can get my glasses just the way I need them. I’ve been to other places and will continue to come back, even though they are out of network because they get the lens right every time. Thank you Tesson Ferry Crown Vision! You guys are the best and I hope you guys don’t retire anytime soon because you all are so genuinely nice, funny, and put so much care into my glasses.

The Crown Vision Center staff is truly amazing, ESPECIALLY JENNIFER!!! She takes the time to answer ... all my questions, clearly explains each fee and gives feedback on which frames work best with my face structure. I have a hard time selecting glasses and she is always patient with me. I love my glasses and get compliments often. I would recommend this location to all my friends and family 🙂
