In most cases, nearsightedness is simply a minor inconvenience and poses little or no risk to the health of the eye, but sometimes myopia can be severe enough to be considered a degenerative condition.
We have a solution to nearsightedness! We are proud to offer the only true way to slow the progression of nearsightedness (myopia), with no more increased glasses prescriptions each year. Ortho-k is safe, incredibly effective and the best option for correcting nearsightedness in children and adults.
Eye Love Olympia fits specialty contact lenses that are designed to halt the progression of the condition in children and young adults. Call us to schedule a consultation to discuss your correction options with Eye Love Olympia today!
Myopia has on the rise in all populations across the globe as the most common eye refractive error in both children and adults.
Scientific evidence has proven that high amounts of nearsightedness are associated with glaucoma and other sight-threatening diseases. That is why at Eye Love Olympia we are trying to control myopia and limit the increase as much as possible.
Although there is no known cure for myopia some treatments and management strategies can help restore distance vision. Also known as “corneal reshaping lenses”, ortho-k contact lenses are specially designed gas permeable contacts that are worn only at night during sleep. Ortho-k has been shown to slow myopic progression in children by 36% – 56%.
These lenses work to temporarily reverse the effects of Myopia by reshaping the eyeball while you sleep, allowing the wearer to experience clear vision the following day. This pain-free process allows clear, corrected vision without the use of contacts or glasses throughout the day!
If you have questions or concerns about ortho-k, schedule an appointment with us today. We will be able to help you determine your candidacy, costs, benefits, and risks of the process.

My family has been patients of Dr. Hamblet’s for 8 years. She is incredible at personalized patient care. My son was having a hard time wearing glasses as a kindergartener and Dr. Hamblet suggested contacts. He now wears his contacts without struggle and loves seeing Dr. Hamblet. We are excited to continue to be Dr. Hamblet’s patients! We recommend Eye Love Olympia for the whole family!
