Hyperopic ortho-K for early presbyopia
Extending depth of focus to keep near vision in range.
Presbyopia shrinks your focusing range
Part 06 · 01- 01
From your 40s, near focus fades
The eye’s natural lens stiffens, so reading becomes harder, especially in dim light.
- 02
Depth of focus fills the gap
The wider the range that looks acceptably sharp, the less you rely on focusing.
- 03
Hyperopic ortho-K extends that range
It reshapes the front of the cornea to spread focus over a range rather than a single point.
How it works
Part 06 · 02The reverse of myopic ortho-K
The central cornea is made slightly steeper rather than flatter.
A gradual change across the pupil
The new corneal profile creates a range of focus instead of one sharp point.
Near tasks come into range
Phone screens, menus and labels become easier without reaching for readers.
Lens-free by day
Lenses are worn overnight, like all ortho-K.
Is it right for you?
Part 06 · 03Early presbyopia
Usually best in your 40s to early 50s, when near focus has started to slip.
Little or no distance prescription
Low hyperopia or no glasses for distance tends to suit best.
Realistic expectations
It reduces reliance on readers for everyday tasks; long, fine reading in dim light may still need them.
In summary
Part 06- 01Presbyopia narrows the range of clear focus.
- 02Hyperopic ortho-K extends depth of focus overnight.
- 03Best suited to early presbyopia with realistic expectations.
