VST, also known as accelerated orthokeratology, is a non-surgical treatment method designed to reduce nearsightedness (myopia) and/or astigmatism. The process involves wearing specially designed "reverse geometry" gas permeable contact lenses overnight. These lenses are designed to reshape the curvature of the cornea in order to provide optimal unaided distance vision during waking hours. VST is temporary and reversible. The VST contact lenses need to be worn as a "retainer" for limited periods of time (while sleeping) in order to maintain the therapeutic effect.

This is a great alternative for kids/teens in sports who currently wear soft contact lenses or glasses. No more contact lens irritation, replacement of lenses or worries about broken glasses!

Ortho-k works best for people who don't want to wear glasses or contact lenses all day, every day and don't mind wearing contact lenses at night.
