Orthokeratology/GVSS (gentle vision shaping system) is a way to see clearly without glasses or surgery and in children can slow down the progression of the nearsightedness. Orthok/GVSS uses a retainer to reshape the front surface of the eye to eliminate or reduce nearsightedness or astigmatism during waking hours. GVSS vision retainers are similar to contact lenses and are usually worn during sleep. They are removed when you wake up and provide clear vision without using glasses or contact lenses. GVSS uses FDA approved materials and is a safe and effective option for both children and adults.
