Wake Up to Clear Vision — Every Single Day
Here’s the thing about sleepSEE® — it’s not magic, but it feels like it. These are specially designed therapeutic lenses worn overnight that gently reshape the cornea while your child sleeps. Remove them in the morning, and they have crisp, clear vision all day long.
In my practice, I see a lot of kids who are frustrated by glasses slipping during sports, or teenagers who are self-conscious about how they look. sleepSEE® solves both problems — and does something glasses can never do: it actively slows the progression of myopia.

Clinical Evidence
Proven to Slow Myopia Progression
A 2023 study published in Optometry and Vision Science confirmed what we’ve seen in our Fayetteville practice for years: orthokeratology consistently reduces axial eye elongation — the root cause of myopia progression — by 43 to 64% compared to single-vision glasses.
This isn’t just about clearer vision today. It’s about protecting your child from high myopia complications — retinal detachment, glaucoma, and maculopathy — that become significantly more likely as prescriptions climb past -5.00 or -6.00.
