(419) 678-8800

Get the Edge with Ortho-k

Orthokeratology, commonly referred to as ortho-k, is not just a solution for managing myopia but also a groundbreaking vision enhancement technique for athletes. This revolutionary method, often referred to as "overnight vision correction," has become increasingly popular among athletes who seek clear vision without the encumbrance of eyeglasses or contact lenses on the sports field.

A Clear Vision of Athletic Success

Athletes rely on their vision for optimal performance. Whether you're an aspiring basketball player, a dedicated swimmer, or a passionate soccer player, you understand that clear and unobstructed vision is paramount in sports. The ability to track moving objects, maintain spatial awareness, and make precise judgments in a fraction of a second can be the difference between success and failure.

Ortho-k offers athletes a remarkable advantage. It works by gently reshaping the cornea while you sleep, temporarily correcting your vision. When you wake up, you'll enjoy crisp and clear vision throughout the day without visual aids. For athletes, this can make a world of difference. 


The Benefits of Ortho-k for Athletes

In recent years, contact lenses have emerged as a promising avenue for myopia control:

  • Improved Performance:

    Athletes often perform at their best when they feel completely in tune with their bodies. Ortho-k enables you to focus entirely on your sport without distractions or discomfort from eyeglasses or contact lenses.

  • Peripheral Vision

    Sports activities demand excellent peripheral vision. With the benefit of ortho-k, you can experience an expanded field of view, allowing you to react quickly to your surroundings and competitors.

  • Consistency

    One of the challenges athletes face is maintaining consistent performance. Ortho-k ensures you have the same crystal-clear vision every time you step onto the field, regardless of the circumstances.

  • Reduced Risk of Eyewear-Related Injuries

    Eyeglasses and traditional contact lenses can break or dislodge during physical activities, potentially leading to eye injuries. Ortho-k eliminates this risk, allowing athletes to focus on their performance.

I just started going to Fishbaugh’s a year ago and have been treated very well. I have been in and... out of many eye doctor’s offices and have seen many eye care providers during my life due to my high prescription. However, I see myself continuing to stay and get treated at Fishbaugh’s. From my experience the doctors here also are very well trained in their practice and the hold their practice and care to the highest priority. The staff is very friendly and quick to making sure the needs of the patient are taken care of. Highly recommend going to Fishbaugh Family Eye care to take care of your vision.

I have been coming to this eyecare facility for several years. Recently I had an emergent eye issue... that was incredibly stressful, they were able to work me in the same day with no question. The staff and providers are incredibly kind and knowledgeable. I have never had a more comprehensive eye exam, and would not hesitate to recommend their office for any and all eyecare needs.

They actually told me to come in quick, even tho they were going to be closing soon , and I’m so grateful and appreciative for it. I have been going here for years and love it! I have never had problems with getting in and they have great customer service. Definitely would recommend to anyone! I think they have a great team and I just wanted to thank them!

The doctor and staff are very compassionate and caring. They do everything they can to accommodate a... patient's schedule. They are very professional and knowledgeable. They take time to explain things thoroughly. The facility is very up-to-date, modern and clean. It is well worth the drive from St Mary's.

The experience every time I am at Fishbaugh Eye Care is pleasant. They make it a personal experience... . They never have a wait and they personally have staff to help you through every step by step process of picking out glasses, etc. Now the Doctors, Dr. Fishbaugh is the best eye doctor I have ever been to. He is thorough, works great with adults and children and his doctors that work with him are also great (which always makes me nervous if you can't see your main doctor, but they are great too). If you want quality eye care and the comfort of knowing that the doctor is actually caring about you, go to Fishbaugh Eye Care Also, the drive is worth it even if you aren't in St. Henry IMO
