Jessica Morales (not her real name) sometimes had trouble reading the chalkboard at the local community college where she was a student. She decided that refractive surgery wasn't the right road for her, so she visited her optometrist and learned about a procedure called orthokeratology.

Orthokeratology has been around for approximately 40 years, but has recently been making a comeback. With the emergence of LASIK and new advances in lens design, Ortho-K is being offered as an alternative to refractive surgery.
