Scleral lenses: Keratoconus, corneal transplant, corneal opacity, dry eyes.
CRT (Ortho-K) lenses, Misight: myopia control.

SCLERAL LENS

A specialized contact lens used to correct vision and manage a variety of eye conditions. This unique design makes the lens very comfortable to wear, all day long. These lenses eliminate blurred and distorted vision, promote healing of the ocular surface, and protect the cornea from surrounding environment and eyelids. Scleral lenses have several advantages over regular contacts including fit, comfort and improved visual acuity. Patients of all ages can wear scleral lenses.

Who is a candidate for Scleral Lenses- if you have any of the following eye conditions, scleral lenses may be an option for you.

Keratoconus – the thinning and bulging of the cornea
Corneal deformities following eye injury or eye surgeries like Lasik, RK, scars, opacity, and corneal transplant.
Dry Eye Symptoms
Nerve disorder of the eye
Presbyopia
Astigmatism
Contact Lens Intolerant
Normal to Highly Irregular Corneas

ORTHOKERATOLOGY LENS ( ORTHO-k)

Unlike traditional contact lenses, orthokeratology lenses are designed to be worn overnight rather than during the day. While you sleep, orthokeratology lenses gently and gradually reshape the surface of the eye, allowing you to see clearly without glasses or contact lenses during the day. Ortho-K approved for any ages. That means we can provide vision correction with Ortho-K lenses , without surgery, even for children.

Who is a candidate for Ortho-K lenses

Adults and children who want to be free from glasses or contact lenses. Also, adults who are not candidates for refractive surgery.
Athletes and people who want natural vision and sports, recreation or other activities.
Occupations that require unaided vision such as pilots and firefighters.
Professionals who work in hazardous or dusty conditions and require non-prescription protective eyewear.
People with allergies, dry eyes or other conditions that make contact lens use uncomfortable.
Children who are myopic (nearsighted). Consistent use of Ortho-K can slow or stop the progression of myopia.

How do Ortho-K lenses work

In the myopic (nearsighted) eye, light focuses in the front of the retina, rather than directly on the on the retina. This makes distant objects appear blurry. When daytime contacts or glasses are worn, light is focused on the retina so you can see clearly.

Ortho-K lenses correct myopia or nearsightness , with or without mild astigmatism by gently and safely reshaping the cornea while you sleep. When the Ortho-K lenses are removed in the morning, you will have clear, natural vision during your waking hours.

Child-friendly daily disposable contact lenses proven to slow the progression of nearsightedness or myopia in children aged 8 to 12 at the initiation of treatment.

What Is Myopia?

Many children have a condition called myopia, whose primary symptom is nearsightedness. The eyes of a child with myopia become longer over time, which causes distant objects to appear blurry. And, if it’s not addressed, myopia often worsens as your child gets older.²

Whether or not your child complains of not being able to see objects in the distance clearly – such as the board at the front of their classroom – they should have annual comprehensive eye exams to check for myopia and other eye conditions that may not have signs or symptoms.
