Can I have clear vision without wearing glasses or contacts during the day?
Yes! Talk to our Ortho-K specialists.
Orthokeratology, or Ortho-K, is a non-surgical method of re-shaping the cornea to correct nearsightedness and astigmatism. This is done by wearing a contact lens at night, while you sleep. This lens gently re-shapes your cornea as you're sleeping, allowing you to have clear vision without glasses or contacts during the day!
​
Ortho-K may be an excellent option for people who are not candidates for refractive laser surgery, or who simply don't want to wear glasses or contacts during their daily activities. If you play sports or if your work makes glasses or contacts unsafe, talk to our specialists about Ortho-K.
Are you suffering from dry, itchy or watery eyes?
We have solutions.
If traditional dry eye therapies have not succeeded to relieve signs and symptoms of severe dry eye, you may be a candidate for stem cell therapy.
​
Stem cell therapy involves using a contact lens made from amniotic membrane that contains bioactive compounds. Scientific studies support the efficacy of stem cell therapy for the following outcomes:
-
Reducing inflammation and pain
-
Stimulating regeneration of damaged tissue to increase healing
-
Protecting the ocular surface
​
If you are suffering from severe dry eye, stem cell therapy can help reduce pain, promote tissue regeneration, and enhance tear film stability.
