Treatable Conditions

Orthokeratology: Orthokeratology, also known as Dreamlens, is a process that uses specially designed contact lenses to temporarily reshape the cornea. This process helps to reduce myopia, or nearsightedness, in individuals.

Keratoconus: Keratoconus is an eye disease that changes the shape of the cornea from the normal round shape to a bulging, cone-line shape. The new shape of the cornea causes distorted and blurry vision because the cone-shape bring light rays out of focus.

Dry Eyes: Dry eye syndrome is a condition in which a person’s tears do not have adequate lubricant or moisture to nourish the eyes. Tears help maintain the health of the front surface of the eye and to provide clear vision.

Dry eye is a chronic condition that can be present among all ages; however, it is more commonly seen among adults over the age of 60. Dry eye is usually self-diagnosable where an individual’s eye(s) may become red, inflamed, and of course, dry. An individual may also experience sensitivity to light and scarring to the front surface of the eye.
