Description

Specialties

Taking it beyond eye exams, glasses and contact lenses — in addition to providing comprehensive eye check-​ups for all ages, we find vision solutions to maximize each person’s lifestyle freedom.

Our Optometry practice has a special focus on Orthokeratology or ORTHO-​K. This is a reversible treatment where specialty rigid lenses are worn during the night time to correct your prescription so that in the day time comfortable, clear vision can be enjoyed without glasses or contact lenses.

ORHTO-​K was first used in the 1980’s, and the first FDA approval of overnight contact lens wear for temporary reduction of nearsightedness was granted in 2002.

In young patients with changing eyes and vision, ORTHO-​K can be a valuable tool to slow the progression of nearsightedness.

Another portal to freedom from glasses or contact lenses is Laser Vision Correction, such as LASIK. We offer LASIK and ORTHO-​K consultations free of charge, call today to book your appointment: 905−303−8868.
