One of our main goals is providing annual vision examinations in order to follow vision development, detect early signs of eye and systemic diseases and intervene to prevent vision loss. This type of vision care is possible when patients commit to continuous and regular care with the same doctors.
Our offices provide expert optical services, including on-site finishing of prescription glasses. We are mindful of our patients' optical needs and desires when choosing our frames. Most importantly, our optical staff excels at recommending the proper lens and frame to meet the patient's visual needs.
Recent studies suggest that Ortho K is a better treatment for slowing the progression and maintaining the shape of the eye than wearing multifocal eyeglasses. Many patients also enjoy having clear vision without having to wear any type of lens throughout the day. They can go swimming, wear regular non-prescription sunglasses, and avoid the change in their appearance offered by glasses.
Other studies even suggest that using Ortho K lenses offers greater long-term benefits than utilizing the atropine eye drops. This means that orthokeratology may be the best option to slow the progression of myopia, and comes with the least effects to your daily routine.
Orthokeratology also offers one of the most cost-efficient approaches to controlling myopia, when you consider the long-term treatment and replacement costs. General two lens Ortho K lenses run between $900 and $1800 depending on your specific needs.
