Specialized Contact Lenses for

Keratoconus

Keratoconus is a progressive condition affecting the front window of the eye and the cornea. This disorder causes the cornea to thicken and bulge into a cone shape, resulting in significantly blurred or distorted vision that cannot be fully corrected with glasses because of the irregularity in the cornea's shape. Although the exact cause of keratoconus remains unknown, it may have a hereditary component and has also been associated with chronic eye rubbing and Down Syndrome.

Signs/Symptoms:

• Blurred or double vision
• Sensitivity to light and glare

Treatment

Specialized contact lenses, such as scleral or hybrid options, are designed to reshape the cornea effectively. For mild cases of keratoconus, glasses or soft contact lenses can often provide satisfactory correction. In more moderate instances, rigid gas permeable contact lenses are the preferred choice, as they create a smooth tear layer in front of the cornea, enabling clear vision. The rigidity of the lens allows tears to form a "liquid lens" that smooths out the cornea's irregularities, restoring clarity. As keratoconus advances, surgical intervention may be considered, particularly when the cornea shows signs of thinning or scarring. Achieve clear, stable vision—schedule an eye exam today.

Enhancing Colour Perception & Reading Fluency

ChromaGen Lenses

ChromaGen lenses are life-changing solutions for people with colour vision deficiencies or dyslexia, enhancing how they perceive colours and patterns.  By altering the wavelength of light entering both eyes, ChromaGen lenses help to balance the speed at which information travels along the neurological pathways in the brain. As a result, the lenses aid in improving colour discrimination but also supports overall visual processing, ultimately empowering users to engage more fully with the world around them.

For People Suffering With:

• Colour Blindness - difficulty distinguishing colours
• Dyslexia - visual processing disorder causing blurring, doubling or movement of words on page, which leads to struggles with reading or tracking lines of text

Treatment

We provide an easy survey to assess whether you could benefit from using ChromaGen lenses. Once approved, we will arrange an in-office examination to prescribe the appropriate ChromaGen lenses tailored to you. The lenses appear as a neutral gray and can be worn as contact lenses, eyeglasses, or we can integrate ChromaGen into your current prescription.

Experience the Freedom of Vision Without Glasses

Laser Eye Surgery

Laser eye surgery is a transformative option for those looking to reduce or eliminate their dependence on glasses or contact lenses. It uses advanced laser technology to reshape the cornea, correcting refractive errors such as nearsightedness (myopia), farsightedness (hyperopia), and astigmatism. It is suitable for those with stable prescriptions and good overall eye health, providing a quick and effective way to achieve clearer vision. The benefits of laser eye surgery are significant, with most patients achieving 20/20 vision or better, without the inconvenience of corrective eyewear. Results are typically long-lasting, offering years of improved vision with minimal changes as you age.

Types of Laser Eye Surgery:

There are several types of laser eye surgery, tailored to individual needs:

• LASIK (Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis): The most common procedure - involves a laser keratome creating a small flap in the corneal epithelial cells, which is then carefully lifted to reveal the cornea for reshaping.
• LASEK (Laser Epithelial Keratomileusis): Suitable for patients with thin or irregular corneas, the skin flap is cut away from the eye and placed back onto the cornea after it is reshaped.
• PRK (Photorefractive Keratectomy): Appropriate for thinner corneas, the skin flap is excised and discarded, allowing the eye to regenerate new epithelial cells within a few days.

What to Expect

Before the procedure, you'll undergo a thorough eye exam to assess your candidacy. On surgery day, your eyes are numbed to ensure comfort and the procedure takes about an hour and a half to complete. Most patients experience minimal discomfort. Your vision may be blurry immediately afterward, but improvements are noticeable within hours. Recovery is straightforward: patients rest their eyes for 24 hours and avoid strenuous activities, and dirty or wet environments (such as pools and saunas).  Prescribed eye drops help prevent dryness and infection, and follow-up appointments monitor healing progress. Most people resume work and daily routines within a few days, with full recovery in about a month.
