Introduction to Wavefront Guided Scleral Lenses For patients with complex corneas, such as keratoconus, pellucid marginal degeneration, ectasia, corneal transplants, after LASIK, and more, scleral lenses are lifesavers! They can provide comfort and improved vision when all other contact lens options have failed. However, for some patients, even those with 20/20 vision, the quality of […]

Understanding Cataract Surgery: A Brief Overview Cataract surgery is a common and highly effective procedure that can significantly improve your vision and quality of life. Cataracts occur when the natural lens in your eye becomes cloudy, leading to blurred vision and decreased clarity. During cataract surgery, the cloudy lens is removed and replaced with an […]

Understanding Light Adjustable Lens Cataract Surgery Light Adjustable Lens (LAL) cataract surgery represents a significant advancement in vision correction technology. This innovative procedure involves the implantation of a special intraocular lens that can be fine-tuned after surgery using ultraviolet light. Unlike traditional cataract surgery, where the lens power is determined before the operation, LAL surgery […]

Introduction to Cataract Surgery: Understanding the Procedure Cataract surgery is a common and highly effective procedure that can significantly improve your vision and quality of life. As you consider this treatment option, it’s essential to have a clear understanding of what the procedure entails and the potential risks involved.  Cataracts occur when the natural lens […]

Understanding Corneal Crosslinking: A Brief Overview Corneal crosslinking (CXL) is a revolutionary treatment designed to halt the progression of keratoconus, a progressive eye condition that causes the cornea to thin and bulge into a cone-like shape. This innovative procedure strengthens the corneal tissue by creating new bonds between collagen fibers, effectively stabilizing the cornea’s shape […]

Ocular rosacea is a subtype of rosacea, a chronic inflammatory skin disorder that primarily affects the facial area. Ocular rosacea specifically targets the eyes and eyelids, causing a range of symptoms such as redness, dryness, burning, stinging and irritation. Ocular rosacea can be challenging to manage, as it often coexists with other eye conditions and […]

Understanding Posterior Capsular Opacification (PCO) Posterior capsular opacification (PCO) is the most common complication of cataract surgery that can affect your vision. National Institutes of Health reports that “despite recent advances in ophthalmology, this complication has not been eradicated, and the incidence of PCO can be as high as 10%.” While cataract surgery is generally […]

What are Progressive Lenses? Progressive lenses, sometimes called progressive glasses, are a type of eyeglass lens designed to provide clear vision at multiple distances, eliminating the need for separate spectacles for near, intermediate, and far vision.  Here’s a breakdown of the zones in progressive lenses: Progressive lenses are especially popular among people over 40 who […]

What are Scleral Lenses? Scleral lenses are a specialized type of contact lens made of rigid gas permeable (RGP) material. These lenses differ from traditional contact lenses in several key ways. Unlike other contacts that touch the cornea, scleral lenses are designed to vault over the entire cornea and rest on the white part of […]

What is EVO ICL? The EVO Implantable Collamer Lens (ICL) is a vision correction procedure that offers an alternative to traditional laser eye surgeries like LASIK or PRK. This advanced technology is designed to correct myopia (nearsightedness) and astigmatism. The EVO ICL is a biocompatible lens made from a unique collagen-based material called Collamer. Unlike […]

Understanding Corneal Cross-Linking: A Breakthrough Treatment Corneal cross-linking (CXL) has emerged as a revolutionary treatment for various corneal disorders, particularly for those suffering from post-LASIK ectasia. This innovative procedure aims to strengthen the cornea, halting the progression of corneal thinning and distortion. As a patient dealing with post-LASIK complications, you may find yourself searching for […]
