Services
Custom Soft Lenses
Our custom soft contact lenses provide tailored solutions for patients with unique vision needs. Offering parameters beyond conventional soft lenses, these designs accommodate irregular corneas, toric prescriptions, and age-related vision changes. From pediatric to presbyopic patients, our lenses combine comfort with precision for optimal visual acuity.
Specialty GP Lenses
Advanced gas permeable lens solutions address complex vision challenges like keratoconus. Our specialty GP lenses include scleral designs that provide both visual correction and comfort for irregular cornea patients. These rigid lenses maintain shape while offering oxygen permeability for extended wear comfort.
Dry Eye Relief
Scleral GP lenses offer therapeutic benefits for moderate to severe dry eye conditions. The vaulted design creates a reservoir of tears between the lens and cornea, maintaining hydration while correcting vision. This dual-function approach addresses both comfort and visual acuity for chronic dry eye sufferers.
Ortho-k Therapy
Orthokeratology uses specially designed lenses to temporarily reshape the cornea during sleep. This non-surgical approach provides clear daytime vision without corrective lenses while potentially slowing myopia progression in children through controlled corneal reshaping.
Professional Education
We provide comprehensive educational materials and training programs for eye care professionals. Our resources include clinical pearls, lens fitting guides, and continuing education credits to support practitioners in delivering optimal patient care through our specialized lens solutions.
