Ortho-K
(Orthokeratology) the non surgical alternative to daytime contact
lenses and eyeglasses. No more specs or daytime contact lenses, just
clear vision.Orthokeratology is a non-surgical treatment that uses
contact lenses to temporarily reshape the cornea.Orthokeratology lenses,
which are customized contact lens molds, are worn each night and
removed each morning. The molding that occurs overnight allows for clear
vision at all distances during the day without glasses or daytime
contact lenses. The lenses are comfortable and do not interfere with
sleep. They last approximately a year and are worn as long as myopia
progression is considered a risk or until freedom from daytime lens
correction is no longer desired. Further information, including a search
engine to find doctors fitting the lenses Other benefits include:

Keratoconus
is a disease of the cornea characterized by its progressive thinning,
which then causes the cornea to assume a cone-like shape. for
information on Dr. Kramer , Find Phone & Address information,
medical practice history, affiliated hospitals and more. Keratoconus can
cause these kinds of visual distortions. Common symptoms like those
pictured are: ghosting, multiple images, glare, halos, starbursts around
lights. Keratoconus is an eye condition in which the normally round
dome-shaped clear window of the eye (cornea) progressively thins causing
a cone-shaped bulge to develop.Those affected by keratoconus where
the cornea is cone-shaped and causes a lot of visual distortion. Most
of the time, in this case, rigid contact lenses are a long term
treatment. Because this is a disease that progresses, it is important
for these lenses to be fitted with care and checked annually by a
contact lens specialist. We design these lenses for any degree of keratoconus. For most, this allows improved comfort and vision.
