Contact Lenses
If you're one of the nearly 35 million Americans who wear contact lenses or are considering wearing contact lenses, An eye To The Future Optical Center can provide you with comprehensive vision care.

The practice has developed a fine reputation for its successes in achieving clear, comfortable contact lens vision for the difficult astigmatic or bifocal contact lens patient.

CORNEAL REFRACTIVE THERAPY:
CORRECT YOUR VISION WHILE YOU SLEEP!!!
Orthokeratology/Contact Lenses That Correct Vision
Wouldn't it be great if your nearsightedness could be corrected while you sleep? It might sound far-fetched, but it's a reality for some people. It's called orthokeratology, or ortho-k, and it is available throughout the country.
Refractive therapy also known as Orthokeratology (Ortho-K) is a non-surgical process that reshapes the cornea (the window of the eye) using a custom designed reverse geometry contact lens. A reverse geometry design differs from the traditional contact lens design in that the lens is flatter in the center and becomes more curved in the periphery. Customized aspheric curves that match your cornea are applied put on the back of the contact lens. The center of the lens gently applies pressure to the central cornea making it flatter.
The process is painless and by accurately controlling the corneal flattening it's possible to bring the eye in to correct focus and compensate for myopia (nearsightedness) and small amounts of astigmatism. At this point in time orthokeratology will not correct for hyperopia (farsightedness). After removal of the contact lens the cornea retains its flattened shape for most of or all the remainder of the day.
