Lipiflo, Orthokeratology, and measuring eye pressure are all important topics that we will discuss in this short video.

Dry eye is a chronic and typically progressive condition. Around one third of the U.S. population will be affected by dry eye at some point in their lifetime. Although dry eye can affect individuals at any age, symptoms are often worse for those over forty-five years old. Symptoms can range in severity from a mild annoyance to extreme debilitation.

It is the leading cause of blindness in people over 40 years old. Fortunately, today, glaucoma treatments are better than ever. The optic nerve is the cable that carries information about what your eyes see to the brain where it is processed. In most glaucoma cases, fluid inside the eye builds up causing an increase in intraocular pressure.

Imagine wearing a contact lens while you sleep and removing it in the morning to enjoy clear, comfortable vision the rest of the day. Orthokeratology, or ortho-k, uses a specially designed rigid gas permeable contact lens that gently reshapes the front surface of the eye while you sleep. This safe and effective treatment is a great alternative to LASIK for those who do not want the risk or expense of surgery.
