Therapeutic Contact Lenses– Belmont, MA

Corneal Mapping Technology

We utilize an advanced instrument called an Oculus Keratograph 5M Topographer to help measure thousands of points on the surface of your eye to determine precise measurements for contact lenses. The system helps us select the best-suited lenses for your eyes by offering a special fitting display.

Scleral Lenses (Keratoconus Treatment)

Keratoconus, a type of corneal disease, is a condition in which the cornea thins out and becomes more cone-shaped instead of round. This results in light refracting off of your cornea out of focus, causing common symptoms like clouding and distortion. Using uniquely-designed contact lenses that provide a clear lens to mask the distorted areas of your cornea, we can help create a regular optical surface over the irregular one.

Benefits of Scleral Contact Lenses

Scleral contact lenses offer a variety of advantages, including some of the following:

• Improved comfort due to precise fitting.
• Better vision by treating keratoconus.
• Improved quality of life with hardly noticeable contact lenses.

Corneal Refractive Therapy (Orthokeratology / Ortho-K)

We also offer Ortho-K lenses, which is a non-surgical procedure that helps gently and gradually reshape the curvature of your cornea to improve your vision. Each night, before you go to bed, you’ll put these specially-shaped contact lenses in. As you rest, they’ll safely correct the curvature of your eye, allowing you to have clear, sharp vision for hours after waking up.

• Precise mapping technology ensures the lenses are fitted specifically for your eyes.
• Their accurate fit makes them more comfortable to wear.
• They correct refractive errors overnight.
• Improved visual effects last all day to help you see clearly.
• Non-surgical method of visual correction.
• Great for children to slow down the progression of myopia.
• Lenses help improve patients’ vision to become better than with glasses.
