CONTACT LENS CLINIC
Contact lenses are thin, clear and artificial prosthetic devices that you wear in the eye to improve the visionfor people with all types of refractive errorsand irregularities of the corneal surface. Contact lenses float on the tear film that covers your cornea.
There are many types of contact lenses that will vary as per the refractive error and ocular health. E.g. soft contact lens, toric soft contact lens, rigid gas permeable lens, scleral lens, prosthetic soft contact lens, Orthokeratology lenses etc…
Soft contact lens
Soft contact lenses are made of soft, flexible plastics that allow oxygen to pass through to the cornea. This lens material may be easier to adjust to and provide better initial comfort.
Rigid Gas permeable (RGP) contact lens
Gas permeable (GP) contact lenses, also known as rigid gas permeable (RGP) lenses, are hard contact lenses made of silicone-containing compounds that allow oxygen to pass through the lens material to the eye. Though not as popular as soft contact lenses, GP lenses offer a number of advantages over soft lenses.
Scleral Lenses
Scleral lenses are large-diameter gas permeable contact lenses that vault over the cornea (the clear front of the eye) and rest over the sclera (the white of the eye). The scleral lens provides a smooth optical surface that works to correct vision problems caused by keratoconus and other irregular cornea problems. These lenses need to be filled with non-preserved saline which gives an enhanced on-eye comfort and provides sharp vision.
Prosthetic soft lens
Prosthetic contact lens (artificial iris) is a contact lens used on both sighted and non-sighted eyes to improve their cosmetic appearance
Orthokeratology lenses
Specially designed and fitted contact lenses to temporarily reshape the cornea to improve vision. Most ortho-k lenses are worn at night to reshape the front surface of the eye while you sleep. Vision improvements are reversible but can be maintained if you keep wearing the lenses as directed
MYOPIA MANAGEMENT CLINIC
Myopia control is about improving one’s quality of life.The following are a list of effective and approved methods to curb myopic changes. Specialized eyeglasses lenses,Orthokeratology (OrthoK), Atropine eye drops, Distance-Center Multifocal Contact Lenses and Bifocal or Multifocal Eyeglasses. Sometimes combining methods for maximum impact.
COMPREHENSIVE EYE EXAMINATIONS
Comprehensive eye examinations are the only effective way to confirm or rule out any eye disease or vision problem. A comprehensive adult eye examination includes:
- Patient and family health history.
- Preliminary tests of visual acuity measurement, visual function and eye health, including depth perception, color vision, peripheral vision and the response of the pupils to light.
- Assessment of refractive status to determine the presence of nearsightedness, farsightedness or astigmatism.
- Evaluation of eye focusing and eye movement abilities.
- Eye health examination.
- Additional tests as needed
- SPECTACLE DISPENSING
When a patient may not feel comfortable even though his vision improves. This may not be the error of the examiner always; sometimes it just requires a little more attention on the spectacle part to ensure that the customer gets a comfortable frame. While dispensing spectacles, it is important to take into account the patient’s needs vocation and socio-economic background. Optometrists can guide the patients to choose appropriate frames.
BINOCULAR VISION CLINIC
Binocular vision is the ability for our brain to combine the two images seen by each of our eyes into a single image that is both clear and comfortable.
Binocular vision dysfunctions can significantly affect patients’ quality of life, often negatively affecting work performance, which can be improved by vision therapy and binocular vision exercises.
PROSTHETIC EYE CLINIC
A prosthetic eye can help improve the appearance of people who have lost an eye to injury or disease.
If the entire eye is removed, an ocular implant and prosthesis prevent the tissues in the eye socket from growing to fill the empty space. A prosthetic eye cannot restore vision. After removal of the natural eye and placement of a prosthetic eye, a person will have no vision in that eye.
