Prosthetic Contact Lens

By

Life can be complicated, even more when one has an eye disfigured from injury, birth defect and trauma affecting their appearance.

Fortunately, Prosthetic contact lenses can mask these flaws and improve the appearance of an eye.



Prosthetic lenses not only provide a natural look. But they can block excess light from reaching the back of the eye to reduce glare and increase comfort. 

Prosthetic contacts can be pre-made with a trial set or by ordering custom-painted contact lenses.

They function like any gas permeable contact lens for greater durability, in some cases better vision, and a longer life span.

For more information about prosthetic contact lenses, schedule a consultation with an optometrist/opthalmologist today.

Eye Movement Dysfunction

By
The rotational movements of intorsion and extorsion are necessary to keep a viewed object stable and positioned on the appropriate part of the retina as the head is tilted from side to side. To illustrate imagine standing upright and looking at an arrow that is pointing superiorly.  Now tilt your head 45 degrees to the right, does the arrow move with your head? Now point at a 45 degree angle, hopefully not. Because of intorsion and extortion the arrow should still appear to be pointing superiorly. In this case the right eye has been intowarded and the left eye has been equivalently extorted so that the image falls on the same part of the retina as before the head tilt. Obviously our eye has a limited range of intorsion and extorsion. They cannot spin completely around within the orbit. And if we were to stand on our head the arrow would appear to change direction and appear to point inferiorly. Now, lets look at the movements produced by each of the extra oculum muscles. Medial and...

What does 20/20 vision actually mean?

By
What does it mean when you have got 20/20 Vision? 20/20 Vision is a term coined from an in office test to determine visual acuity or clarity of vision.  If we're getting technical, the term 2020 actually refers to the size of a letter, a person can read when they are 20 feet away.   When you walk into the exam room, and you see the Big E on the top of the chart, that's a 2200 letter. The next line down is 2100 and so on and so forth until you get to that small 2020 line, which is actually optimal vision that we check for in the exam. When patients have trouble seeing smaller letters on the eye chart, glasses and contacts can be prescribed to correct vision to a point where the 2020 line becomes focused.  Measuring visual acuity is important, and is used as a way for your eye doctor to standardize how you're seeing over time.  It can be used as a comparison tool from exam date to exam date.  For example, if you saw 2020 last year, and you're seeing the 2030 ...
