Determination of Prescription Specific to Your Needs

Our expert team of doctors takes the time to understand your unique vision needs, ensuring that your prescription is tailored to your specific requirements.

Personalized assessment: We conduct an in-depth evaluation of your vision and lifestyle to create a personalized prescription.
Lifestyle factors: Our doctors consider factors such as work environment, screen use, hobbies, and sports to ensure your prescription aligns with your daily activities.
Vision goals: We discuss your vision goals to provide you with the most appropriate prescription for your needs.

Eye Health Exam for Diseases

At Carbon Valley Eye Care, we are dedicated to identifying and addressing eye diseases and conditions to preserve your long-term eye health.

Comprehensive screening: Our doctors perform a thorough examination to identify common eye diseases and conditions, such as glaucoma, macular degeneration, and cataracts.
Early detection: By catching eye diseases early, we can help prevent vision loss and maintain your overall eye health.
Tailored treatment plans: We develop individualized treatment plans to address your specific eye health needs and concerns.

Retina Imaging

Retina imaging allows us to see inside your eye completely, allowing our doctors to gain valuable insights into your eye and overall health.

The good news: because we have advanced retina imaging at our office, dilation can be avoided (in most cases) while still allowing us to view inside your eye. This provides an Enhanced Examination where our doctors can view the internal structures of your eyes more clearly, leading to a more accurate assessment.

Detection of underlying issues: Retina Imaging allows our doctors to detect potential issues that may not be visible during a standard examination.
Comprehensive care: Retina Imaging is a crucial step in providing comprehensive eye care.

Ortho-K Lenses

Reshape your vision with Ortho-K Lenses

Ortho-K lenses, short for orthokeratology, are a type of specialized gas-permeable contact lens that are designed to reshape the cornea of the eye while you sleep. By doing so, they correct a variety of vision problems such as astigmatism, myopia, and hyperopia, allowing you to see clearly without the need for glasses or contact lenses during the day.

Why Ortho-K?

Benefits of Ortho-K Lenses

There are several benefits to using Ortho-K Lenses. Some of them include:

Improved Vision

Ortho-K lenses allow you to enjoy clear vision throughout the day without the need for glasses or contact lenses.

Non-Surgical

Unlike other forms of vision correction, Ortho-K lenses are non-surgical, making them a safe and effective option for people who are not good candidates for LASIK surgery.

Suitable for Children

Ortho-K lenses are particularly beneficial for children as they can slow down the progression of myopia and help manage other eye conditions.

Long-Lasting Results

While patients should wear their lenses every night for best results, the effects of Ortho-K lenses can often last for up to two full days.

Pain-Free

The reshaping of the cornea is not painful, as it is caused by hydraulic forces rather than squeezing or "squishing."

Covered by FSA/HSA

Ortho-K lenses are eligible for reimbursement through flexible spending accounts (FSAs) and health savings accounts (HSAs).

Scleral Lenses

What are Scleral Lenses?

Scleral lenses are large diameter rigid gas permeable contact lenses that rest on the sclera, the white part of the eye, rather than on the cornea. The space between the scleral lens and the cornea creates a fluid-filled reservoir that helps to fill in any corneal irregularities and create a perfectly rounded surface, resulting in clear and comfortable vision.

Why Scleral Lenses?

Benefits of Scleral Lenses

There are several benefits to using Scleral Lenses. Some of them include:

Comfort

Scleral lenses are designed to be comfortable, with most patients reporting that they are the most comfortable contact lens they have ever worn.

Clear Vision

Scleral lenses can provide clear and sharp vision, particularly for patients with corneal diseases, dystrophies, and degenerations, corneal scars and irregularities, and those who have had corneal transplant or refractive surgery.

Versatility

Scleral lenses can be used to correct a variety of vision problems, including keratoconus, myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism.

Protection

Scleral lenses can provide protection for the cornea, particularly for patients with severe dry eye or other ocular surface conditions.

Long-Lasting

With proper care and maintenance, scleral lenses can provide long-lasting vision correction.

Customizable Fit

Scleral lenses are customizable to fit the unique curvature and shape of your eye, resulting in a more precise and comfortable fit compared to traditional contact lenses.
