The benefits

1 in 8 people have deficient visual skills

  • Vision Rehabilitation helps to relearn these skills after they have been damaged by traumatic brain injuries such as concussions and strokes.
  • 1 in 8 people have deficient visual skills that create symptoms in day to day life and 80% of children with delays in reading have a visual deficit that contributes to the delays. These deficits are almost always missed in school screenings and frequently missed by routine exams as well.
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:

01
Improved Vision

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

02
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.

03
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.

04
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.

05
Pain-Free

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

06
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:

01
Comfort

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

02
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.

03
Versatility

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

04
Protection

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

05
Long-Lasting

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

06
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.

Vision Therapy can be used to address underdeveloped visual skills related to focusing, eye teaming, and eye movements. When untreated, these poor skills can negatively affect reading and athletic abilities.

Symptoms of visual issues

Common symptoms of visual deficits include headaches, words running together, skipping words or lines, poor handwriting, motion sickness, vision worsening throughout the day, poor reading comprehension, fatigue with near work, and a number of other symptoms. These deficiencies are best addressed through vision therapy, which works much like physical therapy for the eyes.

Injuries can disrupt the visual system, too

Additionally, head injuries such as concussions and whiplash can disrupt the visual system. 90% of closed head injuries result in difficulties with eye movements. This significantly impacts the ability to read fluidly and comfortably. While these symptoms can resolve on their own over the course of several months, vision rehabilitation can speed recovery or assist in rebuilding the skills when spontaneous recovery does not occur.

Vision therapy and rehabilitation is provided in partnership with the Colorado Center for Visual Performance. If you'd like to contact the Colorado Center for Visual Performance directly, please call (303) 284-5172. Be sure to visit their site to learn more.
