Vision Correction
At Infocus Eye Care, your trusted Colorado Springs eye doctor, we are dedicated to providing exceptional vision correction treatment. Vision correction is a general term used to describe a variety of optometric techniques for correcting less-than-perfect vision.
As a local optometrist, we recognize the importance of clear vision and are committed to helping our patients achieve their visual goals by offering treatments, consultations, and referrals for various vision correction surgeries and procedures. Below, you can explore the most common treatments offered at our vision center, and feel free to contact us with questions or to learn how we can enhance your sight and improve your quality of life.
Corneal Reshaping (Orthokeratology)
Orthokeratology is a procedure for correcting myopia (nearsightedness) and mild astigmatism by gently reshaping the cornea with special contact lenses, which the patient places in his or her eyes overnight. When successful, patients will experience clear vision during the day without contact lenses or eyeglasses. However, the results are temporary, so the patient must continue to wear the lenses regularly at night to maintain optimum results.
LASIK
LASIK (Laser-Assisted in Situ Keratomileusis) is a surgical procedure that uses a laser beam to reshape the cornea. Patients who are nearsighted, farsighted, or astigmatic may benefit from this type of procedure.
While millions of patients have seen successful results from LASIK, the procedure is not right for everyone. Our eye specialist here at Infocus Eye Care will need to thoroughly examine your eyes to determine which type of vision correction best fits your needs.
Low Vision Therapy
Low vision is a general term that refers to a partial loss of vision that cannot be adequately corrected with eyeglasses, contact lenses, medications or surgery. Common causes of low vision include macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, inherited retinal degenerative diseases, glaucoma, and optic nerve atrophy.
Low vision therapy typically includes an evaluation of the patient’s visual abilities, prescription of low vision devices, and training in their use. The goal is to maximize the use of the patient’s available vision for reading, writing, hobbies, and work-related tasks such as working at a computer.
