What’s New at AEC???
July 9, 2009 - 2:15 pm - Miss Bassett, Thank you for the blog. Ortho-K may very well be an excellent option for you. It might work better to simply put you into a monovision ortho-k system where one eye is for distance (dominant eye) and the other is for the computer/reading, or we could discuss a multifocal ortho-k system where both eyes are "shaped" to allow for both eyes to see far, intermediate, and near. LASIK would be an option also, but it is best to exhaust all other options before a permanent surgery is performed. Ortho-K or traditional contacts would allow you to "test drive" what the laser can do for you also. Unfortunately multifocal LASIK is not an option. Multifocal intraocular implants are, but that procedure is best reserved for when you have significant, age-related cataracts that need extraction. Otherwise the risks often outweigh the benefits. I will be hosting a teleconference on ortho-k in a few weeks. Continue to check in for the exact date, or you could call to schedule a free consultation at 407-333-EYES(3937). Thanks again. Dr. Larson
July 9, 2009 - 1:27 pm - I've just learned about ortho-k lenses. I'm 74 years old, near sighted, use my eyes a lot for computer operations and am interested whether ortho-k might be a better solution than Lasik or glasses. I live in Tavares. Thank you for any information.
