Low Vision Therapy at Cargo Eye Care of Las Colinas
Did you know there are a handful of vision issues that can’t be corrected with traditional measures like medication, LASIK, corneal reshaping or even eyeglasses and contact lenses?
We call the condition Low Vision and it can be caused by a number of issues including degenerative retinal diseases, macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy and atrophy of the optic nerve.
Low Vision Therapy begins with a thorough examination of the eyes to determine your precise visual abilities. Our team can then prescribe low vision devices and train you on the proper ways to use them.
Corneal Reshaping (Orthokeratology)
If you have mild astigmatism or are nearsighted due to a misshapen cornea, you may benefit from corneal reshaping. Unlike laser vision correction (LASIK), this type of corneal reshaping is accomplished with special contact lenses that are used to gently reshape the cornea to improve your eyesight.
Note: While this treatment option can be quite successful, it should be noted that the reshaping is not permanent. You will need to continue to wear the lenses each night in order to maintain the results.
The experts at Cargo Eye Care of Las Colinas have the experience and the technology you deserve to provide treatment, consultation and referrals for the vision correction procedures detailed above.
Schedule an appointment with one of our doctors and we will be in touch with you shortly.
