Keratoconus is a progressive eye disease in which the normally round cornea thins and begins to bulge into a cone-like shape. The cornea is the clear, central part of the surface of the eye. In patients with keratoconus, the cone-shaped cornea deflects light and causes distorted vision.

Keratoconus has been estimated to occur in 1 out of every 2,000 people in the general population. Keratoconus often begins to develop between the teen years and the early 20s, although it can develop at any age. Changes in the shape of the cornea occur gradually, usually over several years. Patients with keratoconus often experience blurred and distorted vision, nearsightedness, and a glaring sensitivity to light.

Dr. Murray Johnson, O.D., FAAO, MS has extensive experience in caring for patients with Keratoconus.

If you have you been told that you cannot wear contact lenses because of an irregular cornea or other problems, you may want to ask Dr. Fadwa Houari about Scleral Contact Lenses.

If you want to wear contact lenses but have had trouble wearing them in the past — or you've been told you are not a good candidate for contacts — scleral contact lenses may be the solution you are looking for.

If you have an eye condition that prevents you from wearing regular contact lenses, such as corneal irregularities (i.e. keratoconus), post corneal transplant, severe dry-eye, or an unusually high refractive error, scleral contact lenses may be the right option for you.

Myopia, often referred to as near-sightedness, is when a person’s long-distance vision is blurry. A person who is myopic can see things clearly up close, but objects far away are blurry.

Myopia is growing increasingly common among children today. Unfortunately, childhood cases of myopia tend to get progressively more severe as the child gets older.

Why should you be interested in myopia control? Because slowing the progression of myopia may keep your child from developing high levels of nearsightedness that require thick, corrective eyeglasses and have been associated with serious eye problems later in life, such as early cataracts or even a detached retina.

Orthokeratology, also known as Ortho-K, is an FDA approved nonsurgical alternative to refractive surgery. Ortho_K reshapes the cornea with a series of custom-designed, gas permeable contact lenses that are worn overnight, while the patient is asleep. These lenses reshape the cornea overnight to provide improved vision during the day. Orthokeratology is a gentle, safe, and reversible procedure that was approved by the FDA in 2002.

Patients can obtain clear vision, with no need for glasses or contact lenses, without refractive surgery. While results of Ortho-K are temporary, they can be maintained by wearing the contact lenses overnight.

Computer vision syndrome, or digital eye strain, describes vision-related problems resulting from prolonged computer, tablet, and cellphone use.

Many people experience discomfort when using digital devices for prolonged periods.

Many Americans spend over 7 hours a day with their eyes trained on a digital device.  This has resulted in the growing issue of digital eye strain.  The extent to which you may experience visual symptoms may depend on:

• Amount of time looking at screens
• Uncorrected vision problems, e.g., farsightedness or astigmatism
• Inadequate eye focusing or eye coordination abilities
• Eye changes due to age, e.g., presbyopia
