Corneal Molding 101
Imagine to SEE clear during your waking hours without glasses or contacts.
Imagine to SEE clear without surgery either…
Imagine that all happens while you SLEEP… INTRIGUED?...
Just imagine that you are dreaming, and in your dream, you SEE life in all its breathtaking detail – without glasses, contact lenses, or surgery. And when you wake up, your world takes SHAPE filled with unimaginable crispness and clarity, and you realize that your dream came true.
It is the start of a new day – enjoying more VISUAL FREEDOM than ever before.
How does that work?
When you are nearsighted, the shape of your cornea causes light rays to focus too far in front of the retina. Thanks to an innovative non-surgical technology, the cornea can be gently reshaped so the light will refocus where it is supposed to, right on the retina.
Dr. Arroyo specializes in Wave Corneal Molding, an advanced modality of non-surgical/reversible vision correction, where a custom shaping devices (corneal molds) are designed and worn overnight. Since the cornea is elastic in nature, its curvature can be gently molded; a computer-assisted corneal topographic evaluation allows the doctor to generate a unique corneal mold that will exert a controlled amount of pressure on the cornea. By changing its curvature, light focuses exactly on the retina, resulting in clear vision.
Corneal Molding (Ortho-k) is completely reversible if necessary and non-invasive.
Is Corneal Molding (Ortho-K) right for you?
In addition to being a good choice for anyone who wants to see clearly without devices or surgery, it’s perfect for people with lifestyles where glasses or contacts may be inconvenient:
- Teenagers unable to have surgery (older than 10)
- Young individuals with growing nearsightness
- Corneal Molding (Ortho-K) is the only option to control MYOPIA; no surgical procedures will do that.
- Athletes
- People with allergies or dry eyes
- Workers who sit in front of a computer all day
- People whose profession requires hassle-free visual freedom
