Texas LASIK Alternatives

There are numerous resources in Texas for LASIK surgical procedures, but what may not be as widely known are the LASIK surgery alternatives; many which happen to be non-surgical treatments.  Although LASIK is probably still the most regularly used surgical vision correction procedure, Orthokeratology, more commonly known as Ortho-K, is becoming increasingly popular.  Ortho-K is an extremely safe alternative to the LASIK treatment, and has been practiced around the world to successfully treat myopia and astigmatism.  The non-surgical Ortho-K procedure will allow candidates the ability to enjoy their entire day without the use of glasses or contact lenses.

Ortho-K is a process that reshapes and flattens the cornea using unique custom-fit contact lenses that are intended to be in place while sleeping, and the results are completely reversible by simply opting not to use the contact lenses.  Ortho-K is a safe LASIK surgery alternative and is available in many areas, including Texas. If you are curious if you would be a candidate for Ortho-K, or would like more information on other vision correction options, contact a member of the Brooks Eye Center professional staff for more specific details.
