PCR Orthok
A Bright Eyes Family Vision Care, we take pride in offering the most high-tech vision care services. One of the most exciting services that we offer is orthokeratology.
What is orthokeratology? It is a method to reshaping the cornea to provide clear vision without glasses.
A recent Fox 13 video explains it like this way: “Patients head to the eye doctor every year, often times for a stronger prescription. But, some people are getting “perfect vision” without contacts or glasses. FOX 13’s Dr. Joette Giovinco shows why “Eye Braces” are being called the vision of the future.”
You can watch the entire video here:
Orthokeratology goes by several names. Some doctors call it Ortho-K, others call it corneal molding. At Bright Eyes, we call it Precise Corneal Reshaping Orthokeratology, or “PCR Ortho-K” for short.
There are many benefits to PCR Ortho-K. Not only does it provide clear vision all day without glasses or contacts, but it is safe and completely reversible. Also, many recent scientific studies suggest that PCR Ortho-K can stop or reduce progression of myopia (nearsightedness). This is very exciting, because it can help children from developing a need for very strong prescriptions.
I know exactly what it is like for a patient going through the process and the excitement that comes from being glasses-free. I have worn glasses every day since I was 10 years old, but after fitting myself with PCR ortho-k lenses, I can drive, swim, and work without glasses or contacts. I love it.
We the only office in Westchase to provide PCR Ortho-K. If you have any questions about this exciting treatment option or want to schedule a screening, please do not hesitate to call the office at 813-792-0637 or email at office@brighteyestampa.com.
Be Well!
