Vision Correction

Maxivision Eye Care in Naperville provides treatment, consultation and referrals for these common vision correction surgeries and procedures.

Vision correction is a general term used to describe a variety of optometric techniques for correcting less-than-perfect vision. For your convenience, we have included a brief description of some of the most common vision correction procedures offered at Maxivision Eye Care in Naperville. For more specific information about lenses and frames or contacts, please visit their respective pages.

Scleral Lenses

Scleral contacts are large-diameter gas permeable contact lenses specially designed to cover over the entire corneal surface and rest on the sclera or "white" of the eye. This process compensates for the irregular cornea creating a smooth optical surface to correct vision problems caused by keratoconus and other corneal irregularities.

Additionally, the additional space created between the back surface of the lens and tthe cornea can act as a reservoir for fluid and improve issues for patients with severe dry eyes that previously have had difficulty wearing contact lenses.

LASIK

LASIK (Laser-Assisted in Situ Keratomileusis) is a surgical procedure that uses a laser beam to reshape the cornea. Patients who are nearsighted, farsighted or astigmatic may benefit from this type of procedure.

While millions of patients have seen successful results from LASIK, the procedure is not right for everyone. Dr. Prasod will need to thoroughly examine your eyes to determine which type of vision correction best fits your needs.

Low Vision Therapy

Low vision is a general term that refers to a partial loss of vision that cannot be adequately corrected with eyeglasses, contact lenses, medications or surgery. Common causes of low vision include macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, inherited retinal degenerative diseases, glaucoma and optic nerve atrophy.

Low vision therapy typically includes an evaluation of the patient’s visual abilities, prescription of low vision devices and training in their use. The goal is to maximize the use of the patient’s available vision for reading, writing, hobbies and work-related tasks such as working at a computer.
