    These rigid lenses aren't as popular or well-known as soft lenses, but they offer the advantages of durability, crisp vision and high oxygen permeability.

  • Contact Lenses for the "Hard-to-Fit" Patient

    Challenges such as astigmatism, presbyopia, keratoconus and dry eyes needn't be a barrier to contact lens wear, but they do require more time and patience.

  • Toric Contact Lenses for Astigmatism

    "I can't wear soft contacts; I have astigmatism." This once-true statement is now simply a myth.

• Pediatrics/Vision Therapy

  • Many children and adults suffer from binocular vision disorders or vision related learning disabilities.

  • These conditions could be the result of conditions such as "lazy or turned" eye

    (Amblyopia or Strabismus), eye movement difficulties (Oculomotor Dysfunction, Convergence Insufficiency), focusing difficulty (Accommodative Dysfunction), or a number of visual perceptual difficulties.

  • Patients with these conditions are often undiagnosed and struggling with reading, comprehension, math or even sports.

    They get headaches and unnecessary eye strain, frequently lose their place, cannot focus for long periods of studying or reading, and sometimes experience double vision.

  • When these symptoms go unrecognized the manifestation can be tiresome.

    Fights to get homework done, stress with a child falling behind in their classes, and difficulty motivating the students to go beyond the minimum effort are not uncommon. For students most often the manifestation is frustration and avoidance. The conditions described above are not limited to children and struggling students; clear and comfortable visual function is necessary for people who work long hours at the computer, athletes, or adults who choose reading as a hobby.

  • When our eye doctor in Buckhead, Atlanta recognizes these conditions, often a pair of glasses will not solve the problem.

    In fact, in many cases 20/20 eyesight is possible without glasses but the symptoms remain. Vision therapy is a proven treatment for many binocular vision disorders. A trained optometrist will design a program specific to the condition by first identifying the underlying cause and discussing the possible impact on the patient's lifestyle.

  • The vision therapy program is much like anything else that you learn for the first time.

    By teaching the patient eye awareness and exercises using lenses, prisms, filters, images and computers, we strengthen the focusing and movement muscles that are involved in vision. It takes practice, dedication and supervision. Within several weeks to several months both the patient and family will begin to notice whether the program is positively impacting the home life and translating it into their school work, sports program or hobby. A good vision therapy program will be progressive, have measurable success and recognizable impact that will translate to reduced symptoms and improved visual performance.

  • Because we provide both medical and routine eye care, our optometrist accepts a number of insurance plans to help cover the cost depending on your individual needs.
