While many patients can achieve clear vision with standard eyeglasses at fairly low levels, for some of us this basic correction is not enough to see clearly. Fortunately, whether you wear eyeglasses, or prefer to have your vision corrected with contact lenses, your eye doctor in Pleasant Hills has exactly what you need to see clearly. Specialized lenses can be utilized to allow patients with even severe levels of astigmatism to see clearly and comfortable with the latest in soft contact lenses. Other RBG styles are always available for patients who suffer from keratoconus, which often allow for improved sight correct over eyeglasses for clearer vision than ever before.

The latest advances in optical technology may even allow you to go without eyeglasses or contact, without the need for optical surgery. Through a process known as orthokeratology, or ortho-k for short, your eye doctor in Pleasant Hills is able to craft a unique pair of gas permeable contact lenses which are worn while you sleep, instead of through the day. In doing so, the lenses work to gradually correct the shape of your eye through a process known as corneal refractive therapy. For patients who suffer from myopia, or nearsightedness, corneal refractive therapy works alter the curvature of your cornea into a perfect sphere for sight correction.
