PortaScout topographer

Here's how it works
When you sleep, you wear contact lenses that gently reshape the front of your eye, so you can see clearly even after you remove the lenses.  The effect is temporary--lasting one to three days, so you must wear the special lenses each night.

Ortho-K technology
Topographical scans of your corneas (the front surface of your eye) will be taken.  This is a painless digital picture of your eye that is much like a topographical map of the earth except this map shows the hills and valleys of each unique cornea. 

We use a Scout Topographer that measures 14,000 data points of corneal curvature.  Dr. Davis uses a computer-aided design program and computer-aided manufacturing process to design one-of-a-kind custom Ortho-K lenses.  The Scout topographer is the ONLY instrument in the world in which the unique topography of each patient's eye is used as a template for customized contact lens design. Once designed by Dr. Davis, the lenses are produced by a precise computer-numerical-controlled lathe and then shipped to Dr. Davis for final verification and cleaning.

Dispensing of the lenses
Dr. Davis and staff instruct their patients on insertion, removal and cleaning of their special lenses.  Results are often immediate.  Frequently, patients achieve excellent vision with their naked eyes after the first night of molding and within a few days most patients maintain clear vision for the entire day and evening. 

Office visits are scheduled to ensure clear, comfortable vision over the next 6 months.   Typically visits are the day of dispensing, the next morning (after first night of wear), 1-week, 3 weeks, 2 months and 6 months.  Yearly exams are required with subsequent topography and lens deep cleaning.

Special lenses
The lenses can last for 3 years depending on the patient's care and cleaning.  Spare pairs of contact lenses are recommended and replacement lenses can be ordered.
