Laserfit Wavefront Optics: A Clear Difference for Keratoconus (and everybody else)
Wavefront optics can dramatically improve vision for keratoconus and other conditions. The Laserfit process begins by non-invasively creating a digital model of the entire front surface of the eye, and then designing a custom lens to fit that model. That’s only the beginning. The process then goes … [Read more...] about Laserfit Wavefront Optics: A Clear Difference for Keratoconus (and everybody else)
Bad Laser Eye Surgery Outcomes Can Be Fixed

In the NBA, only 19% have a need for vision correction, compared to 54% of the general population between the ages of … [Read more...] about LASERFIT: Best contact lenses for athletes
Super vision possible with scleral contact lenses
Dr. G’s odyssey to aid compromised eyes has led to the creation of super-vision in a number of patients. What does this mean, and how is it done? Vision scientists have concluded that the human eye is actually capable of seeing 20/10 or better, and that the imperfect optics of the eye prevent this … [Read more...] about Super vision possible with scleral contact lenses
