LENS MATERIALS

Hard Resin (Plastic)
Conventional hard resin lenses are half the weight of glass lenses and can be tinted to almost any color and density. Hard resin lenses are more easily scratched than glass but can have an optional scratch protection applied.

Lighter, Thinner Lenses
Modern high index plastic bends light differently than traditional hard resin plastic.  Therefore, lenses made from this material are often thinner and lighter in weight even in stronger prescriptions. High index lenses absorb all harmful UV light and can be tinted to any shade or color.

Aspheric Lenses
These new lenses provide special visual and cosmetic benefits for stronger corrections and increase edge to edge clarity. Aspheric lenses are often made of high index materials for the ultimate in thin edges.

Polycarbonate-Ultralite
Polycarbonate lenses are high index and are usually the lightest, most comfortable lenses. They absorb all harmful UV light and can be made with ultra thin edges because of their unique strength.

LENS DESIGNS

Single Vision Lenses
Single vision lenses have a single power throughout the entire lens. They can be used as all-purpose glasses for people under forty.  For patients over forty they can be designed as near vision only or distance vision only spectacles. Single vision lenses are available in all lens materials. 

Flat Top Bifocals (with line)
This is the most popular bifocal form and is available with the bifocal portion made in a variety of widths. Flat top bifocals are available in all lens materials.

Trifocals (with lines)
Trifocals come in a variety of designs.  Flat top trifocals are the most common. The added segment provides clear vision at arm’s length (~21”). This area is usually blurred for traditional bifocal wearers. Trifocals are available in all lens materials.

Progressive (no-line bifocals)
These lenses provide all the benefits of bifocals but add the feature of continuous clear vision at all distances, including mid-range distance (arm’s length).  Progressives have the cosmetic advantage of appearing to be single vision lenses so they never reveal that the user is wearing bifocals. They are available in all lens materials.  Because of their many benefits, they are becoming the lens of choice for bifocal and trifocal wearers.

Occupational Requirement
Many occupations impose demanding visual requirements on those who wear bifocals or trifocals.  If the visual requirements of your job fall into this category, let us know and we’ll explain what will work best for your individual needs.

Sport Glasses
Many special lens designs are available for the special needs of sports enthusiasts.  Polycarbonate is usually the material of choice for active sports.

Computer Glasses
There are a variety of options for those who use computers. These include special filters and anti-reflection coatings. See our opticians for details.

Polarized Sun Glasses
These are the exciting sunglasses that eliminate reflected glare. They are especially appropriate for driving, fishing, hunting and other types of outdoor activities.

iZon® Lenses

Experience WOW™ Vision. It’s extraordinary to think that vision correction technology relies on the same measurements and technology used generations ago. That’s all about to change. Introducing iZon® High Resolution Eyeglass Lenses - a quantum leap forward in vision correction. Using technology unlike anything else in optometry, iZon Lenses offer a whole new standard for perfect vision.

They not only address your acuity of vision (which line you can read on the eye chart at 20 feet), they also improve the quality of your vision. You’ll see with far more sharpness, contrast and clarity than ever before possible. Current iZon wearers describe it as High-Definition vision.



What is WOW™ vision?
WOW is the experience of putting on your iZon® High Resolution Lenses for the first time. WOW is High-Definition vision, clearer, sharper, more vivid vision day and night. WOW is learning that your eyes are different from anyone else’s on the planet. WOW is seeing your own ocular iPrint™ for the first time. WOW is realizing that optimal vision is worth the time and effort to find a doctor that offers it. WOW is vision that can change your life.

While other eyeglasses are made for looking, iZon High Resolution Lenses are the first eyeglass lenses made specifically for seeing – seeing with far more sharpness, contrast and clarity than ever before possible. By improving the quality of your vision, you will very likely improve the experiences of your life. So take a minute to ask yourself: “are you looking or seeing?” What would your life be like if you started seeing the world in High-Definition?

See for yourself the difference between vision correction that’s conventional, and WOW.

How WOW™ works
Did you know your eyes are like fingerprints? No two are alike—not even your own two eyes. And yet with conventional vision correction, thousands of people may share your same iPrint. Based on measurement technology used a generation ago, it’s this ‘one-size-fits-all’ approach that can limit you from seeing beyond the ordinary. But now with the iZon® eye exam your eye care practitioner is able to capture your unique ocular fingerprint, or iPrint™, delivering a diagnosis with data never before available. For the first time your prescription is a match to your unique optical requirements. Taking what is unique to your eyes and customizing your prescription, no one in the world will have your same iPrint.

Here’s what makes everybody’s eyes different: your eyes have tiny microscopic irregularities, or aberrations, that oftentimes distort light as it passes through the cornea and lens and onto the retina. This can have a significant impact on the quality of your vision affecting things like depth perception, crispness, contrast, color perception and even nighttime vision. Until now there was nothing your eye doctor could do to identify or address these imperfections unique to your eyes.
Your Customized Lenses

With the information and data from your eye exam and your very own iPrint, your customized iZon High Resolution Lenses are produced. And because these lenses take into consideration both traditional measurements and the unique aberrations of your eyes, your vision, for the first time, will be truly optimized.
Seeing in High-Definition

With iZon Lenses, your vision will be clearer, sharper and more vivid than you ever imagined. WOW is seeing your life in a whole new way. Current iZon wearers describe it as seeing the world in High-Definition vision.

LASIK

At our Baltimore LASIK offices, we provide the best technology for laser vision correction. The combination of our specialist's experience and training, with the most advanced laser technology helps to ensure excellent results for our many patients from the Baltimore and Maryland regions. LASIK surgery is an extremely successful vision correction procedure approved for the treatment of nearsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism, and in some cases, presbyopia correction.

To learn more about LASIK surgery (tests and treatment) and the conditions mentioned above (refractive errors), click the topic of your choice below.

In the United States alone, Laser surgery is performed on over a million patients every year, and it is currently the most popular refractive surgery available. If you are interested in laser vision correction, consider what surgery can do for you.

To find out more about laser vision correction, please contact us. During your complimentary surgery consultation, our vision specialist will determine whether you are a candidate for eye surgery, or whether you would be better suited for other procedures.

LASIK Surgery at our Baltimore LASIK Center - The Procedure

Laser-Assisted In-Situ Keratomileusis, is a surgical treatment designed to improve vision by increasing the focusing power of the eye. It is an outpatient procedure that can be performed in less than an hour. At our vision correction center, surgery begins after the patient is made comfortable with numbing anesthetic eyedrops. During the procedure, our surgeon creates a flap in the outer eye, and gently folds over the flap to reveal the cornea. Using a precise excimer laser, she then quickly reshapes the cornea, and replaces the flap over the eye. The surgery itself is virtually painless, and results can be seen immediately. After vision correction with it, patients can leave our office immediately, and return to their normal activities within a day, sometimes less.

Who is a Candidate for LASIK Surgery?

The surgery is best suited for healthy patients who are at least 18 years of age. If you suffer from astigmatism, myopia (nearsightedness), or hyperopia (farsightedness), and your prescription is stable, you may be a candidate for laser vision correction with it. At our practice, the surgery is the procedure of choice for patients with lower prescriptions. The surgery is worthwhile for anyone who is unhappy wearing glasses or contact lenses. The surgery may now also be an option for presbyopia correction; the surgery can correct one eye for distance vision and the other eye for close vision in a procedure known as Monovision.

At our practice, every potential patient must undergo a thorough examination prior to surgery. Our specialist will base her recommendations for treatment on a number of factors, including your current prescription, medical background, lifestyle, and expectations from surgery.

LASIK Surgery - Results

After laser vision correction at our practice, patients can expect to see immediate improvement in the quality of their vision. Studies from the American Academy of Ophthalmology report that seven out of 10 patients achieve 20/20 vision or better following the surgery. It is important to be aware that the surgery is not a guarantee of perfect vision, and some patients may require additional surgery to further enhance their vision. However, the vast majority of our patients who have undergone the surgery are extremely happy with the results. In fact, our enhancement rate is currently less than 3%, far below the national average.

As with most surgeries, there are possible risks. During your consultation at our practice, our specialist will explain the LASIK surgery in detail, and go over all possible long/short term side effects and complications.
