Myopia, commonly known as nearsightedness, is a common ocular condition with most myopia management solutions focused on treating the symptom rather than correcting the root cause.
At Bright Eyes Vision in Warminster, we are committed to offering advanced solutions for myopia management, including the use of Abiliti™ Overnight Therapeutic Lenses by Johnson & Johnson Vision.
What Are Abiliti™ Overnight Therapeutic Lenses?
Abiliti™ Overnight Therapeutic Lenses are FDA-approved orthokeratology (Ortho-K) lenses designed to be worn overnight. In a groundbreaking advancement these lenses provide clear daytime vision without the need for contacts or eye glasses as they reshape your cornea while you sleep!
Benefits of Abiliti™ Ortho-K Lenses
- Non-Surgical Solution: Provides an effective alternative to refractive surgery for myopia management.
- Daytime Freedom: Enjoy clear vision throughout the day without relying on glasses or contact lenses.
- Proven Efficacy: Used successfully in myopia management for over 15 years, demonstrating a strong track record of safety and effectiveness.
- Customized Fit: Each lens is tailored to fit the unique shape of your cornea, ensuring optimal comfort and effectiveness.
- High Oxygen Permeability: With a Dk value of 182, these lenses allow high oxygen flow, promoting corneal health during overnight wear.
How Abiliti™ Lenses Work
During sleep, Abiliti™ lenses gently reshape the corneal surface (the root cause for myopia), temporarily correcting the refractive error associated with myopia. This corneal reshaping allows light to focus directly on the retina, resulting in clear vision upon waking. The effect is temporary, so the lenses must be worn nightly to maintain optimal vision correction.
Is Abiliti™ Right for You?
Abiliti™ Overnight Therapeutic Lenses are suitable for individuals with myopia up to -6.00 diopters and astigmatism up to 1.50 diopters. During a comprehensive eye examination at Bright Eyes Vision in Warminster, our eye care professionals will assess your eye health, prescription, and corneal shape to determine if you are a good candidate for Ortho-K with Abiliti™ lenses.
What to Expect During the Fitting Process
- Comprehensive Eye Exam: Evaluate overall eye health and determine the degree of myopia.
- Corneal Topography: Map the surface of the cornea to design customized lenses.
- Lens Fitting: Fit the Abiliti™ lenses and provide training on insertion, removal, and care.
- Follow-Up Visits: Monitor corneal health and ensure the lenses are providing the desired vision correction.
Caring for Your Abiliti™ Lenses
Proper lens care is essential to maintain eye health and lens performance. Abiliti™ lenses should be disinfected using a chemical disinfection system recommended by our eye care professionals. Avoid using tap water or saliva to clean the lenses and always follow the provided care instructions meticulously.
