Wave Lenses

Wake up to better vision with Wave Lenses at Cannon Family Eyecare!

Wave Technology (ortho-keratology) is a safe, effective way to see better without wearing glasses or contact lenses during the day. A gas permeable contact lens is designed specifically from a map taken of your eye surface. The lenses are placed on your eyes at bedtime, removed when you wake and provide clear, comfortable vision all day long. Think of it as a similar concept as a dental retainer made for the eye, re-shaping the cornea to allow optimal vision while you sleep.

They are a great solution for contact lens patients who suffer from dry eye, especially at the end of the day. Not only are Wave Lenses safe for children, research shows that they can help slow down the progression of nearsightedness.

Wave Lenses are great for people with an active lifestyle; no more lost contact lenses or broken glasses, they are also non-surgical and treatment is reversible.

Dr. Cari Cannon will discuss your options with you and determine what the best choice is for you. Contact lenses are a medical device so an annual evaluation is required, not only to make sure that your vision has not changed, but to ensure proper fit and optimal eye health is being maintained. We recommend taking your contact lenses out when you get home from your day, and taking a day off from them each week. Having a great pair of glasses that you love and see comfortably with is essential to responsible contact lens wear.
