Eyeglasses
Eyeglasses are a classic and reliable option for vision correction. They come in a variety of styles and designs, allowing you to express your personal taste while improving your vision. Our team at 50 Dollar Eye Guy can help you find the perfect pair of eyeglasses that not only correct your vision but also complement your face shape and enhance your overall look. With our large selection of fashionable eyewear, you’re sure to find something that suits your style and budget.
Contact Lenses
For those who prefer a more discreet option, contact lenses may be the ideal choice. Contact lenses sit directly on the cornea of your eye, providing clear vision without the need for glasses. They offer a wider field of view compared to eyeglasses, making them great for physical activities or simply for those who don’t want to deal with the hassle of glasses. Our experienced team can help you find the right type of contact lenses for your prescription and lifestyle. Whether you need daily disposables or extended wear lenses, we have options to suit your needs.
LASIK Surgery
LASIK surgery has become a popular choice for people who want to permanently correct their vision. This procedure uses a laser to reshape the cornea, allowing light to properly focus on the retina and ultimately improving vision. LASIK surgery has a high success rate and can greatly reduce the need for glasses or contact lenses. It is a quick and safe procedure, and most patients experience improved vision within a few days. If you’re interested in LASIK surgery, our skilled doctors can assess your eligibility and provide further guidance.
PRK Surgery
PRK (Photorefractive Keratectomy) is another type of laser eye surgery that can be a good alternative to LASIK. This procedure also reshapes the cornea to correct vision, but it involves removing the outer layer of the cornea before the laser treatment. While the recovery time for PRK surgery is slightly longer compared to LASIK, it can yield excellent results for patients who may not be eligible for LASIK due to certain factors. Our knowledgeable doctors can evaluate your suitability for PRK surgery and discuss the benefits and risks with you.
Phakic Intraocular Lens Implants
Phakic intraocular lens (IOL) implants are a vision correction option for individuals with severe myopia (nearsightedness) or hyperopia (farsightedness) who may not be good candidates for laser eye surgery. This procedure involves implanting a special lens in front of the natural lens of the eye, allowing light to properly focus and improving vision. Phakic IOL implants are a safe and effective alternative to glasses or contact lenses for those who require a higher level of vision correction. Our experienced doctors can determine if phakic IOL implants are a suitable option for you.
Collagen Cross-Linking
Collagen cross-linking is a non-surgical procedure used to stabilize the cornea and slow down the progression of keratoconus, a condition where the cornea becomes thin and cone-shaped. During the procedure, a special riboflavin solution is applied to the cornea, followed by exposure to ultraviolet light. This promotes the formation of strong cross-links within the cornea, preventing further thinning and improving its structural integrity. Collagen cross-linking can help delay or even eliminate the need for a corneal transplant, and our skilled doctors can determine if this procedure is appropriate for your condition.
Orthokeratology
Orthokeratology, also known as Ortho-K, is a non-surgical vision correction option that involves wearing specialized gas-permeable contact lenses overnight. These lenses gently reshape the cornea while you sleep, temporarily correcting your vision during the day. Ortho-K is particularly beneficial for individuals with mild to moderate myopia or astigmatism. It offers the advantage of not needing to wear glasses or contact lenses during the day, making it a convenient option for those involved in sports or other physical activities. Our knowledgeable team can assess your suitability for Ortho-K and guide you through the process.
Multifocal Intraocular Lens Implants
Multifocal intraocular lens (IOL) implants are a vision correction option for individuals with cataracts or presbyopia. During cataract surgery, the natural lens of the eye is replaced with an artificial multifocal IOL, which allows for clear vision at various distances. This means that after the surgery, you may no longer need glasses for activities such as reading or driving. Multifocal IOL implants provide a long-term solution for vision correction and can greatly enhance your quality of life. Our experienced doctors can determine if this option is suitable for you and guide you through the cataract surgery process.
Refractive Lens Exchange
Refractive lens exchange, also known as lens replacement surgery, is similar to cataract surgery but is performed on individuals without cataracts. This procedure involves removing the natural lens of the eye and replacing it with an artificial intraocular lens (IOL) that corrects your specific refractive error. Refractive lens exchange is an excellent option for individuals with high degrees of myopia, hyperopia, or astigmatism who may not be suitable candidates for other vision correction procedures. Our skilled doctors can assess your eligibility and discuss the benefits and risks of refractive lens exchange for your vision correction needs.
Implantable Contact Lenses
Implantable contact lenses, also known as phakic IOLs, are a vision correction option for individuals with high degrees of myopia, hyperopia, or astigmatism who may not be candidates for laser eye surgery or other procedures. Unlike regular contact lenses, implantable contact lenses are surgically inserted into the eye and can provide long-term vision correction. They work by focusing the incoming light directly onto the retina, improving vision without the need for glasses or traditional contact lenses. Our experienced doctors can evaluate your suitability for implantable contact lenses and provide you with all the necessary information.
