Gentle Molding

Discovering Gentle Molding:
Embracing Comfort

A Non-Surgical and Kid Friendly Solution!

While you are asleep, the lenses gently reshape the front surface of your eye (cornea) so you can see clearly the following day after you remove the lenses upon awakening.

Because the corneal molding effect is temporary, little risk is involved, and you can discontinue wearing the lenses at any time — provided you are willing to start wearing glasses or contacts again when your prescription returns!

Children and young adults who want to be glasses-free but are too young for LASIK often are good candidates for corneal molding.

Those that are not good candidates for refractive surgery for other reasons (dry eyes, for example) are also typically excellent candidates for corneal molding.

Patients who participate in contact sports or work in dusty environments that can pose problems for contact lens wear also can be good candidates.

If you have tried contacts for years without the comfort and vision you had hoped to achieve, you may be a good candidate for corneal molding.

Benefits of Gentle Molding include:

  • Non-Surgical
  • Kid Friendly
  • Works while you sleep
  • Cost is generally cheaper than LASIK
  • Reversible if you stop the treatment

Testimonials

Myopia Control

Myopia Control is a specific type of treatment that slows down the progression of nearsightedness in children. One out of two children are faced with Myopia as this is an extremely common issue. Myopia is something that can not be reversed but, having the proper treatment is important as untreated can lead to long-term eye health issues. That is why taking necessary steps from when a child is young and showing symptoms of Myopia is dire, as their day-to-day life can be negatively affected by bad vision and even leading to vision impairment if not taken serious.
