Many people who had LASIK years ago are now reaching the age when cataracts naturally begin to develop. One of the most common questions they ask is whether previous LASIK surgery will affect their cataract surgery results. The good news is yes — you can absolutely have cataract surgery after LASIK. In fact, it is […]

Keratoconus and cataracts can each have a major impact on vision individually. When they occur together, patients often find themselves dealing with a combination of blurry vision, distortion, glare, and reduced visual quality that becomes increasingly difficult to manage. Keratoconus affects the shape of the cornea, while cataracts affect the clarity of the eye’s natural […]

Cross-Linking Is Important, but It’s Not the Whole Story If you’ve been diagnosed with keratoconus, there’s a good chance you’ve heard something like this: “You need cross-linking to stop progression.” And that’s true. Corneal cross-linking is one of the most important advancements in modern keratoconus care. It’s often the first step in protecting your vision […]

For many people with high myopia, vision correction can feel frustratingly limited. You may have spent years relying on thick glasses, uncomfortable contact lenses, or hearing the same disappointing phrase at consultations: “You’re not a candidate for LASIK.” If your prescription is too strong for traditional laser vision correction, it can feel like your options […]

Introduction: Why Cataracts Change Your Relationship With Contact Lenses If you’ve worn contact lenses for years, being told you need cataract surgery can feel like stepping into unfamiliar territory.

Which treatment is the best choice? The truth is, there is no single “best” solution for keratoconus. There is only the right combination of treatments at the right […]

Corneal crosslinking has long been the only treatment for slowing keratoconus, with epi-off crosslinking leading the way for over a decade. Now, as pioneers in the field, we’re thrilled to see the FDA approve Epioxa, the first epithelium-on system of its kind, and to bring patients an important new option in their treatment journey. Epioxa […]

If you’re one of those people who can’t see anything without your glasses or contacts — not your alarm clock, not your face in the mirror — you know how limiting high nearsightedness can feel. It’s more than an inconvenience; it’s a constant dependence. What happens if you lose a contact lens at work or […]

Epioxa is the first FDA-approved incision-free, topical cross-linking therapy for keratoconus.

For decades, patients with advanced keratoconus faced limited treatment options. Glasses and contact lenses could help in the early stages, but once the condition progressed, many patients were left with only one surgical path: a corneal transplant. While corneal transplantation remains a life-changing procedure for many, it is invasive, carries risks, and requires a lengthy […]
