Nearsightedness does not always require surgery or daytime dependence on glasses and contact lenses. At Westchester Eyes, our approach to non LASIK myopia correction in White Plains, NY begins with understanding your prescription, corneal shape, eye health, and visual needs before recommending treatment.
Myopia, also known as nearsightedness, is a common vision condition that causes distant objects to appear blurry while nearby objects are usually clearer. It occurs when the eye is too long or the cornea is too curved, causing light to focus in front of the retina instead of directly on it. Myopia can develop at any age, although it often begins during childhood and may progress as the eyes grow.
Successful corneal reshaping depends on precise measurements rather than a one-size-fits-all lens. At our White Plains practice, we use advanced diagnostic technology, including corneal mapping, to evaluate the shape and curvature of the cornea.
We also use a Wavefront Corneal Refractive Analysis System to obtain detailed measurements used in designing customized corneal reshaping lenses. These findings help us determine whether CRT is suitable for your eyes and allow us to personalize treatment around your prescription and corneal characteristics.
We offer Corneal Reshaping Treatment (CRT), a non-surgical approach designed to temporarily reshape the cornea while you sleep. CRT uses specially designed reverse geometry lenses that are worn overnight and removed in the morning. The reshaping effect can provide clearer daytime vision with less dependence on glasses or daytime contact lenses.
Unlike LASIK, CRT does not surgically alter corneal tissue. The treatment is non-invasive and reversible, making it an option for patients who want greater freedom from daytime corrective lenses without undergoing refractive surgery.
Non LASIK myopia correction may be worth considering for patients in White Plains who:
Want clearer daytime vision without glasses or soft contact lenses
Prefer a non-surgical and reversible approach
Have an active lifestyle that makes daytime eyewear inconvenient
Have difficulty comfortably wearing traditional daytime contact lenses
Are interested in an overnight vision correction option
Have a child or young adult who may benefit from a personalized approach to myopia management
CRT has also been used as part of myopia management for children and younger patients when clinically appropriate.
Our goal is not simply to provide another form of vision correction. We evaluate the individual characteristics of your eyes, use objective measurements to guide our recommendations, and monitor how your vision and corneal shape respond to treatment. This allows us to make informed adjustments and provide non LASIK myopia correction based on your specific needs.
If you are interested in reducing your dependence on daytime glasses or contact lenses without LASIK, schedule an evaluation with Westchester Eyes to discuss personalized non LASIK myopia correction.
