Clear vision can be a hurdle for those with Myopia or nearsightedness. Thankfully, prescription glasses or contact lenses effectively address this common eye concern.

TSO Briargrove proudly provides Abiliti Contact Lenses, an innovative option designed to slow the progression of Myopia. These lenses use advanced technology with multiple treatment zones, delivering improved vision and effective treatment while you sleep.

What is Myopia or Nearsightedness?

Are you having difficulty seeing objects at a distance, like street signs or faraway text? Or do you often find yourself squinting to read things from afar? These could be signs of Myopia.

Myopia, also called nearsightedness, is a refractive error where distant objects appear out of focus while objects up close are seen clearly.

This occurs when the eye is elongated or the cornea has excessive curvature, causing light to focus in front of the retina rather than directly on it. Recognized as a chronic, progressive condition, Myopia is now one of the most significant eye health challenges of the 21st century.
  • Causes: Influenced by both environmental and genetic factors.
  • The Issue: When the eye's structure is misaligned, light doesn't focus properly, causing blurry distance vision.
  • Common Symptoms: Headaches, eye strain, trouble seeing far away, and difficulty seeing at night.

Treating Myopia vs. Addressing Symptoms with Abiliti™ Contact Lenses

Abiliti™ Overnight Lenses are FDA-approved orthokeratology (ortho-K) lenses designed specifically for Myopia management2. Worn overnight, these lenses correct your vision while you sleep, allowing you to enjoy clear vision during the day without needing glasses or contact lenses.

Custom-crafted to meet the unique needs of each wearer, these Myopia control lenses help provide both effective vision correction and comfort. Regular use of Abiliti lenses has been shown to help slow the advancement of Myopia, making them a great option for people who want to manage their vision without surgery.

How Does Abiliti Lenses Provide Nearsightedness Treatment?

Abiliti overnight vision correction lenses feature advanced treatment zones that reshape the cornea’s curvature, enabling light to focus properly on the retina, thus improving vision. Utilizing Ortho-K technology, these gas-permeable contact lenses temporarily reshape the cornea for better visual clarity. Think of it as "braces for your eyes" with two key goals:
  1. Managing Myopia.
  2. Slowing myopia progression by reducing the eye's lengthening.

These lenses work overnight, gently reshaping the cornea using fluid dynamics. This process corrects vision, with noticeable improvement often after the first night. Full stabilization usually takes 7-14 days, and the best results are typically achieved within three weeks.
