Our staff is able to answer many of your questions and are available for ongoing contact lens instruction and training. To order contact lenses you may contact us at: contactlenses@lifetimevs.net

OPTOMAP RETINAL IMAGING

Lifetime Vision Source was the first practice in the State of Oregon to use the exciting new retinal imaging device, the Optomap Panoramic 200. We are concerned about retinal problems including macular degeneration, glaucoma, retinal holes or detachments and systemic diseases such as diabetes, stroke and high blood pressure. These conditions can lead to serious health problems including partial loss of vision or blindness, and often develop without warning and progress with no symptoms. Optomap is fast, easy and comfortable and will not require dilating drops (in most cases), which result in blurred vision and sensitivity to light.

CORNEAL REFRACTIVE THERAPY

What is Paragon CRT?

Paragon CRT is a specially designed oxygen permeable therapeutic contact lens used in Corneal Refractive Therapy (CRT).

What is CRT?

Corneal Refractive Therapy is a technologically advanced, non-invasive, non-surgical process, which reshapes the cornea while you sleep. You remove the lenses when you awake and are able to go throughout the day without any other correction.

Is Paragon CRT new?

While, contact lens corneal reshaping is not a new concept, Paragon CRT is the one corneal reshaping modality with proven safety and efficacy and the first to earn FDA approval for nighttime Corneal Refractive Therapy.

If you are skeptical about the long term effects of LASIK refractive surgery consider Paragon CRT as a safe effective alternative. For more information click to visit Paragon's website: Paragon CRT

Low Vision Services

People who have lost eyesight due to injuries or eye disease need special types of products to help them function as independently as possible. We offer a full range of these products through our office and through our Web Site under the OnLine Shopping section. Our paraoptometric staff are trained to demonstrate the use of some of these devices. They range all the way from a simple hand magnifier to a closed circuit tv system. In addition, we can direct those who have low vision problems to products that will help them carry on the day-to-day tasks which they are needing to perform. In some cases we can set up a program for the low-vision patient with the National Library of Congress to receive "books on tapes", which is a service for the blind.
