Discover Invisalens at Arizona's Vision
Invisalens is a revolutionary retainer lens prescribed to gently reshape your cornea while you sleep, temporarily bringing your vision back into focus. This FDA-approved orthokeratology treatment eliminates the need for glasses or daytime contact lenses for a day or two, giving you the freedom to enjoy clear vision naturally throughout your day.
At Arizona's Vision Eye Care Center, our experienced optometrists specialize in fitting Invisalens lenses for patients seeking a non-surgical alternative to glasses, contacts, and LASIK. If you're interested in this incredible advancement in eye care, we're here to guide you through every step of the process.
How Invisalens Works
Invisalens uses corneal refractive therapy (CRT) or orthokeratology (Ortho-K) principles to gently reshape the front surface of your eye while you sleep. Here's how the process works:
The Science Behind Invisalens
- Gentle Corneal Reshaping: Specially designed gas-permeable lenses gently mold your cornea overnight
- Precise Design: Custom-fitted lenses are precisely mapped to your unique corneal shape
- Temporary Effect: The reshaping is reversible and temporary, lasting for 1-2 days
- Continuous Wear: Wearing the lenses nightly maintains clear daytime vision
Your Invisalens Experience
Step 1: Initial Consultation
We evaluate your eyes, measure your prescription, and determine if you're a good candidate for Invisalens.
Step 2: Custom Lens Design
Using advanced corneal mapping technology, we create custom lenses precisely designed for your eyes.
Step 3: Fitting and Training
We fit your custom lenses, teach you proper insertion and removal techniques, and provide care instructions.
Step 4: Adaptation Period
Over 1-2 weeks, your vision gradually improves as your cornea adapts to the reshaping effect.
Step 5: Follow-Up Care
Regular checkups ensure optimal results and lens performance.
