Amniotic Membrane Transplantation (AMT)

Amniotic Membrane Transplantation (AMT) is an advanced therapy for severe dry eye and ocular surface damage. It uses a biologic membrane placed on the eye to reduce inflammation, promote healing, and protect the cornea—especially when traditional treatments are no longer effective.

Stellest lenses

Stellest lenses are specially designed eyeglass lenses that not only correct vision but also help slow the progression of nearsightedness (myopia) in children.

Unlike regular glasses that simply improve how your child sees, Stellest lenses use advanced optical technology to address how the eye grows over time. This makes them an effective option for managing worsening vision in kids.

Myopia Control (Myopia Management)

Myopia (nearsightedness) is a common vision condition where children can see things clearly up close, but distant objects like the board in school or road signs appear blurry.

Why Should Parents Be Concerned?

Myopia is more than just needing glasses.

As it progresses, it can increase the risk of serious eye conditions later in life, such as:

  • Retinal detachment
  • Glaucoma
  • Cataracts

The higher the prescription, the greater the long-term risk.

What is Myopia Control?

Myopia control (or myopia management) is a proactive approach to slow down or even stop the progression of myopia in children.

Unlike regular glasses that only help your child see clearly, myopia control treatments are designed to:

  • Slow eye growth
  • Reduce worsening prescription
  • Protect long-term eye health

Early treatment is key—the sooner it starts, the better the results.

Signs Your Child May Have Myopia

Parents often notice signs once school begins. Watch for:

  • Squinting to see far away
  • Sitting too close to screens or TV
  • Complaints of blurry distance vision
  • Frequent headaches or eye strain
  • Reduced performance in school or sports

Myopia Control Treatment Options

1. Specialized Glasses (e.g., Stellest Lenses)

  • Look like regular glasses
  • Help slow myopia progression
  • Great for younger children

2. Myopia Control Contact Lenses

  • Worn during the day
  • Provide clear vision + control progression
  • Ideal for active kids

3. Overnight Lenses (Ortho-K / CRT)

  • Worn while sleeping
  • Gently reshape the eye overnight
  • No glasses needed during the day

4. Atropine Eye Drops

  • Used at night
  • Simple and effective option
  • Can slow progression significantly

Common Vision Concerns

What Is Astigmatism?

Astigmatism is one of the most common and treatable vision conditions. The issue is caused when an eye is not completely round. Those living their day-to-day life with an undiagnosed astigmatism may often experience blurred vision, along with frequent fatigue and eyestrain. Discomfort associated with the condition is easily taken care of with glasses or contact lenses.

What Is Dry Eye Syndrome?

Do you find that your eyes are frequently itchy, irritated, watery, or stinging? You likely have chronic dry eye syndrome (DES). In most cases, DES can be alleviated with the use of lubricant eye drops or artificial tears. If the problem persists, we’re happy to discuss alternative options with you.

What Is Presbyopia?

As we age into our 40s, we develop a greater difficulty with tasks (I.E. reading) where near vision is needed. There’s no need to worry about the development of Presbyopia — it happens to everyone! However, the problem can become a pain if you experience frequent headaches or fatigue. From bifocal and multifocal glasses/contact lenses to surgery, Eye Site Vision Care Center is dedicated to discovering a solution that’s in your best interest.

What Is Cataracts?

Cataracts is an eye disease that causes clouding in the eyeball, leading to mild to severe blurred vision. The condition is prevalent and begins to develop as we age. You can trust us to provide exceptional pre and post cataract surgery care.

What Is Diabetic Retinopathy?

Diabetic retinopathy occurs in people who have been diagnosed with type 1, type 2, or gestational diabetes. If you’re living with diabetes, it’s essential to schedule frequent eye exams as diabetic retinopathy can develop without noticeable symptoms.

What Is Glaucoma?

Glaucoma is the most common cause of blindness. However, the condition is preventable if it’s caught in time! Glaucoma is a complex disorder that requires careful consideration of each patient’s particular circumstances. You can trust the Eye Site Vision Care Center team to deliver the level of care you deserve.

What Is Macular Degeneration?

People aged 65 and older are at risk of developing age-related macular degeneration (ARMD), which can lead to blindness in severe cases. While there is no cure, we can take steps to stop the development of blindness in its tracks.
