Comprehensive Eye Exams
Regular eye exams are an invaluable tool in maintaining healthy eyes by detecting and preventing
disease in both adults and children. Some diseases develop slowly without causing pain or vision loss.
Early detection of any problems can reduce the risk of further harm and allow for a choice of treatment
options. Part of your exam includes the following procedures: Slit Lamp Examinations, Dilated Eye
Exams, Refraction for Glasses and Contact Lenses and Glaucoma Pressure Testing as well as a series of
computerized tests to determine the health of your eyes.
Contact Lenses Exam and Fitting
In addition to providing excellent eye care, we are proud to offer comprehensive contact lens exams and
fittings. One of our top priorities is to offer you outstanding vision and comfort for your contact lens
needs. In addition to routine contact lens fitting, we also fit specialty contact lenses for patients with
unique visual demands or patients with diseased corneas. Our office utilizes disposable soft lenses from
Vistacon, CIBA, Bausch and Lomb and Cooper Vision. We offer custom correction in soft lenses designed
for high prescriptions, astigmatism and bifocal application. Because of their superior optics, rigid gas
permeable lenses are the perfect answer to correcting different aberrations presented by the cornea
and visual system. Rigid gas permeable lenses have been proven in numerous research studies to slow
the progression of nearsightedness in most individuals.
Low Vision Therapy
4. As part of our low vision therapy, we conduct low vision examinations for visual devices such as
telescopes, loupes, magnifiers and computers. Our office is committed to providing vision rehabilitation
for patients who have fully or partially lost their vision, who have no where else to turn or who had been
told by glaucoma/retinal specialists that they simply have to live with their vision loss. We understand
that each type of vision problem requires a unique therapeutic approach. Treatment plans may include
prescription of glasses, custom telescopic or microscopic glasses, therapeutic filters, full-spectrum
lighting and/or video magnification. Our goal is to maximize visual function for activities of daily living.
Keratoconus/Specialty Miniscleral Lenses
We offer specialized contact lens fitting and customized designed lenses to improve vision. Many
patients suffer suffering from keratoconus experience distorted vision with glasses and discomfort with
normal contact lenses. Dr. Knisley and her staff dedicates their time to customize the lenses for each
patient's specific needs.
Ortho-Keratology (Ortho-K)
Do you have mild to moderate nearsightedness and astigmatism? Do you want to control your eye
conditions in a safe non-surgical way and still enjoy 20/20 vision? Ortho-K may be your answer. The
ability to see clearly during the day without glasses or contact lenses at no surgical risk is now a reality.
Orthokeratology, also known as Ortho-K, is a treatment for myopia which utilizes specialized rigid gas
permeable contact lenses. These ultra gas permeable lenses gently reshape the front of your eye as you
sleep. In the morning the lenses are removed and clear vision is restored throughout the day.
Co-Management of LASIK Surgery
LASIK is one of the most popular, eye surgery choices for treating low-to-high levels of nearsightedness,
farsightedness and astigmatism. Dr. Knisley will work with you to determine if you are the right
candidate for LASIK surgery and if you are, what you need to do in order to have the surgery.
