Keratoconus Treatment
Specialized treatment for keratoconus using scleral lenses and corneal crosslinking. Our Chicago-based optometrists provide personalized care for irregular corneas, offering advanced solutions that improve vision clarity and comfort. With one of Illinois' largest keratoconus clinics, we combine cutting-edge technology with decades of experience to manage this progressive condition effectively.
Scleral Lenses
Custom-designed scleral lenses for irregular corneas and dry eyes. These gas-permeable lenses vault over the cornea, creating a smooth optical surface that enhances visual acuity. Our optometrists use sMap3D technology for precise 3D mapping, ensuring optimal fit and comfort for patients with complex vision needs.
Orthokeratology
Non-surgical vision correction using custom corneal molds worn during sleep. This FDA-approved treatment reshapes the cornea overnight, providing clear daytime vision without glasses or contacts. Particularly effective for myopia control in children, our program combines advanced technology with personalized follow-up care.

I had the pleasure of being examined by Dr. Seth Sarai, OD on 15 July 2016, at the Hyde Park office. A very nice Dr. And I would recommend anyone who needs glasses or an exam should go there.
