GP Specialists, a producer of orthokeratology products, has developed an advanced ortho-k lens design that has been shown to correct patients with high myopic powers. The new iSee Ortho-k lens is based on its FDA approved FARGO ortho-k contact lens. The iSee corneal reshaping design incorporates a more aggressive treatment zone that allows practitioners to treat patients with higher degrees of myopia, thus increasing the number of likely candidates for ortho-k treatment.
“I’m very excited to take what I have learned over the years and incorporate it into an advanced ortho-k lens design,” says Mark Cosgrove, director of operations at GP Specialists. “We are seeing some amazing results. I believe this design is unique in the industry, can provide faster results and also promote healthy long-term wear for the patient.”
Alice Cusner, OD, of Village Vision Care in Cranton, Mass., agrees with the amazing results and had this to say about her experience with iSee ortho-k lenses: “In only two weeks, I was able to correct a high myopic 9-year-old girl’s vision using iSee lenses. My patient and her parents are ecstatic!”
“We rebranded the FARGO ortho-k lens to the iSee ortho-k brand in an effort to make orthokeratology a more consumer friendly eye treatment solution,” says Cosgrove. “Hopefully the entire ortho-k industry will benefit from our marking efforts.”
The FARGO and now iSee brand ortho-k lenses are FDA-approved up to -3.00, while extended powers are manufactured as doctor customized designs. More information is available at www.gpspecialists.com or by calling 800.889.0379.
