Since switching to the contact lens, I’m seeing better than I have in years. He has taken the time to really make sure that my vision is the best it can be when driving, reading and working at my computer. Irwin wasn’t just going to give me a prescription and send me on my way. I had never really thought about how limiting my sight was with only 1 eye looking through an eyeglass frame. He suggested a contact lens instead of glasses. But with only one good eye, mine couldn’t. He explained to me about how healthy eyes work together for good clear vision. Irwin, he took the time to really listen to me about my vision issues. Irwin has saved me money and given me many more years of comfortable vision, the latter being something other doctor's were not able to do. While expensive, long term I have no doubt that Dr. But my case is complicated and complicated is what this practice does best. If I was a regular patient without any unusual complications I would probably find a practitioner who accepts insurance or is less expensive. His staff was A+ and the whole experience was far above my experience with other nationally known U.S. and only had 10 days to get things right. Irwin did not rush, even though I had flown in from outside of the U.S. When fitting me with contacts, the process cannot be rushed and Dr. Irwin is without a doubt the most knowledgeable doctor I have seen in the 37 years I have had KC. I have advanced Keratoconus requiring special contacts which can be very difficult to fit. Not only was I shocked to be able to immediately wear contacts all day with no issues, the amount of time and care that was given to me by all the doctors to bring my vision to perfection was amazing!! I would highly recommend investing in your vision with Global Complex Care. After the dry eye treatments we moved onto the contact fitting. It took multiple months and treatments to prep my eyes for contacts, and while I had no determinable symptoms of dry eye before I began to worry that I just wasn't a contact candidate. When I first came into the practice it was explained to me that my problem was less of a contact problem and more of a dry eye problem. While I have tried contact lenses before, I have never been able to wear lenses longer than about 3 hours a day, which makes it almost pointless. I really have to have everything tack sharp. I am a photographer with a very picky eye.

PVR PROSE devices are unique to the patients. The PVR PROSE Treatment devices are filled with saline that creates a fluid reservoir between the lens and the cornea, which continuously bathes the corneal surface with oxygenated artificial tears. This avoids any damage to the corneal surface from the environment and also from the eyelids. The patients with PMD benefit from PVR PROSE Treatment as it vaults over the damaged optical surface. – Prevent damage to the corneal surface by guarding it against injuries from eyelids and environment – Support healing of the cornea and reduce symptoms by restoring healthy ocular surface environment – Improve blurry vision by transmitting a sharper image to the retina of the eye by masking the corneal irregularities The purpose of and benefits of PVR PROSE Treatment include: By sparing the cornea, it helps in avoiding any further damage to the corneal surface while providing a healthy environment for the cornea to heal. Sclera is relatively insensitive area of the eye. PVR PROSE devices spare the cornea and rest on the sclera of the eye. This gas permeable plastic allows airflow through it so that the oxygen can reach the ocular surface. These devices are made of plastic that’s permeable to gas. PVR PROSE devices are a size of nickel in the shape of transparent domes. PVR PROSE Treatment for Pellucid Marginal Degeneration (PMD) Some cases may also present with the diseases in only one eye. Pellucid marginal degeneration is characterized by bilateral clear ectasia (thinning) in the peripheral and inferior part of the cornea.

Rarely PMD can also present with pain and sudden loss of vision, which occurs with corneal perforation. Typically there is no pain in pellucid marginal degeneration, unlike keratoconus and there is only vision loss and no other symptoms of keratoconus too. Keratotorus is sometimes confused with keratoconus, however both are different diseases. Pellucid marginal degeneration (PMD), also known as keratotorus is a corneal degenerative disorder.
