At our practice we strive to offer our patients the highest quality vision care and service. Each of our staff members are professionally trained to assist you in making informed decisions about what  products and procedures will best benefit you and your individual eye care needs.

Comprehensive  Eye Examinations

Picture
We take great pride in our level of professionalism when it comes to your visual examination. Walk-Ins are welcome or by appointment.

Our examinations include:
-Recording of 
  symptoms and visual history 
-An assessment of visual function (standard of vision & refraction) 
-Visual field assessment 
-Assessment of 
 binocular vision (stereopsis, muscle coordination) 
-Tonometry (pressure 
  testing) 
-Ophthalmoscopy (internal health assessment) 
-Fundus Photography 
-Visual Field Test
-Color vision assessment 
-Full advice with regard to ocular health, visual requirements 
in  relation to occupation and lifestyle. 
-Children are always welcome for 
their  examinations.
Further tests will be done as symptoms and findings dictate.

We do allow a minimum of 30 minutes to carry out your eye examination.

Designer Eyewear

Picture
 We take great pride in our collection of designer frame lines. We have 
  picked beautiful high quality lines from all over the world. Before we take on 
  a designer line we carefully inspect the craftsmanship and make sure price 
  justifies the product. Some of our lines are exclusive to us only and must meet 
  standards by the designer to assure their product is displayed in a 
professional  atmosphere.

Frame materials range from Titanium, Gold, Silver, Stainless  Steel, and high quality laminated plastics. We also carry 
bendable frames for  extra durability.

Understanding the need for budget conscious patients we  also carry value lines. These lines must also be made 
with quality in mind but  are more mainstream to the public making the price 
lower. We cater to all  patients and offer products in all price ranges.

Contact Lenses

Picture
We specialize in contact lens fittings of all lens types such as: 

Soft Contact Lenses 
Soft contact lenses are 
  made of soft, flexible plastics that allow oxygen to pass through to the 
cornea.  Soft contact lenses may be easier to adjust to and are more comfortable 
than  rigid gas permeable lenses. Newer soft lens materials include 
silicone-hydrogels  to provide more oxygen to your eye while you wear your 
 lenses.

Rigid Gas Permeable (RGP) Contact Lenses 

Rigid gas permeable contact lenses (RGPs) are more durable and 
 resistant to deposit buildup, and generally give a clearer, crisper vision. 
They  tend to be less expensive over the life of the lens since they last longer 
than  soft contact lenses. They are easier to handle and less likely to tear. 
However,  they are not as comfortable initially as soft contacts and it may take 
a few  weeks to get used to wearing RGPs, compared to several days for soft 
  contacts.

Extended Wear Contact Lenses 

Extended wear contact lenses are available for overnight or 
  continuous wear ranging from one to six nights or up to 30 days. Extended wear 
  contact lenses are usually soft contact lenses. They are made of flexible 
  plastics that allow oxygen to pass through to the cornea. There are also a very 
  few rigid gas permeable lenses that are designed and approved for overnight 
  wear. Length of continuous wear depends on lens type and your eye care 
  professional’s evaluation of your tolerance for overnight wear. It’s important 
  for the eyes to have a rest without lenses for at least one night following 
each  scheduled removal.

Disposable (Replacement Schedule) 
Contact  Lenses 
The majority of soft contact lens wearers are 
prescribed  some type of frequent replacement schedule. “Disposable,” as defined 
by the FDA,  means used once and discarded. With a true daily wear disposable 
schedule, a  brand new pair of lenses is used each day. 

Some soft contact lenses are  referred to as “disposable” , but actually, they are for 
frequent/planned  replacement. With extended wear lenses, the lenses may be worn 
continuously for  the prescribed wearing period (for example, 7 days to 30 days) 
and then thrown  away. When you remove your lenses, make sure to clean and 
disinfect them  properly before reinserting.

Lasik Vision  Correction

Picture
What is LASIK?
The cornea is a part of the eye that helps focus light to 
  create an image on the retina. It works in much the same way that the lens of a 
  camera focuses light to create an image on film. The bending and focusing of 
  light is also known as refraction. Usually the shape of the cornea and the eye 
  are not perfect and the image on the retina is out-of-focus (blurred) or 
  distorted. These imperfections in the focusing power of the eye are called 
  refractive errors. There are three primary types of refractive errors: myopia, 
  hyperopia and astigmatism. Persons with myopia, or nearsightedness, have more 
  difficulty seeing distant objects as clearly as near objects. Persons with 
  hyperopia, or farsightedness, have more difficulty seeing near objects as 
  clearly as distant objects. Astigmatism is a distortion of the image on the 
  retina caused by irregularities in the cornea or lens of the eye. Combinations 
  of myopia and astigmatism or hyperopia and astigmatism are common. Glasses or 
  contact lenses are designed to compensate for the eye's imperfections. Surgical 
  procedures aimed at improving the focusing power of the eye are called 
  refractive surgery. In LASIK surgery, precise and controlled removal of corneal 
  tissue by a special laser reshapes the cornea changing its focusing 
  power.

Austin Ryan Optika is affiliated with many surgery centers 
 throughout the tri-state area. We offer initial consultations to see if in fact 
 you are a good candidate for Lasik Vision Correction. If you are we can make 
the  arrangements for your surgery and will do all follow up consultations up to 
one  year.
