Are you tired of wearing glasses or contact lenses? Not sure if you want to have surgery to correct your vision? Vision Shaping may be just the solution! With Vision Shaping, you wear a retainer contact lens while you sleep to reshape the front surface of the eye (the cornea) for perfect vision during waking hours. Vision shaping is ideal for athletes, people who work in dusty or smokey environments and those who just don't want to wear their glasses or contact lenses anymore. Southaven Vision Center will be hosting an informational meeting about Vision Shaping in March. Click here to take our Vision Shaping survey about which evening is best for you to attend the meeting!
