Eye Doctor in Lawrenceville, GA

If your child's prescription jumps every year, that's myopia (nearsightedness) getting worse. Gwinnett parents ask us about this all the time, and it's worth acting on: a stronger prescription in childhood means a higher lifetime chance of retinal detachment, glaucoma and damage to the center of the retina.

Dr. Mehdi Kazemzadeh ("Dr. Kazem") has fit DreamSculpt Ortho-K lenses for Lawrenceville families for years. Each pair of lenses is custom-made and worn only while your child sleeps. Overnight the lenses reshape the front of the eye, so your child goes through the day seeing clearly without glasses or daytime contacts. The overnight method behind DreamSculpt Ortho-K is also one of the most studied ways to slow myopia in children. Dr. Kazem starts with a corneal map and follows your child closely in the first weeks.

Barbra Williams, COT, COA, assists Dr. Kazem with Lawrenceville DreamSculpt Ortho-K and scleral lens fittings.

DreamSculpt Ortho-K isn't right for every child. Dr. Kazem also offers myopia-control soft contact lenses and specialty glasses lenses, and he'll help you weigh the choices.
