hydroplane over the eye, allowing tears and oxygen to circulate beneath. Dr. Singletary is the only doctor in eastern North Carolina who is Board Certified by the Orthokeratology Academy of America. He is North Carolina’s leading K-Vision (Ortho-K) specialist. His mission is to educate the public about the benefits non-surgical vision correction (K-Vision) has to offer. “Lasik surgery is not the only option for vision correction,” Singletary says. “There’s a less expensive, safer, non- surgical option that’s great for adults and children.” As Cumberland County’s only Behavioral Optometrist, Singletary is able to correct debilitating conditions by “training” the visual system. “I combine the art and science of Vision Therapy with the modern technology of K-Vision (Ortho-K) to arrest debilitating vision changes in children,” he says. It’s another reason why he is so excited about K-Vision. While wearing the lenses at night offers perfect daytime vision for adults, it’s also clinically proven to slow down nearsighted progression (myopia) in children. “And for some kids, I can stop nearsighted progression in its tracks,” he said. Who’s a candidate? K-Vision was originally designed for people who suffered from nearsightedness but new technology means it can be successful for those with a stigmatism or farsightedness, too. It’s the perfect alternative for those wary of LASIK surgery or who have already had LASIK but are still not seeing clearly. Millions of Americans received LASIK over the past 10 years but many are reporting that the surgery either does not last or has unintended consequences. Last fall, the FDA announced a collaborative study with the National Eye Institute and the Department of Defense to examine the potential impact on quality of life from LASIK. “Once you’ve had Lasik, you can’t go back,” Singletary says. And that’s the beauty of K-Vision. It is FDA approved … and reversible. That’s why Singletary feels comfortable recommending it to so many of his patients. It’s just one of the many services available at two businesses under one roof: Eye Medics and the North Carolina Vision Therapy Center. To learn more call 910.426.3937.
