| A Custom Stable Vision Project Success Story |
| |
|
|
|
| |
| |
| The Custom Stable Vision Project is aimed at lowering the
economic barrier many face when pursuing optimal vision.
We’ve partnered with generous donors to allocate $10,000
per year toward providing deeply discounted Custom
Stable lenses (up to 85% off) to those who otherwise
would not be able to afford them. Get involved and find out

| A 17 YEAR OLD PATIENT OVERCOMES
PROGRESSIVE KERATOCONUS WITH THE HELP
OF THE CUSTOM STABLE VISION PROJECT |
|
|
| |
Cade J Kowallis, OD
Roosevelt Vision Clinic
Roosevelt, Utah
June 15, 2017
Patient: SL, Male, 17 yrs old
History
SL has Unstable Keratoconus that has had a gradual progression over the last year.
Due to his lower income SL is unable to afford contact lenses and wears glasses that
only correct him to 20/50 in both eyes. He is continually progressing and before being
fit in the Custom Stable Elite was not legal to drive without restriction.
Indications
Progressive Keratoconus OU
Uncorrected VA (Distance and Near)
20/200 OU Distance: 20/70 OU Near
Device Parameters
Custom Stable Elite 8.23 15.8 -1.50 OD
Custom Stable Elite 8.23 15.8 -1.75 OS
Outcome
Patient initial acuity with glasses best corrected was a very iffy 20/50 with patient
reading very slow and squinting to obtain that acuity. With contacts he is a very solid
20/25 in both eyes and can almost see 20/20 with both eyes together.
How Did the Lens Improve Patient’s Life?
At the initial evaluation patient SL was very hesitant in his ability to see and function.
After fitting and being able to wear the contacts he walked taller and was much more
confident. He can now drive safely and function at a higher level. |

We are proud to promote Amigos Eyecare, a student
led organization at Pacific University College of
Optometry which provides medical eyecare to
underprivileged areas around the world. Averaging
seven trips worldwide per year, one of the slated
trips will be to Tanzania, east-Africa in December
2016.
With the assistance of the The Oregon Sight and
Hearing Foundation(a project of the Lions Club) and
many other groups which help to collect ‘old
glasses’, students and doctors are able to examine &
dispense glasses to those who would otherwise not
have access to medical eye care and vision services. |

| This is an area of the world with great need, many of the nomadic people (the Maasai)
have never seen a doctor of any sort in their lives. The amount of pathology & blindness
in Tanzania is staggering. Ultraviolet light exposure is the leading cause of cataract
formation, it can also contribute to macular degeneration and pterygium formation.
These three causes of blindness could be reduced significantly by wearing
non-prescription sunglasses. |
