Corneal Cross Linking | Contact Lenses

Remedies for Keratoconus

There is Hope for Irregular Shaped Eyes

If you have keratoconus we have options for your condition. Corneal cross-linking is a surgery which is akin to adding structural support to the cornea to prevent it from becoming too weak and distorted. It can help improve vision and prevent further deterioration of the cornea in conditions like keratoconus.

Though this is the most effective procedure to slow down or stop it from worsening, we also have specialty contact lenses to help as well.

Nearsightedness | Myopia Management | Orthokeratology | Atropine

Who is Myopia Management for?

Myopia Management is recommended for any child with myopia. This treatment is effective in slowing the progression of myopia in older children and young adults, when myopia is expected to progress faster.

We also provide Ortho-k, a system for adults that is an alternative to laser vision correction (LASIK) and provides clear vision without using glasses or day-time contact lenses.

I had a great experience at Cornea and Contact Lens Institute of Minnesota. I had a consult with them regarding an eye condition and was very impressed. The staff took their time assessing me and answered all my questions including going over all my options for treatment. I can't thank them enough for the help they gave me and would recommend them to anyone!

I had a great experience. The doctor was thorough and I felt heard. My contract lense prescription was adjusted perfectly. The glasses department helped me find the right glasses for my face in their limited assortment. Pricing was excellent.

As someone with very challenging eyes, especially when fitting contacts, I feel I finally found a place that was up for the challenge! Dr. Holland went above and beyond to find contacts that corrected my astigmatism and controlled a condition where the surface of my eyes gets a bit wrinkly. I need the contacts to keep the eye-surface in place so I can see clearly. I had gone to another clinic for years with the same conditions and not once, did that eye doctor mention these two options to correct my vision issues. Dr. Holland is innovative, creative, and very skilled at finding the right vision solution for everyone, no matter how much research he needs to do to accomplish that. The whole office has a friendly and super professional feel and every employee is more than pleasant and respectful. I highly recommend this Dr. Holland and his clinic and am so glad I found them! You will be, too!

I feel very well taken care of at the Cornea and Contact Institute. Dr. Pippin takes the time to truly care for my eye health and made me feel like a priority during my appointment—it never felt rushed. The front desk staff are always kind and welcoming, and the team that helps me pick out my glasses are wonderful. Thank you all!
