Gambino Eye Associates Offers Revolutionary Method of Vision Correction While the Patient Sleeps  

FAQs About VST® Method

I’ve always been told not to wear contact lenses while I sleep. Are Bausch & Lomb VST™ shaping lenses safe?
Bausch & Lomb Vision Shaping Treatment VST™ shaping lenses are made of a material that allows oxygen to reach the eye, even while you sleep*. That’s why Bausch & Lomb VST® shaping lenses are approved for overnight wear. Plus, Bausch & Lomb VST shaping lenses come from the eye care company trusted by doctors and consumers for over 150 years.

*See Package Insert for complete instructions and important safety information.

Are the shaping lenses comfortable?
Yes. You barely feel them working. And because you only wear them while you sleep, you avoid discomforts sometimes associated with daytime contact lens wear—such as dryness at the end of the day.
 
And when I take the shaping lenses off, I’ll be able to see clearly all day? For how long exactly?
The treatment results are different for everyone. But if you wear your shaping lenses as prescribed, you should realize a full day of clear vision.
 
Can I see while I’m wearing the shaping lenses?
Yes. But shaping lenses work differently than regular contact lenses. A contact lens prescription works to immediately correct your vision to 20/20. But shaping lenses work by gently holding a corrective position overnight. While they’re in, you’ll be able to see well. But once they’re out, you’ll see even better.
 
Can I wear them during the day?
Even though you can wear shaping lenses during the day, their performance may differ. They are intended for overnight wear.
 
Are the shaping lenses hard to take care of?
They're as easy to care for as conventional contact lenses. Simply clean and disinfect them daily, then store them in their proper lens case. In addition, because they're usually worn while you sleep, there aren't any hassles or maintenance during the day — no adjusting, no rewetting, and no carrying lens cases or solutions.
 
What should I use to take care of my Bausch & Lomb VST shaping lenses?
For optimal results, use Boston Simplus™ Multi-Action Solution, from Bausch & Lomb, a one-bottle lens care system that includes a daily protein remover.

Vision Shaping Treatment VST™ Method

Bausch & Lomb Vision Shaping Treatment VST™ is an innovative process that uses customized shaping lenses to gently correct your vision while you sleep so you can enjoy crisp, clear vision while you're awake. It's a safe, gentle vision correction option.  And it produces amazing results: most patients see clearly without glasses or contacts, all day long.

How Does It Work?

Bausch & Lomb VST® process effectively treats nearsightedness and mild astigmatism.

With Bausch & Lomb VST process, you work in close partnership with your eye care professional. He or she will prescribe shaping lenses that are custom-fitted to the specific contour of your eyes. Every night, these shaping lenses gently reshape your eye to correct your vision while you sleep. They correct nearsightedness by reshaping the surface of the eye so that light focuses properly on the retina, instead of in front of it. In the morning, you take your shaping lenses out and see clearly and crisply all day long.

Are You A Good Candidate For VST?

Bausch & Lomb VST process effectively treats nearsightedness and astigmatism and is perfect for people with lifestyles where glasses and contact lenses can be problematic:

  • Athletes and others with active lifestyles
  • People (such as firefighters) whose profession requires hassle-free visual freedom
  • Because Bausch & Lomb VST process is safe and completely reversible, it's also an excellent option for people who aren't ready for or who aren't candidates for LASIK surgery.

Dr. Gambino has completed Bausch & Lomb’s Interactive Educational Program and is certified as an Vision Shaping Treatment™ practitioner.
