Vision is the most important resource to see the world around you. That’s why in Manati Visual, doctors Angel Whatts and Noelis Cintrón, as well as the rest of our staff are committed to offering the most advanced and complete resources for the care of your vision. We have the latest technology and equipment for early detection of eye conditions.
Dr. Angel Whatts is the first certified WAVE contact lens designer in Puerto Rico and is a fellow of the American Academy of Ortho-K. During his 30 year career, he has developed the technique to fit contact lenses for patients with complex prescriptions. He has helped thousands of patients with irregular corneas such as Keratoconus, post corneal transplant, and vision complications after refractive surgery, to regain clear vision.
Keratoconus is a degenerative condition, that progressively thins the cornea, causing a bulging or cone shape. The cornea is normally smooth around, like a dome, however in Keratoconus, the cornea becomes very thin, irregular and starts to protrude like a cone.This protruding cone shape affects the central cornea and causes the vision to become distorted. Usually people with early Keratoconus, notice slightly blurred vision and consult a doctor for glasses.
The condition may go undetected for sometime. If the condition is not too advanced, soft contact lenses and rigid gas permeable lenses will provide superior vision correction than glasses. If the disease progresses, vision deteriorates, sometimes rapidly, and glasses can no longer help you. In advanced to severe Keratoconus, digitally designed rigid gas permeable lenses are certainly the preferred treatment of choice.

Some people who have had a refractive surgery procedure, may now be dealing with many different types of visual distortions and vision loss.
Some common symptoms can be:
Although currently there are no solutions to some of these adverse effects, custom made digital contact lenses or scleral contact lenses can, in many cases, restore vision and improve the quality of life. Dr. Whatts, and his team, are committed in providing excellent service and contributing to the effective treatment of your visual condition.
Dr. Angel Whatts is the first Puerto Rican to use WAVE DIGITAL lens technology for the visual rehabilitation of irregular corneas. This is the most advanced technology that exists for the design of custom made rigid gas permeable contact lenses.
