Contact Lens Exams, Fittings, & Brands in Pennsylvania

When light is refracted through your eye, you may experience spherical aberrations which can result in a loss of definition and clarity.

The eye has a natural mechanism to compensate for spherical aberrations; negative aberration in your cornea and positive aberration in your crystalline lens. With age, spherical aberration may increase, affecting your vision.

Aspheric contact lenses mitigate these aberrations, giving you clearer vision.

Toric contact lenses correct different prescriptions along the horizontal and vertical axis and are used to for people with astigmatism. They are designed with a specific shape and weight to keep them from rotating.

Multifocal contact lenses have multiple prescriptions to help wearers see at a variety of distances. Multifocals are used by people with presbyopia and are often recommended for myopia control.

Hybrid contact lenses are made of 2 distinct materials: a rigid gas-permeable center and a soft hydrogel skirt. These lenses offer stability and help people who may have trouble with regular contact lenses see clearly and comfortably.

Scleral contact lenses have a larger diameter than regular contact lenses. Instead of sitting on the cornea, a scleral lens sits on the sclera (whites) of your eye and vaults over your cornea. These contacts may be recommended for people who have corneal issues, such as keratoconus, that could prevent them from wearing traditional contact lenses.

Ortho-K (orthokeratology) contact lenses are designed to help reshape the cornea while you sleep, providing crisp, clear vision without the need for glasses or contact lenses during the daytime. Optometrists generally recommend Ortho-K contacts to help manage myopia progression in children and adults.

Transitions contact lenses dim in bright light and clear in low light, helping you achieve comfortable vision in almost any lighting situation, reducing glare and eye strain
