Comprehensive Contact Lens Services for Clear Vision
If you want clear vision without glasses, contact lenses can provide the solution you’re looking for. Finding the right fit for contacts is important, and that starts with a thorough contact lens exam and fitting.
Your contact lens prescription is different from your glasses prescription. Because they sit directly on your eyes, we need to take specific measurements and complete tests that differ from the standard testing we do for comprehensive eye exams.
Using the information we get from your contact lens exam and fitting, our team can help you discover a glasses-free lifestyle. Book an appointment today to get started.
Can I Wear Contact Lenses?
Contact lenses can be a wonderful alternative to glasses, but they aren’t for everyone. There are several factors that can affect your ability to wear contact lenses, which include:
- A dry or dusty environment
- Specific corneal diseases and conditions
- Dry eyes
- Chronic eye infections
- Regular or severe allergies
In many cases, there are still options for wearing contact lenses even when you’re affected by the factors above. We can help you find the right fit for your needs.
What Happens During a Contact Lens Exam & Fitting?
During your exam, we’ll determine your prescription and take detailed measurements of your cornea’s size and shape. These measurements help us provide contacts with the right fit for your eyes.
We’ll also teach you how to properly insert, remove, and care for your contact lenses. Then, we’ll give you trials to take home and test out. When you return for a follow-up appointment, we’ll check to see how well you’re adapting to your lenses and make any final adjustments.
Our Specialty Contact Lenses
Many of our patients have unique needs, so we offer a variety of contact lenses. Some eye conditions, like severe astigmatism, dry eyes, or keratoconus, can make wearing standard contacts difficult. These specialty contact lenses provide additional options for those who may not enjoy wearing—or may not be able to wear—standard soft contact lenses.
When you visit us, we can answer any questions you have about these specialty lenses and provide guidance about selecting the right option for your eyes. Helping you see clearly, comfortably, and conveniently is important to us.
Regular contacts can cause distortion along the edges of the lenses for people who have a higher prescription. Aspheric lenses are designed to provide clear and sharp vision throughout the entire lens. They have flatter edges which can provide more comfort and reduce blurriness.
Toric contact lenses are designed for those with moderate to severe astigmatism. They have a design and shape that helps them maintain the alignment on your eye needed for clear vision.
Multifocal contacts can help you see at a variety of distances because they have multiple prescriptions in 1 lens. Multifocals are often used by patients with presbyopia—age-related blurry close-up vision—and are often recommended for myopia control as well.
Hybrid contact lenses are made of 2 distinct materials and feature a rigid gas-permeable center and a soft hydrogel edge. These lenses offer stability and can help patients who have trouble with regular contact lenses see clearly and comfortably.
Scleral lenses are larger than regular contact lenses. Instead of sitting on your cornea, these lenses sit on the sclera (whites) of your eye. These contacts may be recommended for patients who have corneal issues, such as keratoconus, that could prevent them from wearing traditional contact lenses.
Ortho-k (orthokeratology) lenses are designed to help reshape the cornea while you sleep, providing clear vision without the need for glasses or contact lenses during the day. Ortho-k contacts can also help manage myopia progression in children.
Transitions contact lenses dim in bright light and become clear in low light, helping you achieve comfortable vision in almost any lighting situation.
