Contact Lenses for Your Visual Needs
Contact lenses offer a new look and are a more viable alternative to glasses than ever with the evolution of contact lens technology.
Contact lenses can help correct refractive errors such as myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism, and presbyopia. Specialized options support even more eye conditions like dry eye disease and keratoconus.
Contact us to book your comprehensive contact lens exam to find the ideal contacts for your visual needs.
Contact Lens Exams & Fittings
Contact lenses are considered a medical device and it is crucial that they be fit by an eye care professional. Contact lenses are fit based on the shape of the cornea and the visual needs of our patients.
We take the time to fit you in a lens suitable for not only your vision but the comfort and health of your eyes. An experienced staff member trains you on proper insertion and removal techniques in addition to appropriate contact lens hygiene.
Follow-up appointments are scheduled with our team to determine the success of your contact lens fitting.
Types of Contact Lenses
The 2 main categories of contact lenses are soft contact lenses and rigid gas permeable (RGP) lenses.
Soft contact lenses offer a greater comfort level than RGP lenses and are ideal for intermittent wear. Soft contacts are also less durable than RGP lenses and require more maintenance.
RGP lenses correct most corneal astigmatism issues and are easier to care for than soft contact lenses. RGP lenses require a longer adaptation period and are more susceptible to foreign objects under the lens, such as dust.
Choosing a contact lens brand, wear modality, and fit is dependent on several factors:
- Eye health
- Lifestyle
- Lens wear frequency
- The shape of your cornea
Contact Lenses We Offer Include
- Spherical lenses (corrects only one refractive error, myopia or hyperopia)
- Toric lenses (corrects astigmatism and/or myopia and hyperopia)
