Personalized Contact Lens Fittings

Properly fitted contact lenses are crucial for comfortable and clear vision. Our eye doctors take the time to measure your eyes and discuss your lifestyle to find the ideal lenses for you. We offer a variety of soft and hard contact lens options for all your vision needs.

During your fitting, we assess how your eyes react to trial lenses, ensuring they provide enough oxygen and move comfortably with your blinks. This process helps us determine the best fit so your contacts feel so natural you'll forget you're wearing them. For those in need of immediate solutions, we also provide same-day contacts.

We aim to ensure you see the world clearly and comfortably with contact lenses that fit just right, regardless of your vision needs or lifestyle.

Types of Contact Lenses

Every patient has unique vision needs, which is why we offer a comprehensive range of lens options, including same-day contacts, for immediate convenience.

Discover the Benefits of Soft Contact Lenses

Soft contact lenses are a popular choice for many people due to their comfort, flexibility, and ease of use. Made from materials that allow oxygen to pass through to the cornea, soft lenses provide a comfortable wearing experience, even for extended periods. Soft contact lenses are available in various options, including daily, bi-weekly, and monthly disposables, as well as specialized designs like toric lenses for astigmatism.

Daily vs. Monthly Contact Lenses

Ideal for those who prefer the convenience of fresh lenses every day, daily contacts eliminate the need for cleaning and storage. They are perfect for individuals with busy lifestyles, occasional wearers, or those with allergies. Alternatively, designed to be worn for up to 30 days, monthly lenses are a cost-effective option for regular contact lens wearers.

Multifocal vs. Bifocal Contact Lenses

Bifocal contacts have distinct zones for near and distance vision, typically with a visible line separating the two areas. Multifocal contact lenses offer multiple prescription zones to correct both near and far vision, providing a seamless transition between different distances.

Understanding Progressive Contact Lenses

Progressive contact lenses correct presbyopia, which typically develops with age and affects the ability to focus on close objects. Unlike bifocal lenses, progressive contacts provide a seamless transition between focal points, allowing wearers to see clearly at all distances. This design mimics the natural focusing ability of the eye, offering a more comfortable and natural vision experience. Progressive contact lenses are available in soft and rigid gas-permeable contact lens options.

Soft Contact Lenses

Soft contact lenses are made from flexible, breathable materials that conform to the shape of the eye, offering enhanced comfort and ease of use. These lenses are ideal for daily wear, allowing oxygen to pass through to the cornea, which promotes healthier eyes.

Soft lenses are available in various types, including daily disposables, extended wear, and monthly options. They are popular for correcting a range of vision issues such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism, providing clear vision and comfort throughout the day.

Rigid Gas Permeable Contacts

Rigid gas permeable (RGP) contact lenses are made from durable, oxygen-permeable materials that hold their shape on the eye, providing clear, sharp vision. Unlike soft lenses, RGP contacts offer more precise vision correction, particularly for individuals with astigmatism, irregular corneas, or other complex visual needs.

While they may require a longer adjustment period than soft lenses, RGP lenses are highly durable and resistant to deposit buildup, making them a cost-effective and long-lasting option for many patients. Their ability to transmit oxygen also supports better eye health during wear.

Bifocal Contacts

Bifocal contact lenses are designed for people who need corrective lenses for both near and distance vision, often due to presbyopia. These lenses have two distinct prescription areas, allowing the wearer to see clearly at different ranges without needing to switch between regular glasses and reading glasses.

Bifocal contacts come in both soft and rigid gas permeable forms, offering flexibility in material choice. They are ideal for those who want a seamless transition between distance and close-up vision while maintaining the convenience of contact lenses.

Progressive Contact Lenses

Progressive contact lenses provide a smooth, gradual transition between multiple vision prescriptions, offering a more natural visual experience than bifocals or trifocals. These lenses are perfect for people with presbyopia who need help seeing clearly at various distances, including near, intermediate, and far.

Unlike bifocal contacts, which have distinct zones, progressive lenses have no visible lines, ensuring a continuous field of vision. They are a great option for those seeking the convenience of contacts without sacrificing the benefits of multifocal vision correction.

Same Day Contacts

Same day contacts are a convenient option for patients who need new or replacement lenses quickly. Whether due to running out of lenses or needing an updated prescription, same day contact lenses can be fitted and dispensed during a single visit to the optometrist.

This service is particularly helpful for individuals with busy schedules or those in urgent need of lenses for a special event or travel. The ability to receive contacts the same day streamlines the vision care process, ensuring that patients don’t have to wait to enjoy clear vision.

Specialty Lenses For Unique Needs

Specialty contact lenses are designed to meet the unique visual needs of patients who cannot achieve clear and comfortable vision with standard lenses. Available in soft and hard contact lens options, they can correct irregular corneas, provide therapeutic benefits, and improve vision in cases where traditional lenses may not be effective.

Scleral Lenses

These large-diameter gas-permeable contact lenses rest on the sclera, the white outer layer of the eye, rather than the cornea. They create a tear-filled vault over the cornea. Here are some key points about scleral lenses:

Application: Ideal for conditions like keratoconus, severe dry eye syndrome, and other corneal irregularities.
Comfort: The size and design contribute to a stable fit, minimizing lens movement and providing exceptional comfort.
Vision Correction: Offers sharp and clear vision by effectively smoothing out corneal irregularities.
Protection: Helps protect the cornea from external environments and reduces the risk of corneal damage.

Ortho-K Lenses

Orthokeratology (ortho-k) involves using specially designed gas-permeable contact lenses worn overnight to reshape the cornea. This results in clear daytime vision without needing glasses or contact lenses to correct refractive errors like myopia.

Reversibility: The effects are temporary and reversible, making it a non-surgical alternative to LASIK.
Application: Primarily used for myopia control in children and adults.
Convenience: Eliminates the need for daytime eyewear, offering freedom for sports and other activities.
Long-Term Benefits: Has been shown to help slow myopia progression in children.

Post-Surgical Lenses

Post-surgical contact lenses assist individuals who have undergone corneal surgeries, like LASIK, PRK, or corneal transplants. These lenses aid in the healing process and improve vision quality during recovery.

Customization: Tailored to fit the unique shape of the post-surgical eye, ensuring optimal comfort and vision correction.
Healing Support: Protecting the cornea and maintaining a stable visual environment promotes healing.
Vision Enhancement: Helps correct residual refractive errors and irregular astigmatism following surgery.
