Contact Lens Fitting

Basic Soft Contact Lenses

Basic soft contact lenses are the most common type of contact lenses and are comfortable for most people. These lenses are available in spherical designs to correct nearsightedness and farsightedness, as well as in special designs for individuals with astigmatism. Soft lenses are made from flexible, breathable materials that conform to the shape of your eye, providing a secure and comfortable fit for all-day wear.

Multifocal Lenses

Multifocal contact lenses are designed for individuals who need correction for both near and distant vision, commonly for those experiencing presbyopia, a condition that affects vision as we age. These lenses have multiple zones to help you focus at different distances, offering a smooth transition between seeing up close, at arm’s length, and far away. Whether you’re reading, using a computer, or driving, multifocal lenses provide clear, comfortable vision at all distances without the need for reading glasses.

Specialty Lenses

For patients with unique vision needs or eye conditions, specialty contact lenses offer tailored solutions. These include:

• Scleral Lenses - Large-diameter lenses that rest on the white part of the eye and create a tear reservoir over the cornea, offering comfort and vision correction for individuals with irregular corneas, keratoconus, or severe dry eyes.

• Rigid Gas Permeable Lenses - Made from durable, breathable materials, RGP lenses offer clear vision and are ideal for people with astigmatism, keratoconus, or those who prefer a long-lasting, high-performance option.

• Hybrid Lenses - Combining the comfort of soft lenses with the clarity of RGP lenses, hybrid lenses feature a rigid center and a soft outer ring, providing excellent vision and a comfortable fit for those with irregular corneas or astigmatism.
  

• Ortho-K Lenses - Orthokeratology (Ortho-K) uses custom contact lenses worn overnight to reshape the cornea, improving vision by focusing light on the retina. This non-invasive treatment eliminates the need for glasses or daily contacts, offering a convenient daytime alternative. Click here to learn more about Ortho-K lenses.
