Contact Lenses
We provide a variety of contact lenses designed to meet your specific vision needs, including options for individuals with unique challenges like corneal irregularities, dry eye, astigmatism, and more. Whether you're new to contacts or have been struggling to find the right fit, we offer personalized exams and fittings to ensure you get the best possible vision correction.
Wide Range of Contact Lens Options for All Lifestyles
We offer a diverse selection of contact lenses, ensuring that there's an option for everyone, from those who need vision correction for daily tasks to those who require specialized lenses. Our experienced optometrists are experts in fitting even the most complex cases, ensuring a comfortable, effective solution.
Multifocal Contact Lenses for Presbyopia
As we age, our ability to focus on nearby objects diminishes, a condition called presbyopia. Many individuals in their 40s and beyond prefer to correct this issue with multifocal contact lenses, which allow for clear vision at both near and far distances. Instead of relying on reading glasses, multifocal lenses provide the convenience of clear vision for all activities.
Scleral Contact Lenses: Comfort and Clarity for Complex Cases
Scleral lenses are larger in diameter than traditional contact lenses, designed to rest on the white part of the eye (the sclera) rather than the cornea. This unique design creates a cushion of tears that helps improve vision and comfort, making scleral lenses ideal for those with corneal irregularities such as keratoconus.
Benefits of Scleral Lenses:
-
Enhanced Vision: Scleral lenses provide superior visual clarity by correcting corneal irregularities.
-
Corneal Protection: They protect the cornea from environmental irritants like wind, dust, and pollen.
-
Extended Wear: Scleral lenses can be worn for longer periods than traditional lenses, making them ideal for those who need all-day wear.
Prosthetic Contact Lenses: Improving Appearance and Comfort
Prosthetic or cosmetic contact lenses are designed to alter the appearance of the eye. These custom-made lenses can be used to cover discolored or damaged corneas, mask iris defects, or create a more uniform eye color. They are often used for cosmetic purposes but are also essential for patients with medical conditions that affect the appearance of their eyes.
Key Features:
-
Custom Fit: These lenses are tailored to match the unique shape and color of your eye.
-
Medical Benefits: Used to cover injuries or defects caused by disease or trauma.
-
Cosmetic Appeal: Ideal for those looking to enhance their eye appearance or for special effects in theatrical settings.
Ordering Your Contact Lenses
Contact lenses offer a wide field of vision, a natural look, and hassle-free benefits compared to glasses. Whether you’re correcting nearsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism, or presbyopia, contact lenses provide effective, clear vision. Unlike glasses, contact lenses don’t fog up, and they’re perfect for active individuals who don’t want to worry about damaging their eyewear during physical activities.
Types of Contact Lenses for Every Need
We offer a variety of contact lenses to fit different visual needs and lifestyles. Our optometrists will work with you to choose the best type of contact lens based on your prescription and preferences.
Soft Contact Lenses: Comfortable and Versatile
Soft contact lenses are the most popular option due to their comfort and ease of use. Made from a flexible, breathable material, they conform to the shape of your eye and are suitable for a wide range of vision corrections.
Rigid Gas Permeable (RGP) Lenses: Durability and Sharpness
RGP lenses are made from a firmer material that allows oxygen to reach the eye. These lenses are more durable than soft lenses and provide sharper vision. They’re a great choice for individuals with astigmatism, corneal irregularities, or those needing bifocal correction.
Toric Contact Lenses: Correcting Astigmatism
Toric contact lenses are designed specifically for those with astigmatism. Available in both soft and RGP varieties, these lenses offer clear vision by correcting the unique curvature of the cornea that causes blurry or distorted vision.
