Find Freedom & Flexibility with Contact Lenses
Contact lenses can be a fantastic alternative for those looking for some freedom and flexibility from eyeglasses. Contact lenses have many benefits over eyeglasses, such as offering a wider field of view and clearer vision.
They also allow the use of specialized protective eyewear, safety glasses, or sunglasses without the need to purchase a variety of prescription glasses. With so many different types of contact lenses, there’s likely one that would fit your lifestyle.
Contact lenses sit right on the surface of the eye, so a comprehensive eye exam and contact lens fitting are essential to determine if contact lenses are a good option for you.
Contact us today to schedule your appointment and find out if contact lenses are a good option for you.
The Difference Between a Contact Lens Exam & Regular Exam
A contact lens exam is a comprehensive eye exam, but with a few extra steps. You will still receive the same tests and assessments you do during your regular routine exam—however, your eyes will also need to be evaluated specifically for contact lenses.
If you’re already a contact lens wearer, we check that your eyes aren’t being damaged by contact lenses and determine if your current brand and style are still meeting your needs. If necessary, we can recommend alternatives.
Your Contact Lens Fitting
The contact lens fitting involves a series of tests that assess the health of your eyes’ surface and take a tear film evaluation to determine that your production and quality of tears are enough to support contact lens use.
Contact lenses can aggravate certain eye conditions, like dry eyes. However, various specialty lenses can provide relief and comfort to dry or sensitive eyes.
Once we have assessed your ocular health, we’ll discuss your needs and lifestyle, including what you do for work and leisure. This process will help us determine the type and style of contact lenses that would benefit you most.
It takes careful measurement and expertise to find you the perfect pair of contacts. If you experience any issues with your current lenses, we can always adjust and use different brands or designs. Our goal is for you to be happy and comfortable in your new contact lenses.
Our team will show you how to properly insert, remove, and care for your lenses before sending you home with a trial pair. You will also be scheduled for a follow-up appointment to see how you and your eyes are adjusting to contact lenses.
We want to contribute to your eyes remaining healthy and your vision staying crisp and clear.
There are many different types of contact lenses, such as:
- Hard and soft options
- Disposable lenses that last a day, week, or month
- Extended-wear contacts you can sleep in
- Specialty lenses for hard-to-fit eyes
Specialty lenses are designed for various reasons, like toric lenses for those with astigmatism or multifocal lenses for those with different near and far prescriptions.
Whatever your lifestyle or needs, we’re excited to help you find a contact lens solution that works for you. To better meet your needs, we carry a selection of trusted contact lens brands, including Alcon, Bausch and Lomb, Acuvue, and Coopervision.
