Discover Comprehensive Contact Lens Care

Whether you're considering contact lenses for the first time or looking to update your prescription, we're here to help. If you're interested in wearing contact lenses, please let us know when scheduling your appointment so we can allocate sufficient time for your visit.

Before a patient can be fitted with contact lenses, a comprehensive exam is necessary. This exam is critical to ensure your eyes are healthy enough for contact lens wear and to rule out the possibility of any unsuspected, underlying conditions that may prevent contact lens use. Since a contact lens actually lays on your eye, it is important to conduct further tests as well as examine the fit of the contact lenses. Knowing about your lifestyle will allow us to make a better recommendation for the best type of contact lenses for you.

Most health insurance plans cover the medical part of your exam but do not cover the contact lens services. Your contact consult involves extra testing by our doctors to evaluate your contact lenses and eye health. The tests are necessary even if you wear contacts part-time or only to change your eye color. Evaluation during a contact lens consult may include: keratometry, detailed slit lamp exam, refraction over contacts, corneal topography, visual acuity with contacts and assessment of lens fit.

Types of contacts

Daily contact lenses are single-use disposable lenses designed to be worn once and discarded at the end of the day. They offer convenience and hygiene as there's no need for cleaning or storing, reducing the risk of eye infections. They also provide comfort and consistent vision, making them ideal for those with busy lifestyles or sensitive eyes.

Monthly contact lenses are soft lenses designed to be worn for up to one month before replacement. While they offer convenience and cost-effectiveness compared to daily lenses, users must consider the expense of cleaning solutions and the associated risk to eye health. Despite these factors, monthly lenses remain popular for their balance between convenience and affordability, requiring less frequent changes than daily disposables.

Toric lenses are specifically designed to correct astigmatism, a condition where the cornea or lens of the eye is irregularly shaped, causing blurred vision. Unlike regular spherical lenses, which have the same power throughout, toric lenses have different powers in different meridians of the lens to correct the uneven curvature of the eye. This allows them to provide clear and crisp vision for individuals with astigmatism.

Multifocal contact lenses often require wearers to compromise either their distance or near vision to some extent. While these lenses aim to provide clear vision at multiple distances, achieving optimal clarity in both near and far vision can be challenging. Some individuals may find that their distance vision is slightly compromised when using multifocal contacts optimized for near vision, and vice versa. This compromise is a trade-off for the convenience of not needing to switch between different pairs of glasses for different tasks. Despite this compromise, many people still find multifocal contact lenses to be a suitable solution for managing presbyopia and prefer the convenience they offer over single-vision lenses or glasses.
