Book AppointmentYour Contact Lens Fitting Process
Before prescribing your contact lenses, we perform a contact lens fitting. During the fitting, we perform various measurements to find the right lens type for you. We also provide a thorough lesson on inserting, removing, and caring for your contacts.
We aim to help you feel fully equipped and comfortable with your new contacts so you can enjoy comfortable, clear vision.
How Contact Lenses Benefit Your Vision
Contact lenses help correct refractive errors such as myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness), presbyopia, and astigmatism.
Different specialty contacts can also help manage eye conditions like dry eye and keratoconus, allowing you to wear contact lenses comfortably. During your exam, we can review your lifestyle and preferences to determine what lenses are the best fit. Our team also uses optical coherence tomography (OCT) to ensure we get accurate measurements of your eyes.
The Different Types of Contact Lenses
Contact lenses fall under 2 main categories, soft contact lenses and rigid gas-permeable (RGP). Under these main categories are specialty options that we use to correct various vision problems and eye issues.
Scleral Contact Lenses
Scleral lenses are RGP lenses that sit on the sclera (white of your eyes), unlike traditional contacts that rest directly on your cornea.
Scleral contacts can be an excellent option for patients who have trouble wearing contacts due to eye conditions such as dry eye and keratoconus. These lenses vault over the cornea and allow for more space, providing extra breathability and comfort by creating a fluid reservoir between the lens and the eye to keep your eyes hydrated.
Multifocal Contact Lenses
Multifocal contact lenses merge multiple prescriptions to help correct vision issues such as presbyopia, hyperopia, and myopia. A bifocal lens features 2 different prescriptions in the same lens, a common solution for patients with blurry near and far vision.
With multiple prescriptions in a single lens, you can comfortably cycle through activities such as reading or driving without switching your contacts.
Hybrid Contact Lenses
Hybrid lenses feature an RGP center with softer edges made of hydrogel or silicone hydrogel materials. Hybrid lenses combine the comfort of soft contacts and the crisp vision of RGP lenses.
Hybrid lenses are also a good option for physical activity as they are larger with thin edges, making them less likely to fall out. New-generation hybrid lenses can also be a good option for patients with keratoconus.
