Contact Lens
Refractive Error
We usually start the process of a contact lens evaluation with a through comprehensive exam and refraction. Here we use our computerized lens system to determine your refractive error (whether you are near-sighted or far-sighted).
Are Your Eyes Healthy?
Once we've establish the corrective errors of your eyes, we will determine if your eyes are healthy enough for contact lens use. Our doctors will do a detailed slit lamp evaluation of your cornea before any lenses are inserted onto the eyes.
The Many Different Choices
Together, we will determine the right contact lens for you. Many questions will be asked and considered. What do you want them for? Will you be using them everyday? Are they only for weekend wear? Any specific sports or activities? Are you over 40 and have difficulties with reading up close as well?
Contact Lens Fitting
At the conclusion of the comprehensive eye exam and once it is clear that you are the right candidate for contact lens, we will fit you with the newest and best lenses available today.
What Type Of Contact Lenses Are There?
Every eye is different. If there are a fair to high amount of astigmatism, you may be fitted a Toric lens. If you are 40 and over or has difficulty with focusing upclose, we can fit you with multifocal contact lenses or monovision. What if you only want to wear contact lens for recreational use and for only occasional use? There are daily disposable contact lenses now that come in many different parameters. And lastly, there are color cosmetic contact lenses for those you just want to have a little fun and temporarily change their eye color for the day.
