Contact Lenses
You will quickly recognize that we go beyond the “one size fits all” approach.
Get your eye exam scheduled and one of our eye doctors will fit you with contact lenses that work for you!
Our doctors will thoroughly evaluate your visual needs, prescription, and long-term eye health to determine which brand and type of contact lens combines to provide you with the most convenient, comfortable, and healthy contact lenses available.
We fit all types of contact lenses including lenses for astigmatism, overnight wear, bifocal contact lenses, keratoconus and much more.
Daily Wear Contacts
The Ultimate in Freshness and Eye Health
When it comes to your vision, daily disposable contact lenses represent the gold standard for both convenience and ocular health. By starting every morning with a fresh, sterile pair of contact lenses, you eliminate the risk of protein buildup and lipid deposits that can accumulate on monthly or bi-weekly contact lenses. This significantly reduces the likelihood of eye infections and irritation, making daily contact lenses an ideal choice for patients with sensitive eyes or seasonal allergies. Without the need for a rigorous cleaning routine, your eyes stay brighter, whiter, and more comfortable from your first cup of coffee until the end of the day.
Unmatched Convenience for a Busy Lifestyle
Beyond the health benefits, daily wear contact lenses offer a level of freedom that traditional contact lenses simply can’t match. Forget the hassle of carrying bulky solution bottles or worrying about lost cases; with daily contact lenses, you simply wear them once and toss them at night. This “one-and-done” approach is perfect for active individuals, travelers, and part-time wearers who prefer glasses for work but want clear, peripheral vision for sports or social outings. It’s the ultimate low-maintenance vision solution—providing crisp, clear sight without the maintenance chores typically associated with contact lenses.
RGP LENSES
For those patients who have had difficulty finding lenses that provide optimal vision for their lifestyle, there are RGP or “hard” contacts. These lenses do provide better vision in most cases, but are often a bit more difficult to adjust to comfort-wise. We have many patients who are devoted to these lenses and so happy with them that they are unwilling to switch to soft contact lenses.
SILICONE HYDROGEL LENSES
Another category of lenses that are fairly new to the market are silicone hydrogel lenses. These lenses provide many times more oxygen to the eyes compared to other categories of lenses. The FDA has actually approved two types of these lenses for up to 30 days of continuous wear without taking them out of your eyes. Sleeping in lenses is not for everyone, but many of our patients wear them for that amount of time with great success. These lenses are actually providing some patients with a second chance to remain in soft contact lenses. If there is a significant risk of failing ocular health due to lack of oxygen to the cornea, then these lenses may provide the needed oxygen and therefore may extend a patient’s ability to remain in soft lenses.
SYNERGEYES LENSES
If the options above do not provide the vision or comfort levels needed to be a successful contact lens wearer, then we also have a hybrid lens called Synergeyes. This lens provides the good vision aspect of a hard lens with comfort levels similar to that of a soft lens. It is design with a hard center to provide good vision, but has a soft skirt around it giving it more of a soft feel. This lens comes in several designs, including Multifocals, Astigmatism, Keratoconus and Post-Surgical lenses. To learn more visit their website at www.synergeyes.com.
Scleral Lenses
If you want to wear contact lenses but have had trouble wearing them in the past — or you’ve been told you are not a good candidate for contacts — scleral contact lenses may be the solution you are looking for. Because of their size, scleral lenses are more stable on the eye than conventional GP lenses — so they are less likely to accidentally dislodge from the eye. This stability also can make them more comfortable than conventional GP lenses; scleral lenses provide initial comfort similar to soft lenses, especially for sensitive eyes or irregularly shaped corneas.
Some of the most popular soft contact lens brands available today are:
