Our Contact Lens Process

Finding the right lenses for our patients is a multi-step process. 

First, if you have not had an exam in 2 years, we advise you to have one. The next step is a contact lens evaluation. We will discuss your lifestyle, previous experience with contact lenses, vision needs and expectations. We will examine and measure eyes with technology like the iProfiler, an instrument which measures the size and the shape of your eye, telling us what your prescription is and why, as well as what shape or design of contact should best fit your eye.

The FireFly slit lamp, which is an instrument that helps us analyze the health of the front surface of the eye and evaluate the tear film to determine the best material and design of contact for your eyes. After discussing your options, we can often place some trial lenses on your eyes so you can experience how they feel and how it is to see with them.

We then answer any questions you may have, and if you decide to proceed with the fitting, we will train you in the care and handling of your new lenses. If you are comfortable with this step, we can send you home with your new lenses.

Our team will schedule follow-up visits based on your success and if we have to change anything to improve your experience.

Our Contact Lenses

We’re proud to offer a wide range of contact lenses at our practice. Your contacts don’t need to be traditional soft or hard lenses—we have something for everyone, including multifocal, scleral, and hybrid lenses. 

Our team can recommend the right contacts for your needs after completing a contact lens evaluation.

Custom Contact Lenses for Keratoconus

Keratoconus causes the cornea to bulge forward in a cone-like shape, making it difficult to wear traditional contact lenses. We can help you enjoy comfortable vision with customized lenses.

Rigid gas permeable lenses are hard material contacts that provide clear and comfortable vision. They don’t bend or change shape, helping correct an irregular cornea. Previous research shows these lenses can help patients with keratoconus enjoy clear vision.

Multifocal soft contact lenses have different prescriptions throughout the lens.

One of the designs that works well for slowing the progression of myopia is similar to a bullseye, with the center focused for distance vision and the periphery focused for near vision. This design creates a blur on the peripheral retina, which can slow the eye’s growth and limit myopia progression.

We offer Biofinity and NaturalVue multifocal contacts at our practice for this purpose.

Orthokeratology (ortho-k) is a corneal reshaping lens for correcting vision. You remove these lenses in the morning and enjoy clear vision without glasses. They gently reshape the cornea as you sleep, improving how light focuses as it enters the eye.

Additionally, these lenses can be beneficial for myopia control in children.

Scleral lenses are large-diameter contacts that rest on your sclera, the white of your eye. These lenses vault over the cornea, making them comfortable and ideal for patients with keratoconus or hard-to-fit eyes.

Additionally, these lenses create a fluid reservoir between the back of the lens and the eye’s surface, helping hydrate the eyes. This reservoir makes scleral lenses beneficial for dry eyes.

SynergEyes hybrid lenses offer the best of both worlds with their lens material. Hybrid contact lenses have a rigid gas permeable center and a soft outer portion.

They combine the crisp, clear sight of hard contact lenses with the comfort of soft lenses.
