Do you want clear vision but don’t like wearing traditional eyeglasses? Contact lenses may be the choice for you! On top of their ability to provide you with crisp, clear vision, there are various contact lenses designed to help manage a range of eye conditions, like myopia!
Are you interested in contact lenses? Please, book an appointment with our team today!
Although contact lenses are a fantastic alternative to traditional eyeglasses, they aren’t recommended for everyone. To determine if you’re a good candidate for contact lens use, we will need to perform a comprehensive eye exam.
Common factors that could affect your ability to wear contact lenses include:
You will first need to have a comprehensive eye exam before we can fit you with contact lenses. During the eye exam, your optometrist will determine your prescription and decide if your eyes are healthy enough for contact lenses.
During the fitting process, our doctors will take detailed measurements of your eye’s corneal parameters, like its shape and size. Your optometrist will then fit your eyes with contact lenses, and make any adjustments to ensure they fit comfortably.
During the trial period, you will take a trial pair of contact lenses home to wear for a couple of weeks. Your optometrist will book a follow-up appointment to see how well you’ve adjusted to wearing contact lenses.
If everything is performing as expected, we can help you order a supply of your new contact lenses!
MiSight 1-Day disposable contacts are commonly used to help manage symptoms of myopia in children. The contacts use rings of peripheral myopic defocus to help slow down myopia progression while also providing clear central vision.
Orthokeratology contact lenses are used to help reduce myopia symptoms. These specialty contact lenses temporarily reshape the cornea while you sleep, allowing you to enjoy clear vision throughout the day without the need for contact lenses or eyeglasses.
Some people may find it difficult to wear contact lenses due to corneal conditions like keratoconus. Scleral lenses are designed with a larger diameter than traditional contact lenses, allowing them to sit on the whites of your eyes and “vault” over the cornea, providing comfortable vision even with a corneal condition.
Multifocal lenses contain multiple prescriptions to help patients achieve freedom from bifocal eyeglasses or reading eyeglasses! These contact lenses are also recommended for managing the myopia progression and need specific expertise to fit properly.
If you’re already a patient of ours, you can order your contacts here.
If contact lenses seem like the right solution for you, please book an appointment with our team for an exam and fitting!
Our optometrists have many options to choose from in fitting you with contacts. We fit more and more of our patients in daily contacts that are worn once and thrown away. They are the most healthy lens modality and provide the most comfort for our patients. These lenses are available for astigmatism and bifocal wearers.
