Contact Lens Exams, Fittings, & Brands

Soft lenses are the most common type of contact lens and are made using hydrogel. They come in a range of types, from extended-wear to daily disposables.

Rigid gas permeable lenses are less popular than soft contact lenses but remain a viable option for patients with astigmatism or whose eyes that require breathable contacts that allow more oxygen to pass through to the eye.

Toric lenses are shaped to correct both the vertical and horizontal refractions in people with astigmatism. These contact lenses stop objects from looking blurred, tilted or stretched. Weighted to keep them from rotating and moving, toric lenses need to be specially fitted by your optometrist.

Multifocal contact lenses correct vision deficiencies without causing strain in other areas by combining the power of distance and near prescriptions into one lens.

For those who suffer from keratoconus or irregular corneas, hybrid lenses combine the comfort of soft lenses with the refractive power of rigid gas permeable (RGP) lenses. The outer portion is flexible, yet comfortable, while the inner portion is rigid creating a sharper image.

Aspheric lenses vary in curvature, creating a more specific focal point on the back of the eye. This enhances the quality of vision and increased depth of focus for myopic patients.

Scleral contact lenses are larger in diameter than traditional contacts. Instead of on the iris, scleral contacts rest on the sclera (whites) of your eyes, allowing it to “vault” over the cornea. These lenses are a great option for those with corneal issues like keratoconus.

Orthokeratology, or Ortho-K, contact lenses are specialty contacts designed to help manage myopia development. Ortho-K lenses work by gently reshaping your cornea while you sleep, helping you achieve clear, crisp vision without the aid of glasses or contact lenses throughout the day.

MiSight contact lenses are specialty contact lenses that help manage myopia in children. By using a refractive technique called peripheral defocus, light is focused just in front of your child’s retina, which prevents the eye from getting longer as they get older, greatly reducing how fast myopia develops.
