ASTIGMATISM CORRECTING CONTACT LENSES
Contact lenses are available for patients with both low and high amounts of astigmatism. Depending on your prescription, you may have options in the “breathable” soft contact lenses, daily disposable contact lenses, or other specialized astigmatism-correcting lenses.
GAS PERMEABLE CONTACT LENSES
Gas permeable lenses have made many advancements over the years, and today’s choices include materials with greater breathability, better wettability, and superior comfort. Lenses are custom designed to fit your cornea and eye. They are a great lens of choice for those with high prescriptions, high astigmatis, or in need of bifocals.
BIFOCAL AND MULTIFOCAL CONTACT LENSES
For those in need of additional correction using bifocals or reading glasses, we fit the latest in multifocal soft and gas permeable lenses. Both designs offer good distance vision with the addition of improved intermediate and near vision for those who desire the convenience of bifocals without glasses.
We also utilize monovision fitting techniques, which focus your dominate eye for your distance prescription, and your non-dominate eye for your near vision. This too is a great option for those desiring clear far and near vision without the aid of glasses.
SPECIALTY CONTACT LENSES
For those patient with corneal disorders such as keratoconus, irregular corneas, post-surgical, or other corneal diseases, we fit a variety of specialty soft and gas permeable designs.
