Contact Lenses

|
The longer I fit contact lenses, the more I realize that it’s as much art as science. What works best for one person, won’t work for the next. I take the time to carefully examine my patients eyes, learn their history, and match them with the right lenses. You can’t rush it. I take pride in providing a comfortable contact lens fit for each of my patients.

Rigid Gas Permeable Contact Lenses
Soft lenses may outsell them, but rigid gas permeable lenses work great for many of my patients. Compared to soft lenses, rigid lenses often provide superior vision, are easier to care for, and are less expensive. They can be designed in virtually any size, shape, and prescription.
Soft Contact Lenses
Soft contact lenses are popular among patients because of their comfort. Most people can wear them full-time immediately. Their fit prevents dust from gathering underneath as easily and they are harder to dislodge. They are available in dozens of materials and designs, as well as in daily and extended wear (overnight) options.
Silicon Soft Contact Lenses
Hyper oxygen transmitting lenses are extremely comfortable and safe to wear. They are great for people who dislike removing contact lenses. Problems I’ve seen with other contact lenses, like corneal swelling and clouding, have nearly disappeared for patients wearing silicon soft lenses.
Daily Silicon Soft Contact Lenses
These are especially great for children because they are the easiest lenses to care for.
Hybrid Lenses
Hybrid lenses offer the best of both worlds: the crisp vision of rigid lenses with the comfort of soft lenses. Patients with astigmatism and high refractive errors are great candidates.
