Contact Lenses
Contact Lens Fittings
We offer a wide selection of contact lenses and are experienced in determining the most suitable fit for each individual. We carry disposable soft contacts, including bifocal/multifocal, toric, and colored contact lenses as well as special order rigid gas permeables. Whether you wear your lenses daily, weekly, or monthly, we have a lens option for you and literally thousands of trial contacts to help guide the process. So you can rest assured you’ll be able to wear your new contact lenses in your own surroundings before committing to changes.
We welcome all patients, new and current, to discuss the possibility of contact lens wear to determine the best lens based on your lifestyle needs, as well as the shape and coexisting conditions of the eye. In most cases, patients have the opportunity to try lenses on the same day as their exam.
Our doctors and staff take the time to teach all our patients proper contact lens care. We guide new contact lens wearers through successful insertion and removal techniques until each patient can confidently handle their lenses. We then continue with long-term follow-up to monitor the health of the eye, comfort, and usefulness of contact lens choice, flexing to accommodate the natural changes in your eye care needs that occur with age, vocational shifts, new hobbies, or sports.
