Here Through Your Contact Lens Journey
Some people don’t like glasses when looking for a vision correction solution. The good news is that contact lenses can provide the same vision correction without the glasses.
Our team at Professional Eye Care offers comprehensive contact lens exams and fittings to help you find a safe and comfortable fit for your lenses. We offer toric, multifocal, and hybrid contact lenses.
We also offer a wide range of lenses from trusted brands and can help you choose the right style for your needs. Contact us to schedule your appointment today and get your updated contact lens prescription and fit.
Finding the Right Lenses
The contact lens process starts with a comprehensive eye exam to update your prescription and check for pre-existing conditions that may prevent you from being able to wear contacts.
Our team will then determine the best lens based on your lifestyle needs and the shape and health of your eyes. Sometimes, you can try lenses on the same day as your exam.
The Fitting Process
At Professional Eye Care, we use the iProfiler device from ZEISS for contact lens fittings. This system combines wavefront technology and corneal topography to create a detailed map of your eye’s unique anatomy. This allows us to:
- Identify corneal irregularities for a perfect fit, especially for those with astigmatism.
- Select the optimal lens design and material for superior comfort and vision correction.
- Minimize discomfort by eliminating issues like slipping and dryness.
- Achieve sharper vision through precise tear distribution under the lens.
We’ll also send you home with trial lenses so you can see how your eyes react to them and change them out if necessary.
Our Different Types of Contact Lenses
Contact lenses can correct refractive errors like myopia, hyperopia (farsightedness), presbyopia, and astigmatism.
We understand that every individual’s visual needs are unique, so we work closely with you to find contact lenses that support your vision, eye health, and daily lifestyle.
Multifocal Contact Lenses
Like multifocal glasses, multifocal contacts feature more than one prescription, providing a gradient of vision correction in one lens. They are typically prescribed to patients with presbyopia, a refractive error that affects near vision as we age.
Multifocal lenses can refer to any lenses with multiple powers, including bifocals, trifocals, or progressive lenses.
Hybrid Contact Lenses
Hybrid lenses combine a rigid center for exceptional clarity with a soft, comfortable outer ring, offering the best of both worlds. Thanks to the soft and flexible skirt, this translates to long-lasting wear, crisp vision correction, and all-day comfort.
If you have astigmatism, complex vision needs, or simply find soft lenses uncomfortable, hybrid lenses are definitely worth exploring. Ask our team for more information!
Toric Contact Lenses
Toric contact lenses are specialty lenses designed for people with astigmatism. They are custom-made to fit your eye.
Since toric lenses have different prescriptions along the horizontal and vertical axes of the lens, they must remain orientated correctly to provide clear vision. Because of this, toric lenses are weighted so they don’t rotate throughout the day.
