Contact Lenses

Types of Lenses

Soft Lenses

These lenses are comfortable to wear and are designed to either be replaced monthly, biweekly or daily.  They can provide correction for most prescriptions including astigmatism. The newest technology includes newer materials which allow more oxygen to the eye allowing many patients the ability to wear contacts comfortably all day. 

Multifocal Lenses

The newest contact lens designs can correct vision for both near and far simultaneously. In many cases these lenses can reduce the reliance on multifocal glasses and reading glasses that are worn over their distance vision contacts

Rigid Gas Permeable Lenses

Although gas permeable lenses have been around a long time, the evolution of its material still makes it an effective contact lens solution today.  Soft contact lenses are not always the best fit for patients with higher prescriptions or patients with certain corneal conditions. The rigid material provides superior optical clarity for some patients. In addition, these lenses are gas permeable and allow for excellent oxygen transmission to the eye.

Scleral Lenses

Scleral lenses are larger in diameter than other contacts and the newest in contact lens technology. This special type of contact lens gives an effective prescription solution for patients with a variety of conditions for whom clear vision was not a likely possibility previously.
