Contact Lens Prescriptions and Glasses Prescriptions
Contact lens prescriptions aren’t the same as glasses prescriptions. Glasses sit several millimeters away from your eyes, while contact lenses rest directly on them, meaning the measurements, fit, and power requirements differ.
Contact lenses can offer freedom, flexibility, and clear vision without glasses. A contact lens exam provides a tailored prescription unique to your eyes’ needs, giving you clarity and comfort in every lens you wear.
Our team makes the process comfortable and personalized, from your initial exam to ongoing care. Book an appointment, and we’ll help you find lenses that fit your eyes, lifestyle, and vision goals.
Contact Lens
Exams and Fittings
We measure the shape, curvature, and health of your cornea to provide a safe, accurate fit. During your visit, we’ll discuss your vision needs and daily habits, recommend suitable lens options, and provide an on-site fitting when appropriate.
After 2 weeks, we’ll schedule a follow-up checkup to confirm that your lenses feel comfortable, function as expected, and support long-term eye health.
Our Contact Lens Options
We provide a wide range of contact lens options to fit every lifestyle:
- Daily disposable lenses for convenience and freshness
- Bi-weekly and monthly lenses for patients who prefer longer wear cycles
- Rigid gas-permeable lenses for crisp, reliable vision
- Soft contact lenses for comfort and ease of use
Each lens type has unique benefits, and our team will help you decide which option works best for you.
Our Specialty Contact Lens Options
Some eyes need a more customized approach. Specialty lenses we offer include:
- Aspheric lenses for improved clarity and sharper focus
- Hybrid lenses combine the comfort of soft lenses with the sharpness of hard lenses
- Multifocal lenses for clear vision at all distances
- Ortho-k lenses are worn overnight to correct vision and control myopia
- Scleral lenses for patients with irregular corneas
- Toric lenses to correct astigmatism
Hygiene & Care for Contact Lenses
Wearing contact lenses safely requires proper hygiene and consistent care. Always wash and dry your hands before handling lenses, follow cleaning instructions for reusable lenses, and replace them on schedule.
Overwearing or improper cleaning increases the risk of serious eye infections. If you’re new to contacts, your first fitting will include hands-on instruction. We’ll show you how to insert and remove lenses, care for them, and recognize signs of discomfort.
We always take time to answer questions and provide guidance until you feel ready. Our 2-week follow-up helps us fine-tune your fit and check that your eyes are adjusting well.
