Contact Lens Exams

Our highly skilled doctors specialize in helping hard-to-fit patients. We offer disposable soft lenses, scleral lenses, rigid gas permeable hard contact lenses, hybrid contact lenses or custom contact lenses to accommodate patients with spherical, astigmatism, multifocal refractive needs and custom fit various corneal conditions like dry eye, keratoconus, post-lasik ectasia or corneal scarring where vision may not be optimal with glasses.

Scleral Lenses

Scleral lenses are large diameter lenses custom designed to vault over the entire surface of the cornea and rests on the sclera “white part” of your eyes, allowing it to morph over an irregular cornea into a smooth surface to correct for residual refractive error. Additionally, the fluid reservoir that sits between the scleral lens and the cornea can provide relief for patients with severe ocular disease and may help the surface to heal. With proper fit, patient can achieve comfortable and clear vision with corneal conditions that may not be suitable for soft contact lenses.  

Conditions suitable for scleral lens:

  • Keratoconus

  • Corneal Cross-linking (CXL) complications

  • Intacs complications

  • Lasik, PRK, and RK complications 

  • Dry eyes

  • Pellucid Marginal Degeneration (PMD)

  • Sjogren’s Syndrome

  • Corneal scarring


Overnight Orthokeratology lens (OrthoK)

Orthokeratology is a surgical-free, completely reversible procedure to reshape the front surface of the eye while you sleep. The OrthoK lens is especially designed to fit your cornea, so the patient can have natural vision without glasses or contact lenses. The cornea shape and vision improvement will reverse back to baseline when you discontinue to wear your nightly OrthoK lens. Patients can expect improvement of vision from week one but it may take more time, depending on the patient’s prescription, to reach maximum final correction. When optimal vision is achieved during the day, the patient will wear the final retainer OrthoK lens nightly.

  • Convenient natural vision without day time wear of contact lenses or glasses

  • Non-surgical and reversible vision correction

  • Effective myopia management, especially in children*

  • Clinically proven treatment

  • Reversible, corneal shape completely returns to baseline upon discontinuing treatment

*An evaluation is necessary to qualify all patients if they qualify for this treatment option.


Contact lenses for Astigmatism and Presbyopia

Patients who have been diagnosed with astigmatism (corneas shaped more like a football) or presbyopia (reading glasses are needed to clear close-up vision) may want to consider contact lenses that will correct for these conditions. They are available in disposable soft contact lenses, rigid gas permeable hard lenses or scleral lenses.

What are some of the signs you may need these types of correction? Your vision with your current contact lenses feel more blurry then your glasses at all distances, and/or with glare and halos. Or you are having more trouble reading close-up clearly and efficiently with your contact lenses. Please call us for a consult if you are noticing a change in your vision lately.
