Contact lenses are mainly used to avoid having to wear glasses in the cases of farsightedness, nearsightedness, astigmatism, or bifocals. We fit all types of contact lenses and specialize in advanced lenses, especially with patients who have difficulty with dry eyes, keratoconus, or would like contacts.
Bifocal Contact Lenses
Very often, individuals who reach the age of 40 find it more difficult to focus at all distances and often notice when fine print begins to blur. This condition is known as presbyopia. When people develop presbyopia, they find they need to hold books, magazines, newspapers, menus and other reading materials at arm's length in order to focus properly. Presbyopes can opt for contact lenses, also known as bifocal contact lenses, which we have available in soft lens material.
Ortho-K Contact Lenses
Nearsightedness can be corrected when an individual sleeps, with corrective lenses known as orthokeratology, or ortho-k. Ortho-k is a special type of contact lenses that can be worn during the night time. It gently reshapes the surface of the eye so an individual can see clearly even after the lenses are removed. The effect is temporary, but is enough for a person to get through the day if the special lenses are worn each night.
