Whether you're new to contact lenses or seeking better options for challenging conditions like keratoconus or presbyopia, we're here to help you see clearly and comfortably.
Soft Contact Lenses
Soft contact lenses are the most popular choice for vision correction, offering exceptional comfort and convenience. Made from flexible, breathable materials that allow oxygen to pass through to your cornea, these lenses conform to the shape of your eye for a natural feel.
Why Choose Soft Lenses?
- Immediate Comfort: Soft lenses adapt quickly to your eye, requiring minimal adjustment period
- Flexible Wearing Options: Available in daily, bi-weekly, and monthly replacement schedules
- Active Lifestyle Friendly: Stay securely in place during sports and physical activities
- Wide Availability: Extensive range of prescriptions including for astigmatism
Modern soft lenses feature advanced materials like silicone hydrogel that provide superior oxygen transmission, helping maintain healthy eyes even with extended wear. We'll help you find the perfect balance of comfort, vision quality, and convenience for your daily routine.
Multifocal Lenses
As we reach our 40s, nearly everyone experiences presbyopia—the natural age-related loss of near focusing ability. Soft multifocal contact lenses provide a seamless solution, allowing you to see clearly at all distances without the need for reading glasses.
The Multifocal Advantage
These innovative lenses incorporate multiple prescriptions in different zones of the lens, allowing your eyes to naturally adjust focus from near to far. Unlike progressive glasses, multifocal contacts provide:
- Uninterrupted peripheral vision without frame limitations
- Natural appearance without visible bifocal lines
- Consistent vision during activities and sports
- Freedom from constantly searching for reading glasses
Finding Your Perfect Fit
Success with multifocal lenses often requires a customized approach. We use advanced fitting techniques and offer multiple lens designs to ensure you achieve optimal vision at all distances. Our experienced team will work with you through the adaptation process, making any necessary adjustments to maximize your visual performance and comfort.
Specialty Contact Lenses
When standard contact lenses aren't enough, we offer advanced specialty lens options designed to address complex vision challenges and unique eye conditions.
Scleral Lenses
Best for: Keratoconus, irregular corneas, severe dry eye, post-surgical complications, corneal scarring
These large-diameter gas permeable lenses vault completely over the cornea, creating a fluid-filled chamber that provides crisp, RGP-quality vision with exceptional all-day comfort even for the most challenging conditions.
Corneal RGP Lenses
Best for: High astigmatism, patients seeking sharpest vision, mild keratoconus, those with protein buildup issues
Smaller rigid gas permeable lenses offer superior optical clarity and durability. For complex corneal conditions, sclerals provide similar optics with enhanced comfort.
Hybrid Lenses
Best for: Patients who need RGP-quality vision but struggle with RGP comfort, mild irregular astigmatism
Combining a rigid center for clear optics with a soft outer skirt for comfort, hybrid lenses offer the best of both worlds.
Myopia Control
Best for: Children and teens with progressive myopia (nearsightedness)
Specialized lenses including MiSight daily disposables and Orthokeratology (Ortho-K) overnight lenses can slow myopia progression by 30-60%, protecting long-term eye health.
Vision Solutions for Complex Conditions
Specialized lens fitting for patients with keratoconus and irregular corneas—often restoring vision beyond what eyeglasses can achieve.
Non-Surgical Vision Improvement for Irregular Corneas
Irregular corneas from trauma, scarring, surgery complications, or conditions like keratoconus and pellucid marginal degeneration require specialized lens solutions. We offer comprehensive fitting for:
- Post-Surgical Irregularities: Following LASIK, PRK, corneal transplants, or other procedures
- Corneal Scarring: From injury, infection, or disease
- Keratoconus and Pellucid Degeneration: Specialized fitting for these challenging conditions
- Irregular Astigmatism: When standard toric lenses don't provide adequate vision
Using state-of-the-art diagnostic technology, we can design custom lens solutions that vault over irregularities, create a smooth optical surface, and restore functional vision. Scleral lenses are often the gold standard for these conditions, but we evaluate each case individually to determine the best approach for your specific needs.
Keratoconus Management
Keratoconus causes the cornea to thin and bulge into a cone shape, making standard contact lenses and eyeglasses ineffective. We specialize in fitting specialized lenses for keratoconus including:
- Scleral Lenses: Our first-line recommendation for moderate to advanced keratoconus, providing exceptional vision and all-day comfort
- Custom Soft Lenses: Specially designed soft lenses for early-stage keratoconus
- Specialty RGP Designs: Including Rose K and other keratoconus-specific designs
We use advanced corneal topography to precisely map your corneal shape and custom-design your lens fit for optimal vision and comfort. Many patients with keratoconus who thought contact lenses were impossible achieve life-changing results with our specialty lens options.
Scleral Contact Lenses
Scleral lenses represent a revolutionary advancement in contact lens technology. These large-diameter gas permeable lenses vault over the entire cornea and rest on the white part of the eye (the sclera), creating a fluid-filled chamber that provides exceptional vision and comfort for even the most challenging eye conditions.
How Scleral Lenses Work
Unlike traditional contacts, scleral lenses don't touch your cornea at all. Instead, they create a protective cushion of sterile saline solution between the lens and your eye. This unique design offers remarkable benefits:
- Superior Vision Quality: The smooth lens surface and stable fit provide crisp, clear vision unaffected by corneal irregularities
- Exceptional Stability: Large diameter design means the lens stays centered and doesn't move during the day
- Severe Dry Eye Relief: The constant fluid cushion keeps the corneal surface hydrated all day long, providing therapeutic relief for patients whose dry eyes make other contact lenses intolerable
- Corneal Protection: The fluid layer acts as a therapeutic cushion for damaged or sensitive corneas
Ideal For
Scleral lenses are particularly beneficial for patients with keratoconus, post-refractive surgery complications, severe dry eye, corneal scarring, or other irregular corneal conditions. Many patients who previously struggled with contact lenses or had limited options find life-changing success with sclerals.
Corneal RGP (Rigid Gas Permeable) Lenses
Rigid Gas Permeable (RGP) lenses are smaller, corneal-fitting lenses made from durable, oxygen-permeable materials. While they require a brief adaptation period, RGP lenses offer distinct advantages that make them an excellent choice for many patients seeking optimal vision quality.
The RGP Advantage
RGP lenses maintain their shape on the eye, providing consistently crisp, clear vision that often surpasses what's achievable with soft lenses. Key benefits include:
- Sharper Vision: Rigid surface corrects corneal astigmatism and provides exceptional optical clarity
- Durability: Long-lasting lenses that resist deposits and maintain their optical properties
- Eye Health: Excellent oxygen permeability and minimal deposits support long-term corneal health
- Cost-Effective: With proper care, RGP lenses can last 1-2 years or longer
Who Benefits Most?
RGP lenses are particularly effective for patients with moderate to high astigmatism, those who need the sharpest possible vision for demanding visual tasks, or individuals who experience protein buildup with soft lenses. They're also an excellent option for patients with mild keratoconus or irregular corneas who may not yet need scleral lenses.
While there's typically a 1-2 week adaptation period as your eyes adjust to the firmer feel, most patients find RGP lenses comfortable once adapted and appreciate the superior vision quality they provide.
Hybrid Contact Lenses
Hybrid lenses ingeniously combine the crisp optics of rigid gas permeable lenses with the comfort and stability of soft lenses. They feature a rigid center zone for clear vision surrounded by a soft silicone hydrogel skirt that conforms to your eye.
Best of Both Worlds
- RGP-Quality Vision: The rigid center provides the sharp, clear optics of traditional RGP lenses
- Soft Lens Comfort: The flexible outer skirt offers immediate comfort similar to soft lenses
- Excellent Stability: The larger diameter stays centered on your eye, even during activities
- Easier Adaptation: Most patients adapt more quickly than with traditional RGP lenses
Ideal Candidates
Hybrid lenses work particularly well for patients with astigmatism who have struggled with RGP comfort, those with mild irregular astigmatism or early keratoconus, and anyone seeking superior vision quality without the adaptation period of traditional RGPs. They're also an excellent option for patients who have been unsuccessful with soft toric lenses but want better comfort than standard RGPs offer.
Pediatric Contact Lenses
Contact lenses can be an excellent vision correction option for children and teenagers. Many parents are surprised to learn that children as young as 8 years old can successfully wear contact lenses with proper training and supervision.
Benefits for Young Wearers
- Confidence & Self-Esteem: Many children feel more confident without glasses, especially during social activities and sports
- Active Lifestyle: Contact lenses eliminate concerns about broken glasses during play and athletics
- Better Peripheral Vision: Unobstructed field of view for sports and activities
- Myopia Control Options: Special lenses like MiSight and Ortho-K can slow nearsightedness progression
Is My Child Ready?
Successful contact lens wear depends more on maturity and motivation than age. Children who are responsible with their belongings, follow hygiene routines, and are motivated to wear contacts typically do very well. We provide comprehensive training for both children and parents on proper insertion, removal, and care techniques.
Safe & Age-Appropriate Options
Daily disposable lenses are often the best choice for children, eliminating the need for cleaning and reducing infection risk. For children with progressive myopia, we offer specialized myopia control lenses that provide clear vision while helping to slow prescription changes. We'll work with you to determine the safest, most appropriate lens option for your child's individual needs and lifestyle.
Orthokeratology (Ortho-K)
Imagine waking up with clear vision every morning without glasses or daytime contact lenses. Orthokeratology, or Ortho-K, makes this possible through specially designed therapeutic lenses worn only while you sleep.
How Ortho-K Works
Ortho-K lenses gently reshape the front surface of your cornea overnight while you sleep. When you remove the lenses each morning, your cornea maintains this new shape throughout the day, providing clear vision without any corrective lenses. The process is completely reversible and non-surgical.
Benefits of Ortho-K
- Freedom During the Day: No glasses or contacts needed for work, sports, or activities
- Myopia Control: Research shows Ortho-K can slow myopia progression in children by 30-60%
- Reversible: Unlike refractive surgery, the effect is temporary and adjustable
- Active Lifestyle: Perfect for athletes, swimmers, and outdoor enthusiasts
- Occupational Benefits: Ideal for professions where glasses or daytime contacts are problematic
Is Ortho-K Right for You?
Ortho-K is FDA-approved for myopia (nearsightedness) and works best for mild to moderate prescriptions, though higher prescriptions can sometimes be successfully treated. It's an excellent option for children with progressive myopia, as well as adults seeking freedom from daytime vision correction. The treatment requires commitment to nightly wear and regular follow-up appointments to ensure optimal results and eye health.
MiSight® Soft Contact Lenses for Myopia Control
MiSight® 1 day lenses are the first and only FDA-approved soft contact lens proven to slow the progression of myopia (nearsightedness) in children. These innovative daily disposable lenses provide clear vision while actively working to control myopia progression.
Proven Myopia Control
Clinical studies demonstrate that MiSight lenses can slow myopia progression by an average of 59% and reduce eyeball elongation by 52% compared to standard single-vision contact lenses. This significant reduction in progression can have lasting benefits for your child's eye health and future vision.
MiSight Advantages
- Daytime Wear: Unlike Ortho-K, MiSight lenses are worn during the day just like regular contacts
- Daily Disposable: Fresh, sterile lens every day—no cleaning or storage required
- Proven Effectiveness: Backed by extensive clinical research and FDA approval
- Simple Routine: Easy for most children to manage with daily disposable convenience
- Active Lifestyle: Perfect for sports, outdoor activities, and busy kids
Who Should Consider MiSight?
MiSight lenses are ideal for children ages 8-12 at the onset of myopia when progression is typically most rapid. They're particularly beneficial for children with a family history of myopia, those showing rapid progression, or kids who prefer daytime contact lens wear over overnight Ortho-K lenses. Early intervention with myopia control can significantly reduce the risk of high myopia and associated eye health complications later in life.
