Contact Lenses
See the World in a Whole New Way with Contact Lenses
Recent advancements in contact lens technology now enable many people, including those with astigmatism or bifocal needs, to wear contacts successfully. We prioritize personalized attention over a “one size fits all” approach to ensure your vision and comfort.
Routine eye exams lack the specific measurements needed for accurate contact lens fitting. We thoroughly examine your eye structures and medical history and use advanced tools to assess your corneas. This precise fit enhances both your current and long-term eye health.
Our doctors evaluate your visual needs, prescription, and eye health to recommend the most convenient, comfortable, and healthy contact lenses. Proper fit prevents issues with comfort, vision, and eye health, ensuring your vision remains excellent for years.
Silicone Hydrogel Lenses
Silicone hydrogel lenses are a newer category that provides significantly more oxygen to the eyes than traditional lenses. This increased oxygen permeability can help patients who are at risk of ocular health issues due to insufficient oxygen supply to the cornea. These lenses offer a second chance for many to continue using soft contact lenses by meeting their corneal oxygen needs, thus supporting better eye health and extending the usability of soft lenses.
RGP Lenses
For those struggling to find suitable lenses for their lifestyle, RGP (or “hard”) contacts offer superior vision but may take longer to adjust to in terms of comfort. Many users find them effective and prefer them over soft lenses.
Synergeyes Lenses
For those needing better vision or comfort than standard lenses provide, Synergeyes hybrid lenses offer a solution. Combining the sharp vision of hard lenses with the comfort of soft lenses, these lenses feature a hard center for clarity and a soft skirt for comfort. Available in designs for multifocals, astigmatism, keratoconus, and post-surgical needs, Synergeyes lenses cater to various vision requirements.

Bifocal & Multifocal Contact Lenses
Bifocal lenses feature two segments: one for distance vision and one for near vision, allowing you to switch focus between near and far. However, vision clarity might be compromised for intermediate distances. Multifocal lenses, including bifocals, trifocals, and progressive lenses, offer multiple vision powers. Non-bifocal multifocals provide a continuous range of powers, enabling clear vision from close up to far away and everything in between, allowing for smooth transitions between different distances.
Hybrid Lenses
Hybrid contact lenses blend the clarity and therapeutic benefits of RGP lenses with the comfort of soft lenses.
Toric Contact Lenses for Astigmatism
Toric lenses correct astigmatism with a custom fit. Unlike spherical lenses, they have an oblong shape to match the astigmatic eye and come in both soft and RGP materials, with soft lenses being more common. Toric lenses are designed to stay in place, but if they rotate too much, RGP lenses might be a better option, offering easier care after the initial adjustment period.
