Contact lenses are incredibly useful at helping alleviate a wide range of vision disorders, including disorders related to refractive vision errors.

No matter what type of eye care you need, we'll point you in the right direction.
Do I Need a Contact Lens Exam?
A contact lens exam is necessary in order for your eye doctor to issue you a prescription to help improve your vision. Just like regular eyeglasses, contact lenses must also be properly fitted over your unique eye shape. This is because contact lenses are designed to act as an artificial layer over the eye, helping to focus light on the retina and produce clearer images.
During a contact lens exam, an optometrist can determine the best prescription to help you see better, as well as determine if you're a good candidate for contact lenses.
How Else Can an Optometrist Help My Vision?
If you aren't a good candidate for regular contact lenses, your optometrist can help you explore other options to improve your vision. Fortunately, there are many specialty contact lenses out on the market today that can improve your vision even if you have a pre-existing eye disease and can't use traditional contacts.
Some of these contact lenses include multifocal lens for older people with presbyopia, gas permeable lenses that allow oxygen to pass through to the eye, and scleral lenses that fit over the entire eye and help people with keratoconus. These are just some of the many options you can choose from to help you find your next pair of contact lenses.
