Fitted to Your Eyes —
Not Just Your Prescription

A glasses prescription and a contact lens prescription are not the same. Contact lenses sit directly on the eye, so a fitting includes measurements and an assessment of your eye health, tear film, prescription, and visual needs. We also evaluate how the lenses fit and move on your eyes to help ensure clear, comfortable, and healthy wear.

Daily disposable lenses are worn once and replaced with a fresh pair each day, with no cleaning or storage required. Reusable lenses are worn for a prescribed replacement period and require regular cleaning and storage. Both can be excellent options. We’ll recommend a lens based on your prescription, eye health, comfort, lifestyle, and how often you plan to wear contacts.

In general, contact lenses should be removed before sleeping unless you have been specifically fitted with a lens intended for overnight wear and advised that overnight wear is appropriate for you. Sleeping in contact lenses can increase the risk of complications, including eye infections. Follow the wearing schedule recommended by your optometrist.

Yes. Toric contact lenses are specifically designed to correct astigmatism and are available in many prescriptions, materials, and replacement schedules. A proper fitting helps us select a lens that remains stable on the eye so your vision stays clear and consistent.

Often, yes. Multifocal contact lenses can provide vision at distance, intermediate, and near, while monovision is another option for some patients. Because everyone uses their vision differently, we can assess your prescription and visual needs to determine which approach is most suitable for you.

Yes. Contact lens wear is not determined by age alone. Readiness depends on factors such as maturity, motivation, hygiene, and the ability to handle lenses responsibly. Contact lenses can be useful for sports, activities, and everyday vision, and certain specialty lenses may also be used as part of a myopia management program.

Specialty contact lenses are designed for visual or eye-health needs that may not be adequately addressed with conventional soft lenses. These include scleral and other specialty lens designs used for conditions such as keratoconus, irregular corneas, significant prescription requirements, or certain ocular surface conditions. These lenses require additional measurements and individualized fitting.

Possibly. Dry eye does not automatically mean you cannot wear contact lenses. Lens material, design, replacement schedule, your tear film, and the underlying cause of your symptoms can all affect comfort. We can evaluate your eyes and determine whether changing your lenses, adjusting your wearing habits, or treating the dry eye itself may improve contact lens wear.
