Contact Lens Service provides comprehensive vision care, contact lens fitting and progress visits. We offer a complete range of lenses, from the simplest cosmetic contacts to the most sophisticated therapeutic lenses.

Today's advanced technology allows millions of patients to wear contact lenses comfortably and affordably, achieving sharp vision without compromising eye health.

In general, contact lenses provide the following advantages:
  • Good peripheral (side) vision.

  • Excellent for active lifestyles.

  • Do not steam or fog up.

  • Improves one's appearance

Our expertise enables us to fit patients who are new to wearing contact lenses, as well as those who have previously failed with contact lenses. We offer the following cosmetic contact lenses:

  • Soft daily wear lenses

  • Disposable lenses

  • Planned replacement lenses

  • Colored lenses

  • Astigmatic (toric) lenses

  • Rigid gas-permeable lenses
At your contact lens evaluation you will be examined to see if you are a candidate for contact lens wear. This will include an updated eyeglass prescription, the measurement of the corneal curvature, a modified health assessment of the eye, and an in-office trial with diagnostic lenses.

Highly specialized services include fitting for keratoconus and Corneal Topography Assisted fitting of patients such as those who have undergone a corneal transplantation surgery.
