A wide selection of contact lenses
Regional Eyecare’s wide selection of contact lenses includes disposable soft contacts, bifocal/multifocal, toric, and colored lenses. Whether you wear daily, weekly or monthly disposables, or conventional (vial) lenses, check out our selection of lenses at Regional Eyecare Associates. Our goal is to fit you with contact lenses that give clear and comfortable vision.
Establishing a Good Contact Lens Fit
It starts with a thorough eye exam to ensure the most up-to-date prescription and rule out any pre-existing conditions that could interfere with contact lens wear.
Why Do You Need a Contact Lens Exam?
A contact lens consultation is more than just an eye exam. It includes a discussion between you and your optometrist about your vision goals and lifestyle, as well as certain tests to measure your corneal curvature and pupil/iris size.
Fitting lenses to your lifestyle
We will determine the best fitting lens based on your lifestyle needs and the shape and health of your eyes. In most cases, you'll have the opportunity to try lenses on the same day as your exam. You may even go home with a few samples before making a final decision.
Follow up fittings
Our staff is available after the initial fitting if you need to make any necessary changes in fit or materials to get the best possible result. We teach all our patients proper contact lens care and also the possible consequences if proper care is not taken.
Specialty Contact Lens Fittings
Due to the individual eye shape, certain conditions or impairments, or the aftermath of surgery, some patients may require specialty contact lenses.
The following conditions may require you to need specialty contact lenses:
- Dry Eyes
- Astigmatism
- Giant Papillary Conjunctivitis (GPC)
- Keratoconus
- Pellucid Marginal Degeneration
- Post-LASIK or other refractive surgery
- Presbyopia (reduced near vision common in individuals aged 40 and over).
- Corneal Scarring
Scleral Lenses
One of the types of specialty contact lenses that we offer is scleral lenses. This type of large contact lens rests on the sclera and creates a tear-filled vault over the cornea. Scleral lenses are designed to treat a variety of eye conditions, many of which do not respond to other forms of treatment. Our optometrists are skilled and trained in diagnosing the conditions that might require the need for scleral contact lenses.
