Start Your Path to Frame-Free Vision
You’ve got places to go and people to see, and we know that you rely on having clear vision to get things done. If you’re ready to ditch the glasses for frame-free vision, we’d love to help!
We consider every aspect of your life to match you with contacts uniquely suited to your needs.
Why Contact Lenses?
Contact lenses can provide clear, crisp, comfortable vision without the worry of storing or cleaning your glasses throughout your busy day.
Additionally, contact lenses can also address a range of eye conditions that can affect your eye comfort and sight. Check out our Specialty Contact Lenses page to learn more about these types of lenses and how they can benefit you.
Our Process
Before prescribing your contact lenses, we follow a comprehensive exam and fitting process to determine your candidacy and what type of contact lens may suit you best.
If you have any questions regarding your candidacy for contact lenses, please feel free to contact us.
The Exam
Eye exams are the cornerstone of all eye care. During your exam, we’ll determine your visual acuity, screen your eye health, and look for possible conditions that may affect your candidacy for contact lenses.
Some of these conditions may include:
- Severe dry eye symptoms
- Living in a dusty or dry environment
- Repeated eye infections
- Significant allergies
The Fitting
Once we determine your candidacy for contacts, we’re off to the fitting process.
During your contact lens fitting, we’ll use a corneal topographer device to map out your cornea’s surface and determine what type of contact lens will help you achieve the vision you’re looking for.
Some of the conditions corneal topography can help us detect include astigmatism, and early signs of keratoconus (thinning of the cornea).
Lenses to Suit Your Needs
Contacts lenses give the user the flexibility of full time or part time Use. Daily disposable lenses offering flexibility to wear for hockey and other sports, vacations, parties or just every day use. Daily lenses are available for almost every prescription, from astigmatism to multifocal lenses. We carry a variety of contact lens brands that can help address a range of eye conditions, like:
