Contact Lenses

Advances in contact lens technology have created many options in contact lens design and fitting.

Contact lenses are relatively small plastic lenses which rest on the natural tears of the cornea. The lens, which drapes the cornea moves slightly with blinking providing an exchange of nutriments, waste debris and oxygen. A lens which is too tight (doesn't move) impedes the movement of tears, nutrition, oxygen, and removal of waste. A lens that is too loose may be uncomfortable.

There is a contact lens which can be designed to fit almost every eye. To determine the optimal lens the shape of your eye, tear consistency, lifestyle must be considered.

 

Corneal Refractive Therapy (CRT) is a FDA approved procedure, that molds or re-shape your cornea while you sleep eliminating the need of contact lenses or glasses during the day to see. When you wake up your vision is clear. The effect lasts throughout the day so that 90% of those treated see clearly all day. The effect is not permanent, if you stop wearing the lenses your near-sightness will return after 72hrs.

Who are good candidates?

• Patients who do not want LASIK or surgery for any reason
• Patients under the age of 18 who are not candidates for LASIK
• Patients whose prescriptions are changing
• Patients in their forties who want mono-vision

Lenses may be prescribed by:

Wearing Period Daily Wear for up to 18 hours or Extended Wear Silicone based lenses may be used for occasional overnight use. Call and schedule a trial fitting.

Replacement Schedule Frequent Replacement (daily), Disposable (weekly, bi-weekly, monthly, quarterly or yearly replacement).

Clarity Tinted for easy handling or to enhance or change your eye color.

Contact lenses are also prescribed by the material which they are made: Soft (hydrophilic) or Hard or Rigid Gas Permeable. Gas permeable contact lenses (GPC) provide the best, most stable vision. They are easy to care for, have less infections, and provide the most oxygen to the eyes. After the initial fitting, which is more difficult, they are less expensive since they are replaced less frequently. Major disadvantage initial comfort and foreign debris may get under the lens. With proper care these lenses can last for years. They take some time to get use to. Each lens has an advantage. Which lens is for you should be determined during a comprehensive examination.

Soft lenses are larger and more comfortable than gas permeable. Vision is not as crisp, the lenses require more care, and do not last as long. Each brand of lenses has different fitting characteristics, similar to shoes or ski boots. Getting the right lens requires skill, experience, time and luck. Some work better for dry eyes others for mild astigmatism. Contact lens prescriptions do not always match your eye glass prescription and the prescription in one lens design does not mean that the identical prescription will be another manufacturers design.  Learn more about insertion and removal techniques.

Hybrid lenses have a central gas permeable portion to give crisp vision (especially benificial in astigmatic patients and patients with high refractive errors such as myopia over 10D and hyperopia over 6 diopters). There new lenses seem to answer the problems of former lens designs.
