Securing an Optimal Contact Lens Fit at Advanced Eye Care Services
We offer a variety of special lenses to accommodate different vision needs, including patients with astigmatism. Our lenses include bifocal, multifocal, gas-permeable, and toric lenses. We also have contacts for patients with specific conditions such as keratoconus or dry eyes. It's important to note that having astigmatism doesn't necessarily mean you cannot wear soft contact lenses. Our range of lenses accommodates various vision needs so that you can find the perfect fit for you.
Answering Your Burning Questions: Do you wear contact to an eye exam?
For an effective, comprehensive eye exam, it's crucial that we assess your eyes in their natural state. Wearing your lenses during the contact lens test can hinder our ability to determine your contact lens prescription accurately.
Fitting lenses to your lifestyle: a Comprehensive Contact Lens Exam
Our fitting process involves determining the best lens based on your eye’s health, shape, tear film evaluation, and lifestyle needs. You will have the opportunity to test out a diagnostic pair of lenses prior to finalizing your choice. We then follow up after your contact lens eye exam to guarantee an ideal fit, instruct you on the correct lens care procedures, and uphold appropriate hygiene.

Daily Contact Lenses
Daily disposable contact lenses are an increasingly popular contact lens because they offer the same crystal clear vision as other varieties without the need for proper storage and cleaning at the end of each day. Daily disposables allow the wearer to simply throw away each pair of contacts before bed, and open a brand new pair the very next day to enjoy the benefits and comfort of clean, clear, crisp contact lenses.
Monthly & Bi-Weekly Contact Lenses
We also offer monthly contact lenses for those who prefer a more cost-effective option. These lenses can be worn for up to 30 days before needing to be replaced. They are easy to clean and store, making them a convenient choice for many of our patients.
Colored Contact Lenses
If you want to change your look or enhance your natural eye color, colored contact lenses are a fun option. We offer a wide range of colored contact lenses in various shades and styles. Whether you want to go for a subtle change or a bold new look, we have the perfect colored contact lenses for you.
Bifocal and Multifocal Contacts
Multifocal contact lenses give you added freedom over glasses and they allow you to be able to view any direction – up, down and to the sides – with similar vision. These contacts are ideal for patients who have presbyopia (age-related farsightedness) and require reading glasses for up-close vision. Bifocal and multifocal contacts reduce or rid the need for wearing reading glasses, making them a convenient option for patients above the age of 40.
Corrective Lenses for Hard-to-Accommodate Eyes
Perfect for people with busy lifestyles who want to avoid the inconvenience of losing or breaking their reading glasses. Bifocal and multifocal contacts provide the convenience of not needing to switch between multiple pairs of glasses for various activities.
With advancements in technology, bifocal and multifocal contacts now come in a variety of options to suit different needs and preferences. Some lenses are designed for daily wear, while others are meant for extended wear. There are also options for those with astigmatism or other vision issues. These lenses provide a comfortable and effective solution for individuals over 40.
The following conditions may cause a person's eyes to be "hard-to-fit":
- 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
The types of contact lenses that may be suitable for patients with these conditions include toric contact lenses, scleral contact lenses, hard contact lenses and rigid gas permeable (RGP) contact lenses.
By scheduling an appointment with Advanced Eye Care Services, you can receive proper care and guidance on the most suitable contact lenses for your individual situation.
