Contact Lenses
 

Choices in Contact Lenses are limitless, ranging from 1 day use lenses to monthly replacement, from distance corrections to multifocal designs, from clear to color enhancing lenses as well as many specialty lenses. CRT lenses are one type of specialty lenses that improve nearsighted vision without daytime contacts or surgery.

Area ophthalmologists frequently refer patients to us for contacts. Some have had difficulty wearing contacts. Others have medical conditions that require contact lenses to see well enough to work or drive. These patients that are difficult to fit are some of the most rewarding patients we see.

Dr. Cacciotti has traveled nationwide to teach optometrists the intricacies of fitting specialty lenses, allowing our office to have access to the newest products, often before they are released to other offices.

Dr.Nakada has extensive training and experience in the art of Corneal Refractive Therapy (CRT). CRT is the process of using rigid contact lenses at night to reshape the cornea, eliminating the need to wear correction glasses or contacts during the day. It’s a great alternative to Lasik surgery especially for our young patients.

We prescribe the following lens types

Rigid gas permeable contact lenses: Many people do better with gas permeable rigid lenses. Certain prescriptions require a lens that is less flexible and can provide clearer and more stable vision. Your activities and your prescription will determine if this lens is better for you.

Astigmatic contact lenses: Toric or astigmatic contact lenses are now more readily available in a larger range of powers than ever before. Now more patients can consistently see clearer while wearing soft contact lenses. Not only are they available in bi-weekly and monthly lenses, but they are available in daily disposable lenses as well.

Digital Eye Fatigue Lenses: These soft contact lenses are worn by those whose eyes are uncomfortable while working on the computer. They help to focus the eyes better resulting in less eyestrain and consequently, less headaches, blurred vision and fatigue.

Tinted/Colored contact lenses: Would you like to change your appearance by enhancing your eye color with contact lenses? Alcon provides a large range of colored contacts to enhance light eyes or change the color of dark eyes while retaining a natural look. Vistakon has developed the Define contact lens that doesn’t change the color but enhances to the contrast between the colored iris and the white of the eye. It makes the eyes pop and look more youthful. Some call it the “eyeliner for the eye”. It gives a more youthful appearance by adding the contrast where age has taken it away.

Bifocal contact lenses: Many people who wear bifocals or progressive glasses are very happy with the recent developments in the multifocal contacts. They can be designed in either soft or gas permeable materials and give excellent vision for many distances. How it works depends on the manufacturer’s proprietary design. The doctors here at Dr C Optometry have extensive training in these lens designs and will find the one that works best for you.

Scleral contact lenses: When the shape of the cornea is irregular due to injury or disease, a scleral contact lens can act as a “new front surface” providing clearer vision. These contact lenses can be up to 18mm in size and rests on the white of an eye like a soft contact lens does. These contact lenses are used for conditions such as keratoconus, pallucid marginal degeneration and corneal transplants. They can also be used in cases of extreme dry eyes by constantly covering the cornea with fluid. Specialized training is needed to fit these lenses successfully. Our doctors at Dr. C Optometry have had that training.
