Choosing the Right Contact Lenses
When it comes to contact lenses, a careful evaluation of your eyes is important to help your optometrist determine which contact lens styles will suit your vision, lifestyle, and eye health. At Aylmer Optometry, we offer a wide range of standard and specialty contact lenses for adults and kids. We personalize our contact lens recommendations based on your lifestyle and vision goals.
Whether you’re looking to try contact lenses for the first time, or you’re interested in solving a problem with your current lenses, such as dryness, we can help match you with the right contact lens to fit your needs. Contact us to schedule your appointment today.
Contact Lenses Correct Various Vision Problems
Contact lenses can correct a range of refractive errors, including:
- Myopia (nearsightedness)
- Hyperopia (farsightedness)
- Astigmatism
- Presbyopia (age-related farsightedness)
Whether you are interested in finding a solution for astigmatism or you’ve noticed it’s getting harder to see while reading or using your phone, we’ve got options that can correct multiple prescriptions in a single lens, no reading glasses necessary.
The Contact Lens Exam and Fitting Process
Feeling good about your contact lenses is about more than just clear vision. It’s also important that the lenses fit comfortably and their maintenance fits seamlessly into your routine.
At Aylmer Optometry, our contact lens exam and fitting process is designed to help make sure your lenses suit your eyes and lifestyle perfectly. From evaluating your prescription to carefully measuring your eyes and testing a trial pair, we guide you through every step to achieve sharp vision and lasting comfort.
A comprehensive contact lens exam is the first step to finding your new pair of lenses. We evaluate your eyes for suitability, measure your prescription, and determine if specialty lenses are required. Your prescription for contacts differs from glasses, as contact lenses sit directly on your eyes.
Once we confirm you are a candidate for contact lenses, we take detailed measurements of your eyes, including curvature and corneal shape, often using corneal topography. These measurements are necessary for your lenses to fit properly, providing clear vision and lasting comfort.
We provide a trial pair of lenses to make sure they meet your visual needs and comfort preferences. You’ll wear the trial lenses for a few weeks, then return to our clinic for a follow-up appointment to discuss the fit and vision you’ve experienced.
If adjustments are needed, we will explore other powers, styles, or brands until the perfect fit is found.
Our Specialty Contact Lenses
We offer a wide range of specialty contact lenses for unique needs, including:
- Multifocal lenses: Correct near and distance vision in a single lens, ideal for presbyopia.
- Toric lenses: Designed to provide stable vision to those with astigmatism, available in soft or rigid gas-permeable options.
- Ortho-K/CRT: Rigid lenses worn overnight to reshape the cornea and correct myopia during the day. Changes to the cornea are temporary and only last while you wear the lenses.
- Scleral lenses: Larger lenses that sit on the white part of the eye and vault over the cornea for patients with keratoconus, extreme dry eye, or irregular corneas.
- Specialty lenses for dry eye or corneal irregularities: Rigid gas permeable and scleral designs for comfort and sharp vision.
- Transitions contact lenses: Photochromic lenses that darken in sunlight for UV protection and reduced glare.
