Are You a Good Candidate for Contact Lenses?

Most people who need vision correction are good candidates for contact lenses, but certain conditions like dry eye or allergies may affect lens comfort. During your eye exam, we’ll determine whether contact lenses are a good option for you and recommend the best type for your lifestyle.

Specialty Lenses for Unique Vision Needs

If you have a condition like keratoconus or need specialized lenses for post-surgical care, we offer a range of specialty contact lenses. These lenses provide sharp, comfortable vision for patients with unique eye conditions that can’t be corrected with standard lenses.

Types of Contact Lenses We Offer

We carry a wide selection of contact lenses to meet the unique needs of each patient. Our options include:

  • Daily Disposable Lenses: Convenient and easy to use, daily disposable lenses are perfect for those who prefer a fresh pair of lenses every day. No need for cleaning or storing lenses overnight.
  • Multifocal Lenses: These lenses allow you to see clearly at all distances, making them an excellent choice for patients with presbyopia.
  • Toric Lenses: Designed for patients with astigmatism, toric lenses provide clear, stable vision.
  • Rigid Gas Permeable (RGP) Lenses: Offering sharp vision and durability, RGP lenses are ideal for patients who need a more rigid lens for specific eye conditions.
  • Colored Contact Lenses: Enhance or completely change your eye color with our wide range of colored lenses, available in prescription and non-prescription options.

No matter what type of lenses you choose, we ensure a precise fit that provides maximum comfort and clarity.

Benefits of Contact Lenses

Contact lenses offer a range of benefits for patients who prefer them over traditional eyeglasses:

  • Clear, Natural Vision: Contact lenses move with your eyes, providing a wider field of view and more natural vision compared to glasses.
  • Convenience for Active Lifestyles: If you lead an active lifestyle, contact lenses are ideal. They won’t fog up, fall off, or get in the way during physical activities.
  • Aesthetic Appeal: Many people prefer the look of contact lenses since they don’t alter your appearance or block your face like glasses do.

At Victoria Village Optometry, we help you find lenses that fit your lifestyle and vision needs.

Contact Lens Fitting Process

The proper fit is crucial to both comfort and vision quality when it comes to contact lenses. During your contact lens fitting, we will:

  • Evaluate Your Vision: We assess your prescription and any specific needs (e.g., astigmatism, presbyopia).
  • Measure Your Eyes: We take detailed measurements of your eye shape, corneal curvature, and pupil size to ensure a perfect fit.
  • Trial Lenses: You’ll try on trial lenses to test the fit and comfort before ordering your final lenses.
  • Training: If you’re new to wearing contact lenses, we’ll show you how to insert, remove, and care for them properly.

We work closely with you to find the lenses that provide the best vision and comfort. If adjustments are needed, we’ll fine-tune your prescription or lens type.
