Services: Contact Lens
Contact lens technology is constantly advancing and the Doctors at A to Z Eye Care will make the recommendations that will be healthiest for your eyes and give you the best vision possible! Our Doctors are able to fit contact lenses to correct all types of vision (nearsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism and presbyopia). We also fit Corneal Refractive Therapy (CRT) lenses.
Disposable Soft Contact Lenses are comfortable even upon first insertion because they are large and flexible. Non-Disposable Gas Permeable Lenses enable superb vision with minimal maintenance. New computer generated NDGP designs are easier to care for and are less expensive over time than soft lenses. You will work with the Doctor and Contact Lens Technician to determine which design best suits your needs.
Contact Lens Initial Fitting
In addition to a comprehensive eye examination the Doctor and Contact Lens Technician need to evaluate the health of your corneas and analyze the tear film layer to ensure comfortable lens wear annually. On the first day of a fitting the contact lens professional will evaluate lens alignment and vision with trial contacts. The training process includes insertion and removal as well as understanding of the cleaning and care of the lenses.
Contact Lens Re-Fittings
A re-fitting is recommended every few years to take advantage of new technology. A refitting is the same as previously explained but with a reduced fee since patients have had success with contact lenses and understand handling and care. The reduced fee reflects less time needed. Patients will be fit with new lenses while in the office. Necessary follow up appointments will be made to ensure that you can achieve the best vision and most comfortable fit possible.
Annual Contact Lens Evaluations
An annual contact lens evaluation is necessary to ensure continuing optimal fit and clear vision. Changes in lens powers and renewal of the one year contact lens prescription are the benefits of this contact lens evaluation in addition to your annual eye examination.
