CONTACT LENS CLINIC

The purpose of contact lenses is to correct or improve the vision of people with nearsightedness (myopia), farsightedness (hyperopia), presbyopia, and astigmatism. For people who are farsighted, images come into focus behind the retina; for people who are nearsighted, images come into focus in front of the retina. For both, the result is a blurring of vision. Lenses work by changing the direction of light so that images come into focus on the retina. The greater the index of refraction of the lens material and the greater the difference in the curvature between the two surfaces of the lens, the greater the change in direction of light that passes through it and the greater the correction.

Contact Lenses provide a field of view unobstructed by eyeglass frames. They do not fog up or get splattered, so it is possible to see well while walking in the rain. They are less noticeable than any style of eyeglass. Our contact lens department provides the following:

  • Scleral Lens
  • Soft Contact Lenses (Toric, Cosmetic, Prosthetic)
  • Rigid Gas Permeable (RGP) Contact Lenses
