Contact Lens Exams in Carmel

For patients with astigmatism, regular, single-vision contact lenses won’t do. But toric contact lenses with corresponding corrective powers unique to your eye dispel the blurry vision and eye strain. The basic design principle characterizing toric lenses from leading brands lies in making a contact lens that spins into place on your cornea.

An uneven corneal shape — which causes the refractive error — gets covered by the toric lens as it slots into place. They’re designed so that a marked portion of the contact lens anchors in perfect alignment with your astigmatism.

Every astigmatism needs a prescribed correction, and we fit your toric contact lenses bespoke to your cornea at each contact lens fitting.

Presbyopia along with myopia makes focusing on the road while driving and switching to reading a unique challenge. Fortunately, progressive glasses make seamless focal transitions for your eyes as they adjust to a different focal point. But the switch between prescriptive strengths rules out single-vision contact lenses.

Bifocal contact lenses can offer a balance between the need for far and close vision. But these lenses have a disruptive way of focusing light and images into the back of your eye. Research and development on contact lenses from leading brands has yielded multifocal contact lenses that smooth the “image jumps” present in bifocals.

A patient affected by presbyopia needs a prescribed correction, and we fit your multifocal contact lenses carefully at each contact lens fitting.
