Contact Lenses
Our optometrists Dr. Carla Sappenfield and Dr. Andrew Pisetzner fit patients for contact lenses.
Our goal is to provide patients with comfortable, safe, and effective long-term wear of contacts. We ensure this with our comprehensive approach to eye care. The shape and design of the eye vary from person to person; therefore, a precise contact lens fitting is crucial for optimal vision and health.
Types of Regular Contact Lenses
Thanks to the many advancements in technology, patients have numerous options to choose from to find the right contact lenses to fit their visual needs and lifestyle.
- Daily-wear soft lenses – Designed to be put in upon awakening and taken out before sleep
- Disposable lenses – Replacement schedules vary from daily to monthly
- Toric lenses – Designed to correct astigmatism
- Bifocal/multifocal lenses – Designed to correct presbyopia
- Tinted/colored lenses – Designed to correct vision and alter eye color at the same time
If you need a contact lens prescription, please mention this when you schedule your appointment. Prescriptions are valid for one year, and patients who wear contacts need to have a yearly ocular health exam and refraction to renew and update their contact lens prescriptions. If you require specialty contact lenses such as rigid gas permeable or scleral lenses, we can refer you.
