Contact Lens Exams
At Advanced Vision Care and Dry Eye Spa, we strive to meet all of your eye and vision care needs. Corrective lens evaluations and prescription management are provided by our optometrist in Tucson. After a comprehensive eye and vision evaluation, our team will discuss the variety of contact lens options with you to select the type that best fits your vision needs and lifestyle. If you suffer from dry eye, allergies, or recurring eye infections, speak with our staff to determine whether contact lenses are right for you.
Contact Lens Evaluation
Prior to prescribing contact lenses, our team of optometrists determines what level of vision correction you require. Refractive error (commonly known as nearsightedness, farsightedness, or astigmatism depending on the error) is evaluated by measuring how the eyes focus when a series of different lenses are placed in front of them. An optometrist may use either a phoropter or an automated instrument to take these measurements. To schedule an appointment for a vision evaluation with our Tucson optometrist, call or schedule an eye exam today.
Corrective Lenses
After determining the level of refractive error, we will work with you to determine whether contact lenses or glasses are best for your lifestyle. If you suffer from certain conditions, such as dry eye or allergies, glasses may be the most comfortable corrective solution. Contact lenses are available in either soft or rigid gas permeable form. Contact lenses need to be changed daily, weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly, depending on what type of lens you select. Specialized contact lenses, such as bifocal contact lenses, are also available for patients with special eye conditions.
Cosmetic Lenses
Advances in contact lens technology have created great options for cosmetic and prosthetic lenses. Custom contact lenses can be created to camouflage any color variation or irregularity and produce a natural eye color. Cosmetic lenses are also available to transform your eye color. Call our office to speak to our knowledgeable staff if you are interested in modifying or changing your eye color with contact lenses.
Hard-to-Fit Lenses
Human eyes come in many shapes and sizes, like our bodies, so fitting contact lenses is akin to tailoring an outfit. However, most patients receive properly fitting lenses by following the appropriate contact lens fitting steps.
