A contact lens fit is more than a prescription
Contact lenses sit directly on the eye, so an accurate fit matters for comfort, vision and long-term eye health. We evaluate your prescription, corneal shape, tear film and wearing habits before recommending options.
If standard lenses have not worked well for you, our doctors can discuss specialty approaches and whether the Scleral Lens Clinic is a better fit for your needs.
Everyday lenses
Daily disposables and reusable lenses can be fit for a wide range of prescriptions, including astigmatism and multifocal needs.
When standard lenses fall short
If conventional contacts have not provided the comfort or vision you need, we can evaluate whether a specialty lens approach makes sense.
More choices make room for a better fit.
We fit contact lenses from four major manufacturers, giving us a broad range of materials, replacement schedules and designs to consider for your eyes and daily routine.
When the fine print starts feeling smaller.
Presbyopia is the normal, age-related loss of near focusing ability. It can make menus, phones and computer work harder to see—even if your distance vision is still clear. Needing reading help does not necessarily mean giving up contact lenses.
Clear, stable vision—with more choices than you may expect.
Astigmatism means the eye has different curvatures in different directions. Toric contact lenses correct those differences with powers built into specific parts of the lens and a design that helps the lens stay properly oriented as you blink.
There is no single best approach for everyone. We consider your prescription, eye health, visual demands and priorities, then refine the fit through real-world wear.

Good questions deserve clear answers.
Is a contact lens prescription different from a glasses prescription?
Yes. Contact lens fitting also accounts for the lens design, size, shape and how the lens behaves on the eye, so it requires an evaluation beyond the glasses prescription.
What if I have astigmatism or need reading correction?
There are contact lens designs for astigmatism and multifocal needs. Your doctor can discuss the tradeoffs and the options that fit your eyes and priorities.
What if regular contacts have never worked well for me?
Tell us what has been difficult—comfort, vision, dryness or fit. Depending on the cause, we can discuss other conventional designs, dry-eye care or a specialty lens evaluation.
