Gas Permeable Contact Lenses
We have the new ultra permeable lenses from Boston and Menicon. We stock many prescriptions for immediate fitting.
Astigmatism Correcting (toric) Soft Lenses
The Vision Center now stocks seven varieties of soft astigmatism correcting lenses. These lenses are now available in daily wear, flex wear and extended wear. Many patients have been told that they can not wear contact lenses due to astigmatism. This is no longer true. Almost any prescription can now be fit with comfortable and clear soft lenses.
Keratoconus
Keratoconus is an eye disease causing severe irregularity in the shape of the cornea. Eyeglasses will not work for this condition. Special gas permeable contact lenses are required to obtain optimum vision. The Vision Center has successfully worked with a great many keratoconic patients. This often very difficult fitting has been made far easier with the new computer systems in the office.
Keratoconus is considered to be a medical problem.
Your medical insurance will often cover all needed examinations and contact lenses.
