Our Contact Lens Exam
After completing your comprehensive eye exam, we can perform a detailed evaluation of your prescription, cornea shape, and tear film to determine exactly what level of correction your eyes require. Dr. Carpenter will measure how well your eyes focus and assess your eligibility for contact lens wear, since factors like dry eye, allergies, or recurring infections can all influence which types of lenses are appropriate. From there, we work with you to select the best material, wear schedule, and design for your lifestyle!
The Different Types of Contact Lenses
Not all contact lenses in Centreville are built the same. From soft everyday wear to rigid, custom-fitted designs, the right lens depends on your eyes' unique shape and needs. Here are some of the most popular types:
Soft Contact Lenses
Soft lenses are thin, flexible, and mold easily to the eye for exceptional comfort. Available in daily disposable and extended-wear options, they retain moisture well and allow ample oxygen flow, making them a great choice for most patients.
Rigid Gas Permeable (RGP) Contact Lenses
RGP lenses are firmer than soft lenses and don’t bend or flex the same way, while still allowing oxygen to reach the eyes. They tend to offer sharper visual clarity and resist deposit buildup better than soft lenses, plus they often require a short adjustment period.
Scleral Contact Lenses
These are larger, more rigid lenses that cover the entire cornea and rest on the white of the eye, creating a smooth optical surface. Scleral lenses are often recommended for irregular corneas or conditions that make standard lenses uncomfortable to wear or ineffective.
Hybrid Contact Lenses
Hybrid lenses take a rigid center and combine it with a soft outer skirt, which leads to highly comfortable and effective lenses. They require precise fitting but offer an excellent option for patients who need both more clarity and added ease of use.
We Also Offer Specialty Contact Lenses!
Beyond standard options, we offer specialty lenses designed for unique visual needs and preferences, all of which can be custom-fitted for you. Here are some additional options:
Contact Lenses for Astigmatism
These lenses are specially designed to correct the uneven corneal curve that causes astigmatism. Unlike standard lenses, they're precisely oriented to align with your eye's unique shape.
Multifocal Contacts
Multifocal lenses contain multiple prescriptions within a single lens, allowing for clear vision at near, mid, and far distances. They're a popular option for patients who want to avoid reading glasses.
Colored Contacts
If you’re hoping to subtly enhance your natural eye color or try something bold, colored contacts are available in both prescription and non-prescription options. In either case, they’re always properly fitted for you and safe for wear.
Monovision Contacts
Monovision lenses correct one eye for distance and the other for near vision, allowing your brain to adjust naturally between the two. This approach is especially helpful for patients seeking an alternative to reading glasses or multifocal lenses.
