For Comfort, Clarity, & Convenience, Try Contact Lenses

About 75% of our country’s adult population uses prescription lenses, but not every type of lens is right for every kind of lifestyle. If you’re looking for freedom from traditional eyeglasses and frames in Florida without sacrificing the quality of your sight, contact lenses may be the choice for you.

By staying updated on the ever-evolving technology of contact lenses, we can help provide you with clear, comfortable vision wherever life takes you.

Lenses for Every Need

Contact lenses have changed over the years. Earlier versions of contacts only corrected refractive errors like nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. In contrast, modern contacts can now address various eye conditions while still providing the clear, comfortable vision you need.

Even if you have corneal conditions like keratoconus or struggle with the discomfort of dry eye, we can offer several types of contact lenses. Our technologically advanced exam and fitting processes take a deep look at your eyes and their needs, giving us the information to determine the best lenses for you.

It’s time to see the difference contact lenses can make in your life.

Specialty Lens Types

We’re proud to offer several types of contact lenses. If you need any specialty lenses, we’ll be happy to order them.

Different types of contact lenses can also be worn for different lengths of time, like:

Disposable (used once and thrown away)
Daily wear (removed nightly)
Extended wear (removed after 7 days)

We can discuss your options at your appointment. For the clearest, most comfortable vision possible, please see our team at Lake Eye Associates in Florida for an exam and fitting.

Take a look at some of our featured lens types, as well!

Rigid Gas-Permeable Lenses

Rigid gas-permeable (RGP) contact lenses are made from plastic materials that allow oxygen to pass through and reach your eye surface. Oxygen can help ease some discomfort related to dry eye or other corneal conditions.

RGP lenses are known for providing sharper vision compared to other types of contacts.

Scleral Lenses

If you struggle with corneal issues like keratoconus, you may find it difficult to wear traditional contact lenses comfortably. Scleral lenses are larger than average contacts, allowing them to rest on the sclera (whites) of your eyes and “vault” over your cornea’s surface.

Scleral lenses make it easier to achieve clear, comfortable vision without affecting any corneal conditions you may have.

Rose-K Lenses

Keratoconus is an issue that thins your cornea over time, causing it to protrude outwards and affect your visual clarity. However, Rose-K contact lenses could help you achieve the clear vision you need.

Rose-K contacts are created using computer-imaging technology to fit your eyes and your unique case of keratoconus.

Studies have shown that Rose-K contacts can bring clearer vision to 100% of people with moderate keratoconus and 96% with severe keratoconus.

Hybrid Lenses

Hybrid lenses use 2 different materials to help combine the benefits of both rigid gas-permeable and soft contact lenses.

The center of the lens uses RGP materials to provide you with sharper vision, while a soft hydrogel skirt helps ensure they remain comfortable all day long.

The Eye Exam

Before we can prescribe a pair of contact lenses, we’ll need to examine your eyes. While more people than ever can wear contact lenses, some issues may affect your candidacy, like:

Dry eye symptoms
Frequent eye infections
Frequent allergic reactions
Living or working in dusty environments

The Contact Lens Fitting

The fitting process is how we determine which type of lenses may be best for you. We’ll take several measurements during the fitting to ensure your lenses fit comfortably and provide the clear vision you’re looking for. Some of these measurements include:

Your tear film quality
The size and shape of your cornea
The size and shape of your pupil

FAQ

What kind of eye exam do I need for contact lenses?

A contact lens exam includes a comprehensive vision test, along with additional measurements of corneal shape and tear film health. This ensures lenses fit safely and comfortably. Lake Eye Associates evaluates your prescription, lifestyle, and eye health before recommending the most appropriate contact lens option.

Can I wear contacts if I have astigmatism or need reading glasses?

Yes, specialized contact lenses are available for astigmatism and presbyopia. Toric lenses correct astigmatism, while multifocal lenses address both near and distance vision. Lake Eye Associates offers advanced lens options designed to provide clear vision and comfort for a wide range of refractive conditions.

What types of contact lenses are available at Lake Eye Associates?

Lake Eye Associates provides daily disposables, bi-weekly and monthly lenses, toric lenses for astigmatism, multifocal lenses, and specialty lenses for unique prescriptions. The team works with leading manufacturers to ensure quality, safety, and comfort based on your eye health and visual needs.

What is the difference between daily, disposable, and extended-wear contact lenses?

Daily disposable lenses are worn once and discarded, reducing maintenance and buildup. Monthly lenses require cleaning and storage. Extended-wear lenses may be worn overnight in certain cases. Lake Eye Associates helps determine the safest and most convenient option based on your eye health and lifestyle habits.

What is the difference between a contact lens exam and a contact lens fitting?

A contact lens exam evaluates your vision and eye health, while a fitting determines the correct lens size, curvature, and brand for your eyes. Proper fitting ensures comfort and oxygen flow. Lake Eye Associates carefully assesses lens movement and alignment before finalizing your prescription.
