CONTACT LENS FITTING

Specialty lenses, including corneal RGP and scleral lenses● Rigid gas permeable (RGP) lenses have a long track record of safety and durability. These lenses offer benefits for patients with specific visual needs. Corneal RGP lenses are used to correct higher prescriptions or help manage eye conditions that distort the cornea, like keratoconus. We recommended replacing these lenses annually.● Scleral lenses are used to manage corneal conditions that distort the cornea, like keratoconus. They can also be beneficial for patients with extensive dry eye disease. We recommended replacing these lenses annually.Soft contact lenses● Our eye care providers fit a wide variety of soft contact lenses, including the newest technology in multifocal and astigmatism options. We fit contact lenses from the most trusted manufacturers, including Johnson & Johnson, Alcon, Bausch & Lomb, and CooperVision. We strive to provide an optimal wearing experience to maximize vision, convenience, and safety.  ● Astigmatism is a condition of the eye where there are two curves of the eye, rather than the same curve throughout the eye. With two curves, the eye needs two different prescriptions in certain spots to see clearly. ● Multifocal contact lenses correct vision at distance, intermediate, and near. These lenses are designed with many prescriptions blended into one contact lens, so both eyes are balanced for any viewpoint. ● Monovision correction is a technique that allows the dominant eye to see clearly at distance, and the non-dominant eye is focused for reading.

EYELID PROCEDURES

Blepharoplasty: Removing excess skin of the upper eyelid to prevent “heavy” eyelids from covering your upper field of vision. 
Chalazion: A chalazion is a blockage of the glands in the eyelid. It normally starts as a red, puffy area of the eyelid. If it does not get better, the area becomes hard and appears as a lump on the eyelid. Treatment options: ● Hot compresses: If performed multiple times per day, hot compresses can be very beneficial for a chalazion. Dry eye masks are designed with special beads that stay hot long enough to truly heat the eyelids effectively. ● Injection: Medicine administered locally around the eyelid bump can help reduce its size.● Surgical removal: A small incision is made on the eyelid, and the hardened material is removed. 
Papilloma removal: Papillomas are small bumps on the eyelid. These can be surgically removed.
