Advanced Contact Lens Fittings: Finding Your Perfect Match

When it comes to vision correction, contact lenses offer convenience, comfort, and clear vision without the hassle of glasses. However, not all contact lenses are created equal, and finding the right fit requires more than just picking up a standard prescription. At Battle Born Eye Care, we specialize in advanced contact lens fittings to ensure your lenses not only improve your vision but also provide optimal comfort and eye health.

What Is a Contact Lens Exam and Fitting?

A contact lens exam and fitting are crucial steps in determining the best contact lenses for your eyes. During the exam, your eye doctor assesses your vision needs, measures your corneal curvature, and evaluates the overall health of your eyes. Unlike a standard eye exam, a contact lens exam includes additional tests to ensure your lenses fit comfortably and align properly with the shape of your eyes.

Once the exam is complete, the fitting process begins. Your eye doctor will consider factors like your lifestyle, eye condition, and specific vision requirements to recommend the ideal type of contact lens. Trial lenses may be used to confirm the fit and ensure you’re satisfied with your vision clarity and comfort before finalizing your prescription.

Advanced Contact Lens Options

For those who need something beyond traditional soft lenses, advanced contact lens options provide solutions tailored to a variety of vision and eye health needs.

Scleral lenses are larger, gas-permeable lenses that vault over the cornea and rest on the sclera (the white part of the eye). These lenses are an excellent choice for individuals with irregular corneas, dry eyes, or conditions like keratoconus. Their unique design provides superior comfort and stability while offering sharp vision correction.

Ortho-K lenses are specially designed rigid gas-permeable lenses worn overnight. While you sleep, these lenses gently reshape the cornea, temporarily correcting refractive errors like myopia (nearsightedness). During the day, you can enjoy clear vision without the need for glasses or contact lenses. Ortho-K is also a popular choice for slowing the progression of myopia in children.

RGP lenses are smaller, durable lenses made from oxygen-permeable materials. These lenses provide excellent vision correction for a variety of conditions, including astigmatism and presbyopia. Although they require an adjustment period, many patients appreciate their durability and crisp visual acuity.

Custom soft contact lenses are tailored to fit your eyes perfectly, providing superior comfort and vision correction. These lenses are ideal for patients with high prescriptions, astigmatism, or other unique needs that can’t be met with standard soft lenses.
