With
the advances that have been made in contact lens technology
we are able to fit a wide variety of patients including:
Those who are Nearsighted or Farsighted
There are many varieties of contact lenses for
nearsightedness and farsightedness including lenses you wear
for only one day to those you wear for an entire year. They
come in soft or hard and some come in a multitude of colors.
Most of these lenses are available in stock for you to leave
our office with on the day of your visit.
Those who have Astigmatism
We fit contact lenses for people with all types of
astigmatism, from minimal to very severe. These lenses are
available in hard, gas permeable, and soft designs. The soft
lens designs are available in disposable or conventional
wear schedules.
Those who wear Bifocals
One of the newest advances in contact lenses is the
introduction of disposable bifocal lenses. We carry both the
Acuvue Bifocal and the Ciba Progressive Lens. This new
technology has made bifocal lenses more affordable for
everyone. We also fit regular soft and rigid gas permeable
lenses for bifocal wearers.
Those who wish for a New Eye Color
Most contact lens designs are now available in a wide
variety of colors. We even offer the "Wild Eye"
collection. These lenses can change your image completely.
Excellent
Service
Dr.
Reed understands the concept of hard to fit contact lenses.
Dr. Reed has a corneal topographer to evaluate the corneal
shape looking for any irregularities or complications to
fitting contact lenses. A thorough eye examination is
performed to determine your suitability for contact lenses.
All contact lens fittings include a comprehensive
examination, corneal topography, the lenses, care kit,
instructions for wearing schedule and cleaning, and
unlimited follow up visits for three months.

Financial
Considerations
The
cost of contact lenses is dependent on the type of lens and
modality that is agreed upon by Dr. Reed and the patient.
There are many factors that make up the total cost of the
contact lenses:
If
you already wear contact lenses and need to update your
prescription, Dr. Reed will want to have your previous
prescription transferred to his office and to schedule a
routine comprehensive eye exam. The fees associated with
this are minimal when compared to a new patient with no
previous contact lens experience.
The
various contact lens options have advantages and
disadvantages that are all evaluated during the contact lens
evaluations to find the best fit for each patient’s needs.
