Distance Vision

Distance Vision Contact Lenses correct any refractive error, such as Nearsightedness, Farsightedness, and Astigmatism. Soft and Semi-Soft Lenses (RGP) materials can be used. Soft materials are the most often used because they require the least time to get used to wearing. Soft contact lenses are manufactured in mass and in parameters that fit most eyes. If you have been fitted in the past and you feel your lenses are uncomfortable, you may wish to explore Custom-Made Contact Lenses. Custom lenses allow contact lens specialists to fit your lenses to the exact parameter needed, which is often outside the Disposable lens-premade parameters. Custom lenses tend to provide crisper vision and usually are more comfortable. ​ Remember that large eyes are usually nearsighted, and small eyes are farsighted. Astigmatism could be present in either small or large eyes. Some eyes have a slightly conical (Oval) shape called astigmatism. Astigmatism used to be a challenge, but today's technology allows us to easily correct this error. Contact Lens Exam Near me. Contact Lens Exam Ft. Myers.

Presbyopia (Near Focusing)

As part of our aging, we lose our ability to see near because the eye muscles that form the accommodation system of the eye (Focusing mechanism) are simply giving up. When that happens, you have to be fitted in lenses that allow you to see distance and near, which in contact lenses can be achieved with multifocal lenses so you can see all distances. Multifocal lenses have a technology similar to progressive spectacle lenses.  ​ Multifocal contact lenses can correct almost all refractive errors for distance, including astigmatism and the near aging error, Presbyopia. These contact lenses come in disposable and Custom-Made designs.Contact Lens Exam Near Me

Semi-Soft Lenses (RGP) Gas Permeable Lenses.

They are sometimes erroneously referred to as hard lenses. These lenses are semi-soft as they flex and allow oxygen exchange between the cornea and lens. Hard lenses were made of hard material that did not allow oxygen exchange. There are many advantages to gas-permeable lenses. Contact Lens Exam Near Me. Contact Lens Fort Myers. 

 

Soft Lenses come in different materials, and their high water content makes them extremely pliable; they require less adaptation time. Soft lenses come in disposable designs and are also available custom-made. Contact Lens Exam Near Me.

Hard Lenses (PMMA) are no longer fitted. This material did not flex. It was solid and did not allow oxygen to enter through the lens as modern-day RGP materials.

RGP is a material that is not hard as it flexes and allows oxygen transmission to your cornea. Contact Lens Exam Near Me. It is used in regular interpalpebral lenses which are usuall y small in diameter from 6mm to almost 11 mm. These lenses rest directly in top of your cornea and require an adaptation period. The same material is used in Scleral lenses which normally are larger than 15 mm and are made to rest in the sclera never really touching the cornea. RGP material corrects almost the same refractive conditions as soft contacts lenses but it also used in Keratoconus Scleral lenses for irregular astigmatism. RGP lenses are considered better for people with DRY Eye Syndrome. Contact Lens Exam Near Me. Contact Lens Fort Myers.

Keratoconus is a condition that affects one person out of 2000. The protrusion and bulging of the cornea make the tissue thinner and irregular, making the quality of vision with glasses poor.  We fit scleral lenses for most Keratoconus because this lens provides good-quality vision. These lenses are as large as most soft lenses but are made of an RGP (semisoft material). The lenses are vaulted, and the inner space left is filled with fluid, never touching your corneas, only a tiny margin area outside the cornea, allowing comfortable wear. You will require several visits. Schedule your Contact Lens Exam Ft. Myers Today. Contact Lens Exam Near me. Call us for a free consultation.
