Contact Lenses & Specialty Contacts

Many people enjoy the freedom and convenience of contact lenses as an alternative to glasses. At Eyes on Painted Tree, we offer comprehensive contact lens exams, fittings, and access to advanced specialty lenses designed to provide clear, comfortable vision - even in the most complex cases.

Why Choose Contact Lenses?

Contact lenses are a great option for those seeking sharper vision without relying on eyeglasses. They provide:

• A wider field of view with no frames to obstruct your sight

• More natural vision correction for active lifestyles

• Cosmetic freedom for people who prefer not to wear glasses

• Comfortable, customized options for nearly every prescription

Contact Lens Exam and Fitting

During a contact lens exam and fitting, our optometrist will first assess your overall eye health and tear film to ensure that contact lenses are a safe option for you. Precise measurements of your eyes are then taken to achieve the perfect fit, which is essential for both comfort and vision clarity.

Based on your prescription, lifestyle, and comfort needs, we will recommend the best lens type for you. You’ll also receive hands-on training in proper insertion, removal, and daily care. This process ensures that your lenses not only provide clear vision but also support your long-term eye health.

Types of Contact Lenses

There are many contact lens options available, including:

• Soft contact lenses - flexible, comfortable, and available for daily or extended wear

• Rigid gas-permeable lenses - durable and provide crisp vision for certain prescriptions

• Disposable lenses - convenient daily or monthly options with minimal maintenance

• Toric lenses - designed to correct astigmatism

What Are Specialty Contact Lenses?

Specialty contact lenses go beyond standard prescriptions and are designed for patients with unique eye conditions or more complex vision needs. These lenses are carefully customized to address specific challenges where traditional contacts or glasses may not provide adequate vision.

Specialty lenses are particularly beneficial for patients with:

• Keratoconus or corneal irregularities

• Severe dry eye disease

• High prescriptions not fully corrected by regular lenses

• Post-surgical eyes (such as LASIK or corneal transplants)

• Severe astigmatism

Types of Specialty Contact Lenses

Some of the most common specialty lenses include:

• Scleral lenses - vault over the cornea and rest on the sclera, providing comfort and stability for irregular corneas

• Hybrid lenses - combine a gas-permeable center with a soft outer skirt for both clarity and comfort

• Orthokeratology (Ortho-K) lenses - worn overnight to gently reshape the cornea and provide clear vision during the day without contacts or glasses

• Custom soft lenses - tailored to unique prescriptions or corneal shapes

• Multifocal lenses - for patients who need help with both distance and near vision
