Contact Lens Services at Lakeside Eye Associates
Helping Huntersville Find The Perfect Fit
Are you interested in wearing contact lenses, or maybe you’ve tried them before but struggled with comfort or fit? Finding the right contact lenses can be a game-changer for vision and convenience. Lakeside Eye Associates’s contact lens services aim to meet each patient’s needs, ensuring comfort, clarity, and ease of use. With personalized fittings and a wide range of options, we help you find contacts that perfectly match your lifestyle and vision.
Daily Disposable Lenses
Daily disposable lenses are single-use lenses that you wear for one day and then discard. Ideal for those seeking a low-maintenance, hygienic option, daily disposables eliminate the need for cleaning solutions and storage cases. Each morning, you start with a fresh pair, making these lenses beneficial for those with dry or sensitive eyes.
Biweekly and Monthly Lenses
For those looking for a cost-effective option that’s still easy to maintain, biweekly and monthly lenses may be a great choice. These lenses are worn for either two weeks or one month before being replaced, making them suitable for people who are comfortable with regular lens care routines. Biweekly and monthly lenses offer flexibility, come in various materials for comfort and moisture retention, and are ideal for patients with consistent contact lens needs.
Multifocal and Bifocal Lenses
Multifocal and bifocal contact lenses provide an ideal solution for those needing vision correction for near and far distances. Unlike traditional single-vision lenses, these lenses offer clear vision across multiple focal points.
- Multifocal lenses have multiple focus zones, similar to progressive glasses so that you can see clearly at varying distances without the abrupt change of bifocals. They are an excellent choice for those with presbyopia.
- Bifocal lenses have two distinct prescription zones, one for near vision and another for distance. These lenses provide a straightforward solution for those who need to shift between close-up and far-away tasks.
Specialty Lenses
Some patients have unique eye conditions or vision needs requiring specialized solutions. Our specialty contact lenses are tailored for those who struggle with standard lenses:
- Keratoconus: Keratoconus causes the cornea to thin and bulge, making it difficult to fit traditional lenses. Our specialty options, like scleral lenses, vault over the irregular cornea to provide a stable and comfortable fit.
- Orthokeratology (Ortho-K) Lenses: Ortho-K lenses are worn overnight to gently reshape the cornea, providing clear vision during the day without needing daytime lenses. This non-surgical solution is especially beneficial for managing myopia (nearsightedness) in children.
- Scleral Lenses: Larger than typical contacts, scleral lenses rest on the sclera (the white of the eye), creating a tear-filled cushion over the cornea. Scleral lenses are ideal for dry eyes, irregular corneas, or conditions like keratoconus.
