Not a candidate for surgical vision correction or just not quite ready for surgery?
A custom contact lens fitting may be the answer for you. There are more contact lens options available today than ever before for a wide variety of vision issues. Whether you wear glasses for just distance or just reading; or if you wear bifocals, trifocals, or progressive lenses; even if you have astigmatism, there are contact lenses available that may allow you to reduce your dependence on eyeglasses.

• Tired of your glasses sliding down your nose in the middle of your golf swing?
• Love those great new wrap style sunglasses but can’t get them in your prescription?
• Have a special occasion when you’d rather not have to wear glasses at all?
• Would you like to make a subtle or drastic change to your eye color?
• Do you participate in sports or activities where your glasses just get in the way?
• Would you simply like the option to go without glasses when it suits you?

There are contact lenses that can address all of these issues and more. Dr. Gearing will provide you with a comprehensive examination that includes a refraction to establish your prescription, an ocular health evaluation and an Orbscan where appropriate. The Orbscan is a state of the art measurement of the anterior surface of the eye which provides a topographical map of the front of the eye which can help make contact lens fitting a possibility for even the most complicated of prescriptions. This is an extremely valuable tool that measures 9000 checkpoints of data about your eye in less than two seconds. Since the eye is as individual as you are, the contours, thickness and curvature are uniquely yours. The more information we can acquire about your eyes, the better the outcome of your contact lens results.
