Contact Lens Evaluations: Precision Fit for Every Pair of Eyes

Personalized Contact Lens Solutions for Optimal Comfort and Clarity

At Starbase Optometry, we understand that finding the right contact lenses is more than a routine eye appointment – it’s about tailoring each pair to fit your unique vision needs and lifestyle. Dr. Fein’s Contact Lens Evaluations offer a customized approach to ensure you receive the best possible fit and comfort, allowing you to experience the freedom of clear, unencumbered vision.

Whether you’re a first-time contact lens wearer or looking to upgrade your current lenses, our evaluations are designed to address every detail. We assess the shape, curvature, and health of your eyes, as well as your daily habits, to recommend lenses that will provide both clarity and comfort. With Starbase Optometry, you’ll find a contact lens solution that’s as unique as your vision.

Why Contact Lens Evaluations Matter

A Tailored Fit for Lasting Comfort

Contact lenses are available in a wide variety of shapes, materials, and types, and the right pair depends on the structure of your eyes as well as your personal preferences. A proper evaluation helps prevent issues like dryness, irritation, or blurred vision by ensuring that each lens is precisely suited to your eye. Dr. Fein’s meticulous evaluations ensure that your lenses fit comfortably and securely, so you can wear them with confidence throughout the day.

Solutions for Every Vision Need

During the evaluation, we consider any specific vision needs, such as astigmatism, presbyopia, or the need for multifocal lenses. We also offer specialty lenses for conditions like keratoconus, a condition that requires a more advanced lens design. This customized approach ensures that we provide the best lenses for both common and complex vision needs, supporting sharp, comfortable sight at every turn.

What to Expect During Your Contact Lens Evaluation

  1. Comprehensive Eye Health Assessment: Before recommending any lenses, Dr. Fein conducts a thorough eye health examination. This includes checking for any underlying issues such as dry eye, allergies, or infections that may impact your comfort with contact lenses. By assessing your overall eye health, we ensure that contact lenses are a safe and effective option for you.
  2. Detailed Corneal Measurement and Lens Fitting: The shape and curvature of your cornea play a critical role in determining the right contact lens fit. Using advanced measurement tools, Dr. Fein precisely maps the corneal surface to provide an accurate foundation for lens selection. This detailed mapping enables us to recommend lenses that align with your eye’s natural shape, ensuring a snug, comfortable fit and clear vision.
  3. Lens Material and Type Selection: Contact lenses are available in various materials, from soft hydrogel lenses to rigid gas-permeable options. Based on your eye health, vision needs, and daily activities, Dr. Fein will recommend the lens type that’s best suited for you. Options may include:
    • Daily Wear Lenses: Convenient, single-use lenses that offer a fresh start every day.
    • Extended Wear Lenses: For those who prefer lenses that can be worn overnight, designed for longer wear.
    • Toric Lenses for Astigmatism: Custom-fitted lenses that correct astigmatism by accounting for the eye’s irregular curvature.
    • Multifocal Lenses: A great option for those with presbyopia, combining multiple prescriptions into one lens.
  4. Trial Lens Fitting and Vision Check: Once a lens type is selected, you’ll have the opportunity to try on a pair of trial lenses to test comfort and vision clarity. Dr. Fein will conduct a quick vision test to ensure that the lenses provide optimal correction, making any necessary adjustments to achieve a perfect fit. This trial process allows you to experience how the lenses will feel in daily wear before finalizing your prescription.

Types of Specialty Contact Lenses

For patients with unique vision requirements, Starbase Optometry offers a range of specialty contact lenses designed to meet specific needs:

  • Scleral Lenses: Larger lenses that vault over the cornea and rest on the sclera, ideal for irregular corneas or conditions like keratoconus.
  • Rigid Gas-Permeable Lenses: Durable lenses that provide clear vision for patients who need sharper visual acuity.
  • Orthokeratology (Ortho-K) Lenses: Worn overnight to gently reshape the cornea, offering clear vision during the day without corrective lenses.

These specialty lenses ensure that even those with challenging vision issues can enjoy the benefits of comfortable, high-quality contact lenses.
