That’s when contact lenses become an excellent solution. Vista Eyecare is proud to offer complete, comprehensive, and customized contact lens exams and fittings. Whether you’re looking to add a little variety to your vision correction options or want to make a complete switch to contacts, we can find lenses that suit your needs.
BOOK AN APPOINTMENT
Getting Contact Lenses
Before you can start wearing contact lenses, there are a few things we need to check. Our contact lens exam and fitting process is designed to determine if you can wear contact lenses safely, if you would benefit from specialty lenses for specific eye conditions and what lenses work best for you and your lifestyle.
Whether the appointment is for you or a loved one, here is what you can expect from our contact lens consultation process.
The Eye Exam
We begin every contact lens appointment with an eye exam. Eye exams help us determine your prescription and discover any eye conditions that could affect contact lens wear.
Almost everyone can wear contact lenses safely, but some issues can affect your candidacy, like:
Once we determine if you’re a candidate for contact lenses, it’s time to find you the right pair.
Fitting Your Contacts
The fitting process is important for determining which contact lens will work best and feel the most comfortable for you. We take detailed measurements of your eye’s shape and size, corneal parameters, and tear film quality to find you the best option.
You may have “hard-to-fit eyes,” but that’s okay! We offer a range of specialty contacts that can still give you the clear vision you’re looking for. Contact lenses are not one-size-fits-all and may not fit, causing health issues like corneal warping or lack of oxygen in the cornea.
Trying Them On!
Now it’s time for the fun part!
After we fit your contacts, we’ll give you an opportunity to test them out and get used to how they feel. This trial period may last a week or two, and there’s a possibility we may have to adjust your contacts to ensure you have the best experience.
If you feel like your eyes aren’t adjusting to your contact lenses, or you experience redness and irritation, please remove them and call us as soon as possible.
Specialty Contact Lenses
Consultations
Rigid gas-permeable (RGP) lenses are popular for their ease of use, durability, and clarity. RGP lenses are excellent for correcting astigmatism, but they might take longer to adjust to when compared to traditional soft contact lenses.
Co-Management
If you have an irregular cornea from a condition like keratoconus, scleral contact lenses may be the perfect choice for you. Scleral lenses are larger than traditional contact lenses, allowing them to “vault” over your cornea while resting on the whites of your eyes (the sclera). They are surprisingly comfortable and provide excellent vision correction.
Myopia Management Lenses
MiSight Contact Lenses
If your child has myopia, we might recommend MiSight contact lenses to slow its progression. MiSight contact lenses use a technology called myopic defocus to slow myopia while simultaneously correcting your child’s vision.
Learn more about myopia and our controlling strategies by visiting our Myopia Control page.
Abiliti Contact Lenses
ACUVUE Abiliti contact lenses are soft contact lenses designed to manage myopia progression in children. These lenses are worn during the day, and use RingBoost technology to help slow myopia progression.
With their silicone hydrogel lens material, these lenses provide comfort and breathability. These contact lenses offer a proactive and convenient solution to address your child’s vision needs.
We Recycle!
Did you know that over 290 million contact lenses end up in Canadian landfills and waterways every year? Vista Eyecare is proud to offer contact lens recycling at our office.
Visit our office to drop off any brand of used contact lenses and contact lens packaging (yes, that’s the plastic packaging, foil, and the contact lenses themselves). We ship everything to TerraCycle, which keeps the harmful microplastics out of the environment by converting them into plastic pellets that can be moulded into new products like playground equipment and park benches.
Please note that if you’re shipping your used contact lenses, UPS and other courier companies might refuse leaking or wet products. Ensure all liquid is disposed of properly before packing up your contact lens waste.
