Ditch the Frames, Embrace the Freedom: Your Journey to the Perfect Contact Lenses

Have your glasses ever slipped down your nose at the worst moment? They may have been foggy during a hot coffee sip or kept you from wearing those stylish sunglasses. If you ever thought, "Is there a better way!" - You are right. At Curtis R Anderson, OD, we switch to contacts (or upgrade your current lenses) for a hassle-free, customized experience.
Not All Lenses Are Created Equal (And Neither Are Eyes!)
No two eyes are the same, and neither are contact lenses! Your lifestyle, prescription, and even how often you blink all influence the perfect lens choice. That's why we offer a personalized approach rather than a one-size-fits-all solution.
What to Expect During Your Contact Lens Exam
Step 1: Chat
Before diving into advanced testing, we'll discuss your needs. Will you wear contacts daily or just for special occasions? Do you have dry eyes or astigmatism? Understanding your lifestyle helps us recommend the best lenses for you.
Step 2: Examination
Your eye health is of prime importance. We will assess your vision, take cornea measurements, and ensure no underlying conditions may affect your comfort while wearing lenses.
Step 3: Right Fit
Finding the right contact lens is like finding the perfect pair of shoes—comfort is key! We'll test different options to ensure a secure fit, sharp vision, and all-day comfort.
Step 4: Test Drive
You'll receive trial lenses to test in real-life conditions. You're good to go if they feel comfortable and provide a clear vision! If not, we'll make adjustments until they fit perfectly.
Step 5: Follow-up
A quick check-in ensures your eyes are happy, healthy, and seeing well after one or two weeks.
Our Contact Lens Services
We provide a comprehensive suite of services to ensure that your contact lens experience is comfortable and satisfactory:
- Personal counseling: During your eye test, we take the time to discuss your interest in contact lenses with you. Understanding your daily routine, visual requirements, and personal preferences allows us to make the most suitable contact lens recommendations for you.
- Unrestricted selection of lenses: Whether you're a first-time wearer of contact lenses or looking to switch from glasses, we offer a range of options, including daily disposables, extended-wear lenses, and special lenses for specific conditions such as astigmatism or presbyopia.
- Professional fitting: A proper fit is crucial for both comfort and the health of your eyes. Our professionals will ensure that the contact lenses suit your eyes, minimizing the risk of discomfort or potential issues.
- Training and education: We provide thorough training on inserting, removing, and maintaining your contact lenses, equipping you with the confidence to do it all by yourself as a first-time wearer.
