  • Contact lens training, cleaning and proper maintenance

  • Updating contact lens prescriptions for current contact lens wearers

  • Fitting specialty contact lenses such as multifocal, hybrid, and cornea-shaping (CRT) lenses

  • Re-fitting on patients wanting to change lenses (e.g.: patient wears a monthly lens, but wishes to change to a daily disposable)

Computer Vision Services Available:

  • Determination of computer prescription for intermediate distance~ The viewing distances and angles associated with using a computer require certain focusing and eye movement needs which are separate from distance and reading vision prescriptions.

  • Computer Vision Syndrome: Functional testing is needed to determine digital display stress. We are testing for refractive error, eye health, binocular vision, accommodative ranges (to name a few) and will carefully evaluate results to determine diagnosis.

  • Ergonomic and visual expertise with regard to CVS. We can educate you to correct environment or habits for proper posture, arm support, shoulder pain prevention and proper material placement to prevent constant head movement from material to computer screen (as a few examples).

  • Frame selection and dispensing of occupational and computer use spectacles. These specs may include blue light filters, lens tints or coatings to ease digital display viewing.
