Contact Lens Exams & Fittings in Santa Ana, California

Scleral lenses are designed for individuals with irregularly shaped corneas. These specialized lenses vault over the cornea and rest on the sclera (white of the eye) to accommodate the irregular shape of the cornea and provide clear vision.

Orthokeratology, or ortho-k lenses, are worn at night to gently reshape the cornea. Ortho-k lenses only reshape the cornea temporarily, so they need to be worn every night in order to remain effective.

Aspheric lenses are an excellent choice for individuals with severe myopia or hyperopia, due to a phenomenon called spherical aberration. Spherical aberration occurs when the light rays that hit the curved surface of the eye and spherical lens do not converge at the same point, resulting in blurry vision.

Aspheric lenses have flat edges, which are designed to deflect light rays and avoid image errors, providing clear vision.

Toric lenses are oblong-shaped lenses designed for patients with astigmatism, which is caused by an irregular shaped cornea. These specially shaped lenses are designed to accommodate the cornea’s irregular shape and are made using multiple prescriptions. They are also weighted to ensure they remain rotationally stable throughout the day.

Multifocal lenses can correct both distance and near vision by having multiple prescriptions at different focal points on the same lens. You can get bifocal or trifocal contacts, depending on your needs.

Hybrid lenses, as their name suggests, combine the benefits of both soft and rigid gas permeable contact lenses. They feature a rigid, gas permeable center section surrounded by a soft skirt for increased comfort and stability.
