Contact lenses have come a long way from being a one-size-fits-all solution. Today, advancements in technology and design have led to the creation of specialized contact lenses tailored to meet a variety of visual and medical needs. At Dr. Krietlow & Associates, we offer the latest in contact lens options to ensure our patients achieve clear, comfortable vision no matter their unique requirements.

Toric Lenses

If you have astigmatism, toric lenses are designed to correct the irregular shape of your cornea or lens. These lenses stay in place better than traditional lenses, providing stable, clear vision and a comfortable fit. Newer designs ensure better oxygen flow to your eyes, reducing dryness and irritation.
 

Silicone Hydrogel Lenses

Silicone hydrogel lenses represent a significant advancement in contact lens technology, offering superior comfort and breathability. Silicone hydrogel lenses allow up to five times more oxygen to pass through to the cornea, promoting better eye health and reducing the risk of complications like redness and dryness. These lenses are soft, flexible, and suitable for extended wear, making them ideal for individuals who wear their lenses for long hours or struggle with dry eye symptoms.
 

Rigid Gas Permeable (RGP) Lenses

Rigid gas permeable (RGP) lenses are a durable, customizable solution for individuals requiring precise vision correction. Made from firm, oxygen-permeable materials, RGP lenses provide exceptional visual clarity, especially for those with astigmatism, high prescriptions, or corneal irregularities like keratoconus. RGP lenses maintain their shape on the eye, offering sharper and more stable vision.
 

Multifocal Lenses

As we age, presbyopia can make it difficult to focus on nearby objects. Multifocal contact lenses provide seamless vision correction for both near and far distances, offering a convenient alternative to bifocals or reading glasses.
 

Benefits of Modern Contact Lenses

• Enhanced Comfort: Materials like silicone hydrogel and innovations in lens design ensure that lenses stay moist and comfortable throughout the day.

• Improved Breathability: Advanced lenses allow more oxygen to reach your eyes, reducing the risk of complications like dryness and redness.

• Personalized Fit: With detailed eye measurements and specialized fitting techniques, contact lenses can now address unique vision challenges more effectively than ever before.
