Experience Clearer Vision with Contacts

If you suffer from a refractive error, your vision needs to be corrected by using glasses, laser eye surgery, or contact lenses to see clearly. Contacts are a simple, noninvasive, and quick solution for clearer vision. 

Some people have been told their eyes aren’t able to wear contact lenses or they have found them rather uncomfortable. At Total Focus Optometry, we want to find the right pair of contacts lenses for every patient that’s interested in wearing them.

What Happens During a Contact Lens Fitting?

When you visit for contact lenses, our team runs several tests to learn what lenses will be the most comfortable and what’s needed to correct certain issues. During RPG lens fittings, we use corneal topography, a device that provides us with a 3D map of your cornea.

To better understand what type of contact lenses would work best for you, we’ll also typically do the following:

  • Discuss how long you want to wear your contact lenses (daily, weekly, monthly, etc.)
  • Identify eye conditions that could prevent you from wearing contact lenses (like dry eye disease)
  • Assess vision problems that need specific contact lenses to correct

Our Specialty Contact Lenses

To help the vision and the eye comfort of our patients, we offer specialty lenses. These lenses help correct specific vision issues. Our team will recommend if these contact lenses are right for you.

RGP Contact Lenses

Rigid gas permeable (RGP) lenses are easy to use, durable lenses. RGP lenses provide patients with clear, crisp vision and can be used to correct astigmatism. However, some patients may find these lenses slightly less comfortable than soft contact lenses.

MiSight 1 day contact lenses are designed for children to control the progression of myopia. The lenses are made to be easy to use for younger patients. MiSight lenses are also excellent for those involved in sports, as they no longer have to wear glasses
