Contact Lens Exams, Fittings, & Brands in Arvada

Orthokeratology (ortho-k) lenses are designed to gently reshape your corneas while you sleep, resulting in clear vision during the day.

They’re made for people with myopia (nearsightedness). Worn overnight and removed in the morning, ortho-k allows you to experience clear vision without needing glasses or contacts throughout the day.

Aspheric lenses are flatter than normal lenses. Because of their shape, they can offer clear vision with less distortion and can also improve peripheral vision.

Generally, we prescribe these lenses to patients who play sports, have trouble seeing in low light, or experience symptoms of presbyopia. Presbyopia is the natural, although annoying, loss of ability to clearly see objects at about arm’s-length. It typically starts to develop in your 40s.

We prescribe toric lenses to people with astigmatism. Astigmatism is when your cornea is shaped differently, with uneven curvature across the eye’s front surface. Because of this, regular contact lenses may not fit you well or comfortably.

Astigmatism can cause blurry vision, making it difficult to see up close or far away, depending on your astigmatism.

Toric lenses have different strengths in different areas to help you see clearly, so a contact lens exam and fitting is essential. We’ll check that these lenses fit you properly during your fitting and make any necessary adjustments to help you achieve clearer vision.

Multifocal lenses are designed so patients can see at various distances while using one pair of contacts.

Some vision issues, like presbyopia (difficulty seeing objects up close), occur naturally as we age. When your vision issues also include myopia (difficulty seeing objects far away) or astigmatism (irregularly shaped corneas), multifocal lenses become a great choice.

Multifocal lenses can eliminate the need for multiple pairs of glasses. One pair of contacts can have two or more prescriptions, allowing you to easily alternate between different activities.

Hybrid lenses are made of both hard and soft materials. They feature a rigid gas-permeable (hard) center and soft edges, making them often feel more comfortable than traditional hard lenses.

Because hard contacts can reduce distortions, the design of hybrid lenses can also increase the clarity of your vision. We recommend them for patients with astigmatism, keratoconus, and other corneal irregularities or injuries.
