Contact Lens Exams, Fittings, & Brands

Addressing the Visual Needs of Every Patient

At Karns Vision Center, we understand that glasses aren’t always the preferred vision correction for everyone. We love choices, and having the option to rock contacts is a choice you can make with us.

Whether you crave the freedom of an active lifestyle, the convenience of ditching your specs for a night out, or simply prefer the look and feel of contact lenses, we’re here to help. We offer comprehensive contact lens exams, fittings, and specialty lenses to address your visual needs.

Specialty contacts like scleral lenses can be a good option if issues like dry eye and keratoconus have prevented you from comfortably wearing lenses. Finding contact lenses that provide clear, comfortable vision is crucial—contact us to schedule your appointment today.

Finding the Right Fit for You

Before prescribing your contact lenses, our team will guide you through a fitting process. We perform various measurements and tests during your fitting to find the right lens type and fit for you. We also review how to insert, remove, and care for your contacts.

Our goal with a contact lens fitting is to help you feel comfortable and confident with your new contact lenses.

Personalized Contact Lens Fittings

Our contact lens fittings implement different technologies and tools so that you can enjoy a comfortable and safe fit with your new lenses:

Topcon CA-800 Corneal Topography: The instrument creates a 3D map of your cornea, helping provide a precise picture of its shape and curvature.
Anterior Segment OCT 3D OCT-1 Maestro: This technology takes things a step further. It provides a detailed 3D image of your entire front eye segment, helping us to assess the fit of your lenses in relation to your entire eye anatomy. This information is particularly beneficial for complex prescriptions or irregular corneas.

A Wide Range of Contact Lens Options

Just like your glasses, contact lenses correct refractive errors such as myopia, hyperopia, presbyopia, and astigmatism.

Whether you prioritize comfort, crisp vision correction, or a combination of both, we have the perfect lens for you:

Soft Contact Lenses: A popular choice for their comfort and ease of use, ideal for everyday wear or occasional use.
Rigid Gas Permeable (RGP) Lenses: These lenses provide excellent vision correction and durability, particularly beneficial for astigmatism or other conditions where precise vision is crucial.

We also offer various specialty contacts, like scleral lenses, to manage eye conditions like dry eye and keratoconus.

Scleral Lenses

Scleral lenses are RGP lenses that sit on the sclera (white of your eyes), unlike traditional contacts that rest directly on your cornea.

Scleral contacts can be an excellent option for patients with trouble wearing contacts due to eye conditions like dry eye and keratoconus. They are wider than traditional lenses, vaulting over the cornea to create a fluid reservoir. Sclerals provide extra breathability, comfort, and hydration.

Orthokeratology Lenses

Orthokeratology, also known as ortho-k, is a non-surgical procedure where specialty contact lenses are used to reshape the cornea while your child sleeps, providing clear vision during the day.

Ortho-k contact lenses are customized to meet your child’s specific needs. They gently and gradually reshape the cornea, correcting your child’s vision. Our team will use a topographer to map the entire cornea, designing custom lenses for your kids.

Aspheric Lenses

These lenses provide sharper vision, particularly at night, by correcting higher-order aberrations that can cause halos or glare. They are ideal for those who experience nighttime driving difficulties.

Toric Lenses

Toric lenses help address astigmatism and can deliver clear vision at all distances without the blurriness or distortions associated with untreated astigmatism.

Multifocal & Hybrid Lenses

Like bifocal or trifocal glasses, multifocal lenses allow you to see clearly at near, far, and intermediate distances, providing a seamless vision experience.

Hybrid lenses combine a soft lens’s comfort with an RGP lens’s crisp vision. They are ideal for patients with specific needs or those who have had trouble with traditional lens types.

Enjoy the Freedom of Contact Lenses
