Keeping Your Visual Needs in Mind
Our exam and fitting process is built around your visual needs. Contact lenses are worn to correct refractive errors such as myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness), astigmatism, and presbyopia.
During your comprehensive contact lens exam, our team will check your visual acuity to test how well you see letters and symbols from a distance. We will also discuss your lifestyle needs and determine if your eyes produce enough tears for comfortable and safe contact lens wear.
At Experts on Sight, we strive to help our patients find the best vision correction option for their needs.
Specialty Lenses for Your Visual Needs
Contact lenses offer a wide range of vision correction options and fall under 2 main categories, soft contact lenses and rigid gas permeable (RGP).
Soft contact lenses are made of soft, flexible plastics that allow oxygen to pass through to the cornea.
RGP lenses are more durable than soft contact lenses and usually last longer. RGP lenses require a longer adjustment period, and it can take up to a few weeks for your eyes to fully adjust.
At Experts on Sight, we offer specialty contact lenses for more complex vision correction needs.
MiSight Myopia Control Lenses
MiSight myopia control lenses are soft contact lenses that help manage and correct nearsightedness in children. These lenses are designed to slow the progression of myopia in children aged 8 to 12 at the initiation of treatment.

Scleral Lenses
Scleral contact lenses can be an excellent option for patients who may struggle wearing contacts due to conditions such as dry eye syndrome and keratoconus.
Scleral lenses are larger than traditional contacts and allow for more space over your cornea’s surface for extra breathability.
Ortho-K Lenses
Ortho-k contact lenses are designed to reduce the dependence on contact lenses and glasses. The orthokeratology process involves inserting the lenses at night and removing them in the morning, allowing for clear vision throughout the day.
Ortho-k lenses are an excellent option for most patients with mild to moderate myopia or hyperopia.
Aspheric Lenses
Aspheric contact lenses work by controlling the average spherical aberration in the lens and human eye.
Spherical aberration is the inability of a lens to focus light on a common point. Aspheric contact lenses can focus light and offer clearer, sharper vision.
Toric Lenses
Toric contact lenses are available in both the soft and RGP variety. Toric lenses contain multiple powers, one vertical and the other horizontal, and help correct astigmatism.
These multiple powers allow the lenses to center correctly on the eye. Toric lenses require a precise fit, and our team can help you find a comfortable and ideal fit during your exam.
Multifocal Lenses
Multifocal contact lenses have a bifocal design with 2 distinct lens powers for near and distance vision. These lenses can eliminate the need for reading glasses and help correct presbyopia.
Multifocal lenses are available in both soft and RGP contact lens options and are designed for daily wear or extended overnight wear.
Hybrid Contact Lenses
Hybrid contact lenses feature a rigid gas permeable center and are surrounded by a soft outer ring. These lenses correct refractive errors such as myopia, hyperopia, presbyopia, and astigmatism.
Hybrid contact lenses can also help manage keratoconus, which is an irregular curvature of the cornea.
The Contact Lens Fitting Process
The contact lens fitting process is essential to help our team determine your comfort and vision correction needs while wearing your new lenses. At Experts on Sight, we use corneal topography to ensure your contact lenses fit comfortably.
Corneal topography allows our team to map the surface of the cornea and works like a 3D map that helps find distortions in the curvature of the cornea. This process can help our team determine what your unique visual needs are and what contact lenses are the best fit.
Our Variety of Brands
Paragon
Paragon offers a surgery and glasses free method of correcting and controlling myopia. Paragon CRT lenses work for children or adults, gently reshaping the cornea while you sleep. After about a week of nightly wear, you’ll be able to go without glasses or contacts during the day. Try Paragon’s CRT lenses and discover daily freedom from myopia.
SynergEyes
SynergEyes hybrid contact lenses transform the vision for patients with astigmatism, presbyopia, and irregular cornea conditions. Since the first generation of hybrid lenses came to market in 2005, the company has continued to develop and deliver advancements in hybrid contact lens technologies. Generation 2 lenses combine new high-Dk materials with more comfortable, vision-optimized designs.
