A Deep Dive into Advanced Contact Lens Fitting

For many, contact lenses offer the freedom to see clearly without the need for glasses. However, every pair of eyes is unique, and a one-size-fits-all approach to contact lens fitting simply doesn’t work. At Greenville EyeCare Associates, we specialize in advanced contact lens fitting to provide personalized vision correction tailored to each patient’s needs. Whether you have a standard prescription or more complex vision challenges, our team is committed to finding the right lens for you.

Expert Contact Lens Fitting at Greenville EyeCare Associates

Our team at Greenville EyeCare Associates combines expertise with cutting-edge technology to ensure a precise and comfortable contact lens fit. Every eye is different, and achieving the best vision and comfort requires a specialized approach. We offer a wide range of contact lenses, ensuring that even those with complex prescriptions receive the best possible vision correction.

Our advanced fitting process begins with a comprehensive evaluation of your eye shape, prescription, and tear film quality. Using diagnostic lenses and corneal topography, we assess the ideal fit for your eyes. Follow-up care is also a key part of our approach, allowing us to make adjustments as needed to ensure long-term comfort and optimal vision.

Contact Lens Options for Every Need

We offer a full range of contact lens options, including:

•          Spherical Lenses – Designed for nearsightedness or farsightedness, these are the most commonly prescribed soft contact lenses.

•          Toric Lenses – Specially made for patients with astigmatism, these lenses provide stable, clear vision.

•          Multifocal Lenses – Ideal for presbyopia, these lenses offer multiple prescription powers, reducing the need for reading glasses.

Rigid Gas Permeable (RGP) Lenses

RGP lenses are made from oxygen-permeable material that maintains its shape on the eye, providing sharper vision than traditional soft lenses. These lenses are particularly beneficial for individuals with high astigmatism or irregular corneas. Additionally, RGP lenses promote better oxygen flow to the eye, reducing dryness and irritation. While they may require an initial adjustment period, many patients find that RGP lenses offer superior clarity, durability, and long-term comfort.

Scleral Lenses

Scleral lenses are larger than standard lenses and rest on the white part of the eye (the sclera), creating a fluid-filled layer between the lens and the cornea. These lenses offer unique advantages:

•          Ideal for Irregular Corneas – Patients with keratoconus, corneal scarring, or post-surgical complications often achieve better vision and comfort with scleral lenses compared to traditional options.

•          Relief for Severe Dry Eye – The fluid layer beneath the lens provides constant hydration, making scleral lenses an excellent choice for individuals with chronic dry eye who struggle with conventional soft lenses.
