The right contact lens depends on your prescription, eye health, comfort, and how often you want to replace your lenses. We fit lenses from leading manufacturers, including:

- Disposable lenses – Discard every two weeks, or sooner.
- Frequent replacement lenses – Discard monthly or quarterly.
- Traditional (reusable) lenses – Discard every six months or longer.
- Toric lenses – Designed to correct astigmatism.
- Multifocal lenses – Correct near and distance vision for presbyopia.
- Gas permeable (GP) lenses – Rigid, breathable lenses for crisp vision and irregular corneas.
Why a Contact Lens Fitting Matters
A contact lens prescription is different from an eyeglass prescription. During a contact lens eye exam and fitting, your eye doctor measures the curvature and size of your eye, checks the health of your cornea, and evaluates how a trial lens fits and moves. A proper fitting protects your eye health and helps ensure all-day comfort and clear vision for nearsightedness, farsightedness, and other prescriptions.
Contact Lenses for Keratoconus
TLC also has independent doctors who work with patients with keratoconus. Because eyeglasses and soft contact lenses often can’t provide adequate visual acuity in cases of keratoconus, gas permeable contact lenses are usually the preferred treatment. GP lenses fit over the cornea, replacing its irregular shape with a smooth, uniform refracting surface to improve vision.
Contact Lens Care Tips
Wash your hands before handling lenses, follow your replacement schedule, never use water or saliva to clean lenses, and avoid sleeping or swimming in lenses unless your doctor approves. Keep a backup pair of prescription glasses for days your eyes need a break, and consider UV-protective sunglasses over your contacts outdoors.
