Finding Contact Lenses That Fit Your Life

Every pair of eyes is unique, so contact lenses are never one-size-fits-all. At East Riverside Optometry, we take the time to learn about your daily routine and vision goals so we can recommend options that feel right for you.

We fit lenses for almost any vision need, whether you are nearsighted, farsighted, have astigmatism, or need help reading fine print. We also offer specialty lens options for individuals with dry eye, irregular corneas, or other conditions that make standard contact lenses uncomfortable.

Common Vision Needs Lenses Can Correct

Contact lenses are a versatile option to help clear up your vision throughout the day. They can help with:

  • Nearsightedness (myopia): Difficulty seeing objects far away.
  • Farsightedness (hyperopia): Difficulty focusing on objects up close.
  • Astigmatism: An irregular eye shape that causes blurry sight at all distances.
  • Presbyopia: Natural changes that make reading fine print tricky as we age.

During your exam, our optometrists review your health history and check your eyes to help make sure contacts are a comfortable, healthy choice for your lifestyle.

Our Simple Exam and Fitting Process

Finding the right contact lenses is about so much more than clear sight; it is about feeling comfortable and confident in your routine. 

At East Riverside Optometry, our fitting process is friendly and supportive. We guide you step by step, from reviewing your vision to carefully measuring your eyes and trying out test lenses together, helping you enjoy clear vision and everyday ease.

A detailed exam is our starting point. We check the overall health of your eyes, measure your prescription, and see if specialty lenses might work for you. Because contact lenses sit directly on your eye, your contact lens prescription is often slightly different from your glasses prescription!

Once we know contacts are a great option for you, we take detailed measurements of the front surface of your eye. Using gentle mapping tools, we check your eye’s shape and curvature so your lenses sit naturally, supporting clear sight and all-day comfort.

We send you home with a trial pair to test out in your normal routine. This lets you see how they feel while reading, working, and driving. If something feels slightly off, we are happy to try different powers, brands, or styles until you feel completely happy with your vision.

Specialty Contact Lenses for Unique Eyes

If standard lenses do not fit comfortably or meet your vision goals, we offer several specialized options designed for unique eye shapes and health needs:

  • Multifocal lenses: Help you see both near and far in a single lens, making reading glasses less necessary.
  • Toric lenses: Specially shaped to correct astigmatism for clear, steady vision.
  • Ortho-k lenses: Lenses worn overnight that gently reshape your eye while you sleep so you can see clearly without glasses during the day.
  • Scleral lenses: Larger lenses that vault over the front surface of your eye, providing smooth relief for dry eyes or conditions like keratoconus.
  • Rigid gas-permeable (RGP) lenses: Sturdier lenses that offer sharp visual clarity for irregular eye shapes.
  • Light-adapting lenses: Lenses that automatically darken in bright sunlight to help reduce glare and protect against UV rays.
