Contact lenses give you the benefits of corrected vision without the bulkiness of glasses. While they require a little more maintenance, many of our patients find that contact lenses are more convenient and more satisfying than glasses. If you are interested in visiting Noblesville Eye Doctor, Amy Walden, for a pair of contacts – read below for the benefits!
During your fitting appointment, your Noblesville Eye Doctor will collect medical history and discuss any eye problems that may affect the effectiveness of contact lenses.
Everyone has a different shape of their eye; what fits a person’s eyes may not fit another person’s. To determine the best fit, we measure the curvature of the eye, the curvature of the cornea, the size of the pupil, and measure the diameter of the iris. We may also evaluate your body’s ability to produce tears.
These test help determine the best type of lens to match your prescription.
The following conditions can make wearing contact lenses difficult and seemingly impossible. Dr. Amy Walden and associates are trained to find the best contact fitting to help you see your best. We work with your eyes to determine the best type of lens to meet all your eyesight needs.
Naturally dry eyes can be irritating, and trying to wear contact lenses can make them even worse. By working with an optometrist, you can find a contact lens that’s designed to retain moisture and allowing more oxygen into your eye, for a more comfortable fit.
Astigmatism is caused when either the cornea or the lens behind it is an irregular shape. This can make wearing contact difficult and uncomfortable.
Specially designed lenses correct this curve, allowing the wearer to see clearly. If you have astigmatism and are interested in contacts, call Dr. Amy Walden and Associates to have an optometrist assess your eyes and suggest the best type of lens for you.
If still need corrective contact lenses after your LASIK or other refractive surgery, our Noblesville Eye Doctors can recommend the type of lens to best suit your needs. Lasik and other refractive surgery can alter the shape of the cornea, making traditional contacts ineffective or uncomfortable. Optometrists will often recommend either a hybrid contact lens, which offers the vision-correcting benefits of a rigid lens while providing the comfort of a soft lens, or a high-definition lens that can correct refractive problems that may remain after surgery and provide sharper vision to the wearer.
We treat many problems ranging from eye infections, and allergies, to scratches and sudden loss of vision. In most cases an optometrist can see you for a same day appointment at either our Noblesville or Fishers location!
If you ever feel that your vision has changed, or are experiencing new symptoms, you should make an appointment right away.
As we mentioned before, if you wear contact lenses (no matter how frequently or infrequently) you need to be seen by an optometrist once a year. These annual exams check for problems that might have arisen from contact usage, or any new developing eye health issues.
