The Contact Lens Consultation
Contact lens technology is always changing and new material innovations help make contacts more and more comfortable for more wearers. Each contact lens brand has different advantages and specifications, so the first step is to talk to your optometrist about your eye health, lifestyle and how you would use your lenses. For example, a person suffering from dry eye who wears bifocals will have a completely different need than a daily disposable wearer with a small prescription.
There are many options to consider, but some of the most popular are daily disposable lenses and monthly disposable lenses. For people over 40, monovision and multifocal lenses might be a great fit. Your doctor will help yo match your specific needs, including astigmatism, to your contact lens choice.
Iris and Pupil Size Considerations
Your eye doctor might measure the size of your iris and/or your pupil with a slit lamp. This measurement is particularly important for specialty lenses like Rigid Gas Permeable (RGP) lenses.
Tear Film Evaluation
Dry eye is a very common issue with contact lens wearers, particularly in Cincinnati with our river valley allergens like ragweed and tree pollen. Looking at devices and staying inside during Cincinnati winters can also contribute to dry eye. Contact lenses than are not properly hydrated and moist will become more uncomfortable and eyes can become dry, irritated and/or itchy. When appropriate, our doctors will check your tear film to make sure it is sufficient to keep your eyes comfortable.
A tear film evaluation is performed with a drop of liquid dye into the eye and then viewing your tears through a slit lamp. If your tear film is weak, your eye doctor may recommend a higher moisture retention contact lens.
Follow-Up Appointments
Once you have been fitted with your contact lenses, the next step is to wear a trial pair for approximately a week. You will then return for a short follow-up exam to ensure the lenses fit properly and provide optimal vision and comfort. This appointment also gives you the opportunity to discuss any concerns or questions you may have. After that, regular follow-up exams are essential for maintaining eye health. During these exams, your optometrist will evaluate the fit of your contact lenses and assess your overall eye health. Attending these follow-up exams ensures that your contact lenses continue to provide clear vision and comfortable wear.

Hassel-Free Daily Contact Lenses
Daily disposable contact lenses like Cooper MyDay and Acuvue Oasys are convenient and hygienic options for vision correction. They are worn only once and discarded, eliminating the need for cleaning and storing. The benefits of daily disposable contacts include reduced risk of eye infections, increased comfort, and hassle-free maintenance. They are an excellent choice for those with busy lifestyles.
Myopia control lenses are soft contact lenses with a unique design that helps slow the progression of nearsightedness in children and teens. These lenses are inserted and removed like regular contacts, providing clear vision. After a thorough eye exam and measurements, the best lens option will be discussed with the parents and patient. Regular follow-ups are scheduled to monitor vision and track myopia progression. Visit our Myopia Management page to learn more and schedule an assessment for your child.
Bifocal and Multifocal Contact Lenses For Presbyopia
Bifocal and multifocal contact lenses address the vision needs of individuals with presbyopia who struggle with both near and far vision. These lenses incorporate distance and near prescriptions into a single lens, allowing for clear vision at multiple distances. Available in soft and gas-permeable materials, bifocal and multifocal contact lenses provide convenience and flexibility for those seeking to correct their presbyopia and enjoy clear vision.
Rigid Gas-Permeable (RGP) Contact Lenses
Rigid gas-permeable (RGP) contact lenses are made of a rigid plastic material that allows oxygen transmission to the eyes. These lenses offer excellent eye health benefits as they resist deposits and are less likely to cause eye infections than soft lenses. RGP lenses suit individuals with irregular corneas and various refractive errors such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism, and presbyopia. They are easier to handle, longer-lasting, and can be a cost-effective alternative to scleral lenses.
Correcting Astigmatism With Toric Lenses
Toric lenses are contact lenses for individuals with astigmatism. Unlike a spherical eyeball, astigmatic eyes have a slightly irregular shape. Toric lenses are made from the same materials as regular contacts but have different powers in different meridians to correct both astigmatism and nearsightedness or farsightedness. They are available in soft and rigid gas-permeable forms and various wearing options, such as extended-wear and daily disposables. Toric lenses provide comfortable and effective vision correction for those with astigmatism.
Manage Myopia With Orthokeratology Lenses
Orthokeratology (Ortho-K) lenses are a non-surgical treatment for myopia and astigmatism that reshape the cornea while you sleep. This temporary and reversible option offers vision correction without surgical risks. The doctors at Madeira Optical use advanced fitting technology to ensure precise prescription and fit. Consult with our optometrists to determine if Ortho-K is a suitable option for you or your child.
Scleral Lenses For Hard-To-Fit Eyes
Scleral lenses are specialized RGP lenses with a large diameter covering the entire cornea. They provide a new optical surface, effectively replacing the irregular cornea with a smooth one. While the need for scleral lenses is rare, they are highly effective for patients with irregular corneas. These lenses offer improved visual acuity, comfort, and stability, making them ideal for individuals with keratoconus, corneal irregularities, and severe dry eye syndrome. The Madeira Optical team can guide you through the fitting and care process for scleral lenses.
