Contact Lens Exams, Fittings, & Brands in San Diego

Ortho-k contact lenses are a specialty lens used to slow the progression of myopia in younger patients. By correcting vision and providing myopic defocus, these lenses can slow the eye’s growth, preventing it from elongating.

The elongation of the eye results in the worsening of a patient’s myopic prescription, which can lead to sight-threatening conditions. Learn more on our Myopia Control page.

Aspheric contact lenses can provide clearer vision at various angles and reduce distortion for those with less spherical corneas or eyes. Because aspheric lenses can correct vision at different angles, these lenses may be a better option for patients with higher prescriptions.

Toric contact lenses are designed for patients with astigmatism.

These lenses are made to fit your eye, so the shape can be different from a regular contact lens. This shape provides a unique focusing power that can correct vision errors caused by astigmatism in a way that single-vision lenses can’t.

Toric lenses can correct corneal (front surface of the eye) and lenticular (natural inner lens of the eye) astigmatism.

Multifocal contact lenses contain 2 or more prescriptions in a single lens. This allows patients to see clearly at varying distances. For patients with presbyopia, multifocal contact lenses may be an excellent option.

Hybrid contact lenses are a combination of soft lenses and rigid gas-permeable lenses. These lenses provide patients with sharp vision and optimal comfort.

Hybrid contacts have a center that is gas permeable with a skirt of soft hydrogel material.
