Contacts
A good pair of contacts on our eyes should go together Simon & Garfunkel, McCartney & Lennon, Sonny & Cher — you get where we’re going with this. To get that musical match between contacts and eyes, we analyze the best fit through a data-driven process.

Find the Perfect Fit

Types of Contact Lenses
Specialty Contact Lenses
Specialty lenses are customized, crafted molds that give patients a high level of visual performance and comfort. One example is a scleral lens, which is used in situations where irregularities in the shape of the cornea make it virtually impossible to fit a standard lens. Another common option is orthok-k lenses, which are hard corneal molds worn at night. These gently reshape the cornea, providing clear vision for patients who struggle with myopia (nearsightedness), astigmatism, or a changing prescription.
Corneal Disease
Many ocular conditions can make it difficult to wear standard contacts. Those include: Keratoconus, Corneal scarring, Dry eye syndrome, Pellucid Marginal Degeneration, Giant Papillary Conjunctivitis (GPC), Post-LASIK, or other refractive procedure Astigmatism. Our eye doctors will check your eyes thoroughly to identify which specialty contact lenses will give you the best fit.
We utilize the pentacam Coreal Scleral Profile (CSP) software to custom map the patient's scleral curvatures and contours for a truely customized scleral lens, perfect for irregular corneas like keratoconus or corneal injuries.
Altius® Performance Contact Lenses
For many outdoor sports, sunglasses simply aren't practical. Altius® Performance Contact Lenses are designed for athletes and active individuals who need clear vision, reduced glare, and added UV protection without the limitations of eyewear. Whether you're playing basketball, soccer, baseball, tennis, golf, or other outdoor sports, Altius lenses help improve visual comfort so you can stay focused on your performance.
Altius lenses are also an excellent option for water sports and aquatic activities where sunglasses are impractical or impossible to wear. Lifeguards, water polo players, surfers, paddleboarders, kayakers, sailors, and beach volleyball athletes spend hours exposed to intense sunlight reflected off the water. Altius lenses help reduce glare and provide additional UV protection, making them an ideal choice for maintaining comfortable, clear vision during long days on or around the water.
Please note: Contact lenses do not cover the entire eye and should not be considered a replacement for UV-blocking sunglasses whenever they can be safely worn. Altius lenses provide an added layer of protection for activities where sunglasses are not a practical option
