About Contact Lenses
Excellent Service
Dr. Anderson understands the concept of hard to fit contact lenses. He has a very difficult prescription with a lot of astigmatism. He was a hard to fit contact lens patient many years ago. That is why Dr. Anderson has a corneal topographer to evaluate the corneal shape looking for any irregularities or complications to fitting contact lenses. A thorough eye examination is performed to determine your suitability for contact lenses. All contact lens fittings include a comprehensive examination, corneal topography, the lenses, care kit, instructions for wearing schedule and cleaning, and unlimited follow up visits for three months.
Reasons to consider Contact Lenses
- Contact lenses provide improved peripheral vision, decrease distortions caused by glasses
- Contact lenses allow better performance in sports and an active lifestyle
- Cosmetic improvement
- Glasses fog up in many winter activities, such as snow skiing or snowmobiling
Financial Considerations
The cost of contact lenses is dependent on the type of lens and modality that is agreed upon by Dr. Anderson and the patient. There are many factors that make up the total cost of the contact lenses:
- Comprehensive eye exam
- Contact lens evaluation
- Corneal topography
- Care kit solutions
- Instructions and dispensing from a staff member
- Follow up visits (at least three months)
- And finally the contact lenses
- Contact lens service agreement
If you already wear contact lenses and need to update your prescription, Dr. Anderson will want to have your previous prescription transferred to his office and to schedule a routine comprehensive eye exam. The fees associated with this are minimal when compared to a new patient with no previous contact lens experience.
The various contact lens options have advantages and disadvantages that are all evaluated during the contact lens evaluations to find the best fit for each patient’s needs.
