Our experienced Doctor will fit you with the latest technology in contact lenses including:
Soft Contacts
Soft contact lenses are a popular and comfortable option for vision correction. Made from flexible, breathable materials, they conform to the shape of your eye. Soft lenses are easy to wear, come in various types for different vision needs, and are available in daily, biweekly, or monthly replacement options. They’re a great choice for those seeking convenience, comfort, and clear vision.
Rigid Gas Permeable Contacts
Rigid Gas Permeable (RGP) contact lenses are a durable, breathable option that provides clear vision and a more customized fit compared to soft lenses. While they may take some time to get used to due to their firm material, RGP lenses are known for their long-lasting durability, sharp vision, and are an excellent choice for people with specific vision needs or those who require a more precise fit.
Scleral Contacts
Specialty scleral contact lenses are large, gas-permeable lenses that create a stable, cushioned layer of fluid between the lens and the eye. These lenses are ideal for individuals with irregular corneas, such as those with keratoconus, or for those who have had eye surgeries. Scleral lenses provide exceptional comfort, sharp vision, and added protection for the eye, making them a great option for people with specific or complex vision needs that cannot be fully corrected with standard lenses.
Myopia Control Contacts
Myopia control refers to strategies and treatments designed to slow or halt the progression of nearsightedness (myopia) over time, particularly in children.
At Chicago Eye Care, we offer MiSight soft contact lenses which are designed specifically to help control the progression of myopia (nearsightedness) in children. These innovative lenses use a special design that slows down the elongation of the eye, which is the main cause of myopia worsening over time. MiSight lenses are comfortable, easy to wear, and are a safe, effective option for managing myopia in growing children.
Medically Necessary Contact Lenses
Medically necessary contact lenses are prescribed to treat or manage specific eye conditions or diseases, where traditional glasses cannot provide adequate vision correction or comfort. These lenses provide vision improvement and address underlying medical issues.
Conditions Requiring Medically Necessary Contact Lenses:
Keratoconus: A corneal deformation that causes irregular vision.
Dry Eye Syndrome: A condition where the eyes do not produce enough tears, leading to discomfort and blurred vision.
Aphakia: The absence of a natural lens in the eye, usually due to surgery.
Anisometropia: A significant difference in refractive power between the two eyes.
Corneal scarring: Damage to the cornea that can affect vision.
Irregular astigmatism: An abnormal curvature of the cornea that glasses cannot correct.
Benefits:
Improved vision and clarity, enhanced comfort and reduced dryness, protection from UV rays and other environmental factors, and management of underlying eye conditions.
