Contact Lenses
Whatever your individual vision needs are, Bloom Eye Associates has the solution.
At Bloom Eye Associates, we realize that contact lens prescriptions are much more complex than glasses prescriptions. Contact lens prescriptions involve many factors because they specify a power, curvature, diameter, thickness, material, tint and edge configuration. Because contact lenses are worn on the eyes, they automatically become a health consideration. Because of this, you want to choose an optometrist who is highly trained and experienced with all types of contact lenses, one like Dr. Andrew Pritchard at Bloom Eye Associates.
Dr. Pritchard is a Board-Certified Optometrist who has made contact lens fitting an integral part of his practice. He has a successful track record working with presbyopic and “hard-to-fit” patients and has expertise in fitting both hard and soft contacts. During your contact lens consultation, Dr. Pritchard will discuss your hobbies, work, lifestyle needs, medical history and prescription so that he can determine which type of contact lenses is precisely right for you. His ultimate goal is to give you good vision and comfort, plus maintain the health of your eyes.
Types of Contact Lenses
Contact lenses are worn by millions of Americans with refractive abnormalities such as myopia (nearsightedness), astigmatism (uneven focusing of light) and hyperopia (farsightedness). In addition, rare conditions such as keratoconus (cone-shaped cornea) are better-addressed with contact lenses than with glasses. Dr. Pritchard offers the full spectrum of contact lenses, including:
- Daily-wear lenses - These lenses are designed to be put in when you wake up and taken out before you go to sleep.
- Soft lenses - Made from soft plastic, these lenses offer the ultimate in comfort because they cause less friction on the eyelid.
- Rigid gas-permeable lenses - These lenses float in the tear fluid, allowing more oxygen to reach the cornea when you blink.
- Bifocal lenses - To correct both nearsightedness and farsightedness.
- Aphakic lenses - For people who have had cataracts removed.
- Toric lenses - To correct astigmatism.
- Colored lenses - A perfect choice if you are fashion-conscious.
- Extended-wear lenses - These lenses can be worn longer than 24 hours, even while sleeping, and in some cases, up to 30 days.
Good vision, comfort and the overall health of your eyes depend on properly fitted contacts, which Dr. Pritchard will provide you with.
