— Contact Lens Services —
Dr. Ringel's office utilizes a wide selection of contact lenses. Each patient is examined carefully to determine which lens is most suitable for them. Measurements of the curvature & size of the eye are taken to ensure a proper fit. Diagnostic lenses will then be applied to refine the contact lens prescription. Some patients require traditional disposable or frequent replacement lenses while others require a more custom rigid gas permeable contact lens.
Our office carries lenses from manufacturers like: Bausch & Lomb, Ciba Vision, CooperVision, Hydrogel, Johnson & Johnson, and Optical Connections.
The following styles are available: Soft Disposable Soft Frequent Replacement Soft Toric (for astigmatism) Bifocal (available in soft & gas permeable materials) Rigid Gas Permeable (including specialty designs for keratoconus or after corneal transplant) Colored Lenses
Patient who are new to contact lenses will be given thorough training on the insertion & removal of contact lenses. They will be taught the proper way to care for their lenses so that they will enjoy the benefits without harming their eyes. We gladly see patient who have worn contacts for many years, too. We recommend that these patients bring their old contact lens information to their first appointment in our office. This greatly facilitates the the contact lens evaluation process for continued contact lens wear.
