Vision Care Backed by Experience

Dr. Brian Norman is a licensed and board-certified professional who leads Norman Professional Eyecare with a keen emphasis on prioritizing clinical accuracy and patient health. With almost two decades of practice as an optometrist, Dr. Norman brings precision and dedication to providing individualized care for every contact lens fitting.

Contact lenses require a unique prescription since they come into contact with the eye. Due to this, the fitting must account for numerous variables, including corneal geometry, tear film, eye health, and lens type. Dr. Norman's thorough, hands-on approach ensures that every contact lens prescription is medically and lifestyle-suited.

What to Expect from a Contact Lens Prescription Appointment?

A contact lens fitting differs from a standard eyeglass prescription because it involves additional measurements and evaluations.

1. Complete Eye Exam: A complete eye exam is the foundation of all contact lens prescriptions. This allows us to review your overall eye health, check for conditions that influence lens wear, and write your vision correction requirements.
2. Corneal Measurement: We take your cornea's measurement and curvature with a specialized instrument. These are necessary to ensure proper lens fit, particularly in people with astigmatism or irregularly shaped corneas.
3. Tear Film Evaluation: We also examine your tear quality and quantity. Contact lenses depend upon healthy tear function to be comfortable and to move. If dryness is an issue, we will discuss lenses that permit moisture to remain.
4. Trial Lenses and Fitting: After determining the appropriate lens type, you'll be fitted with trial lenses. Dr. Norman will evaluate how the lenses fit on your eyes, how smoothly they move with each blink, and the clarity of your vision. Necessary adjustments are made for the best fit and performance.
5. Training and Follow-Up: If you're new to wearing contact lenses, we will teach you how to insert, remove, clean, and store them correctly. We can also schedule a follow-up appointment to ensure the lenses provide the vision and comfort needed.

Types of Contact Lenses We Prescribe

We prescribe many different types of contact lenses at Norman Professional Eyecare, including:

• Soft Lenses: Soft lenses are the most popular choice for daily wear because they are comfortable and easy to adapt. Available in daily, bi-weekly, and monthly forms.
• Toric Lenses: Featuring specially weighted and shaped designs that maintain correct orientation on the eye, toric lenses are designed specifically for astigmatism correction.
• Multifocal Lenses: For patients with presbyopia, multifocal contacts provide clear vision at all distances.
• Rigid Gas Permeable (RGP) Lenses: These lenses are often preferred for complex prescriptions or certain corneal conditions.
• Colored or Cosmetic Lenses: While not a primary focus, we can discuss tinted lenses that align with your prescription if desired.

Each lens is carefully selected based on your ocular condition, prescription strength, lifestyle, and comfort needs.
