Hard to Fit Contact Lenses

Are you finding it impossible to wear contact lenses? Do you find your regular contacts constantly uncomfortable or painful? You're not alone. Due to factors like individual eye shape, specific conditions, impairments, or post-surgery effects, some patients find it more difficult to wear contacts than others.

At Eyewear Unlimited, we specialize in cases involving hard-to-fit contacts. We aim to provide each patient with the most comfortable and cost-effective contact lens. We start with a specialized fitting to identify the best match for your condition. You might qualify as a candidate if you have the following conditions:

Astigmatism

Corneal Scarring

Dry Eyes

Giant Papillary Conjunctivitis (GPC)

Keratoconus

Post-LASIK or other refractive surgery

Presbyopia (reduced near vision common in individuals ages 40 and over)

Bifocal Lenses

Typically, people experience some form of eye strain or a decrease in their vision quality after turning 40. This change can be gradual or sudden, varying widely from person to person. However, most people entering their later years find that their vision could work better in their younger years.

You’re Not the Only One

A common symptom many people experience is difficulty focusing, particularly when trying to read up close or view things at a distance. This condition, presbyopia, can often lead to frustration as you struggle to read items clearly.

Understanding How Bifocals Work

At Eyewear Unlimited, we specialize in providing solutions for vision problems, including bifocal lenses. These lenses, which focus on two essential functions, offer more lens space than multifunctional glasses. This means they're more comfortable with activities like reading throughout the day. Bifocal lenses come in various shapes and models to suit individual needs, ensuring you receive the most personalized care possible.

If you're finding it hard to read in the evenings or getting headaches from working on a computer, it might be time to get some help. Bifocals can be highly beneficial, providing you with clear vision again without disrupting your distance vision.

Contact Lens Fittings

At Eyewear Unlimited in Columbus, GA, we assist patients in improving their vision with contact lenses. Contact lenses are fantastic alternatives to eyeglasses. They're not only comfortable, but they also enhance your appearance. You can choose to wear contacts only at work, on weekends, or daily. That's beautiful about connections - they can be tailored to suit your lifestyle.

Eyes Are Your Assets

Your eyes are one of your most crucial physical assets. They enable you to read, identify what you're eating or drinking, and navigate your surroundings. Your eyes are constantly at work from the moment you wake up until you sleep. If your vision is sharp enough, you may stumble into objects, misplace necessary items, or struggle with daily tasks. The great thing about contact lenses is that they can enhance your vision and prevent these common problems. Our optometrist can ensure that your contacts fit correctly, feel comfortable, and that you're well-versed in contact lens safety and hygiene.

Contact Lens Consultation

Even if you have no vision problems, you must regularly check your eyes to ensure their health. Lifestyle and health conditions such as astigmatism and dry eye syndrome can influence the type of contacts suitable for you. Our eye doctor will examine you to determine if you have a condition that prevents you from wearing contacts. After the examination, our optometrist will discuss several contact lens options with you. Depending on your needs and lifestyle, our doctor might suggest the following contacts:

Daily disposables lenses

Monthly disposable lenses

Multifocal or bifocal contact lenses

Monovision

Measuring Your Eyes

While it may seem like contacts fit any eye, this isn't the case. Our optometrist must take specific eye measurements to ensure your contacts fit comfortably without blurring or impairing your vision. An instrument known as a keratometer measures your cornea's curvature and analyzes light reflections. We measure your pupil's size with a pupil gauge. We evaluate your tear production ability by inserting a small strip of paper under your lower eyelid, known as a tear film evaluation.

Contact Lenses

Contact Lenses Provided by an Optometrist in Columbus, GA

Contact lenses offer numerous benefits, including convenience and manageable replacement costs. Plus, some people find them more aesthetically pleasing. If you've never had a contact lens exam, it's slightly different from an eyeglasses exam. At Eyewear Unlimited, serving Columbus, GA, and surrounding areas, we perform vision screenings, offer fitting services, and assist you in selecting the best type of contacts for your needs.
Visual Acuity Exam

Our optometrist conducts a visual acuity test in the first part of your contact lens exam. During this exam, you look into a phoropter machine to see lines of letters. You read the sequence that appears most transparent to you, and our optometrist uses this information to determine your vision. This test is performed on both of your eyes.
Following the visual acuity test, our optometrist screens you for astigmatism using a different machine. You look into the lens and identify which image appears clearer from each pair shown. Based on your responses, our optometrist can determine whether you have astigmatism and how severe it might be. Depending on these results, you might need toric lenses or ones specifically designed for astigmatism to improve your vision.
Eye Health Test

In another part of your examination, our eye care physician conducts tests to ensure your eye health. One of these tests is application tonometry, where a machine blows a puff of air into your eye to measure its pressure. This test can help our optometrist detect glaucoma. Our optometrist also evaluates the back of your eye by having you look into a specialized magnifying glass. This allows us to assess your retina. If you have health concerns like diabetes, you may need additional testing.

Progressive Lenses

Eyewear Unlimited Offers Progressive Lenses

As you age, the natural lenses in your eyes become less flexible, making it harder to focus at different distances. This condition, known as presbyopia, affects almost everyone over forty. While presbyopia traditionally required bifocals, you can now get progressive lenses that function like bifocal or even trifocal glasses without a line across the lens. At Eyewear Unlimited, our optometrist assists residents in the Columbus metro area with obtaining progressive lenses. These lenses improve their near and far vision without the inconvenience of obstructive lines across their view.
Solving Many Problems With Progressive Glasses

Progressive lenses merge corrections for various visual distances into one lens. The lens's upper portion typically addresses distance vision, while the lower part corrects near vision, suiting most people's needs.
Hide Your Age Traditional bifocal or trifocal glasses display a visible line across the lens center. These old-fashioned bifocals are often associated with age, common among those over 40. One of the significant advantages of progressive lenses is the absence of visible lines separating the vision fields. This lack of lines doesn't obstruct your eyes' view through the glasses, which keeps people guessing about your age. You'll appear to be wearing the same eyeglasses as those in their 20s or 30s.
Enhance Your Vision Some individuals struggle with traditional bifocals. The lens lines dividing the vision fields can distract and hinder their sight. Progressive glasses eliminate this issue. The absence of lines means no distractions, improving your overall vision.

Eyeglasses

If you need a new pair of eyeglasses, you may be concerned about which type to choose. Your first step towards getting a couple of glasses you'll love is scheduling an appointment at Eyewear Unlimited in Columbus. Our optometrist will evaluate your vision and eye health and determine your prescription strength. Here are some tips for selecting a new pair of eyeglasses.

Along Someone to Help

Bringing someone along to your examination appointment is always helpful. If you dilate your pupils for certain eye checks, they can drive you home afterward. Moreover, they can watch as you try on different frames and help you select a pair that complements your facial features beautifully.
Keep Your Head Shape in Mind

Knowing the shape of your face is crucial for choosing frames that complement it. For instance, choosing angular or squared frames will balance your features if you have a round face. If your face is long, round frames will draw the eyes upward towards your frames. If you need more clarification about your face shape, you can trace the outline on tracing paper over your photograph. Once you lift the form off the photo, you'll have a shape to guide you in picking the right frame type.
Let Our Staff Assist

Our staff members are trained to help our customers with their frame selection. Let them know what type of features you wish your frames to include, and they will point you in the right direction to finding exactly what you are looking for. We offer many styles, colors, and brands, making finding frames that meet your desires easy.
