At Hartsdale Family Eye Care, we specialize in providing contact lenses for both young and adult patients with various eye issues.
We offer custom fit contact lenses including scleral lenses and Ortho-K contacts. We also fit a wide variety of styles including daily contact lenses, multifocal lenses, contact lenses for astigmatism, contacts for dry eye, we can make them available.
If you have been told that you are not a candidate for contact lenses, speak to Dr. Schwartz about the latest developments in custom lens design.
We offer our patients daily disposable contact lenses. Daily contacts offer convenience and comfort and often result in a great improvement to your vision. These single-use lenses can be removed and disposed at the end of the day, reducing discomfort and the need for proper contact lens care. Daily contacts are the ideal solution for patients that experience mild discomfort and dry eye from their current lenses or glasses.
Astigmatism is a common eye condition which causes fuzzy or blurred vision. This eye condition often occurs when the cornea is irregularly shaped. The irregularity in the cornea may be as a result of the curvature of the lens inside the eye.
Patients with astigmatism may not be able to wear regular contact lenses. Instead, they will need specially designed contact lenses. These contact lenses used for correcting astigmatism are referred to as toric contact lenses.
Toric contact lenses feature two prescriptions. While one prescription helps in correcting astigmatism, the other will correct near or farsightedness. If you are experiencing fuzzy or blurred vision due to your astigmatism, and you live near our Hartsdale eye care clinic, we have the ideal contact lens that can help you achieve sharper vision and increased comfort.
Multifocal lenses are suitable for patients that find it hard to carry out activities that require transitioning between near and distant objects. Multifocal lenses contain two or more lens powers to help you see distant objects after losing the ability to change your eye focus naturally. Patients with presbyopia, the natural condition that occurs with aging and is traditionally is fixed with reading glasses, can take now enjoy easy reading with multifocal lenses. For kids with nearsightedness, multifocal contact lenses also offer the ability to slow down the progression and reduce the risk of eye disease later in life.
Advances in lens design technology have made it possible for us to design custom scleral lenses that can improve vision for a variety of corneal diseases, dystrophies, and conditions.
The lenses are perfect to provide relief and comfort for patients with Keratoconus, Post Lasik Complications, Corneal irregularities, and severe dry eye among other conditions. Patients with keratoconus have exceptional results with Scleral lenses, both with their vision and comfort.
Ortho K lenses are specially designed contact lenses will help reshape the contour of your cornea while you sleep, much like braces or retainers. By wearing the lenses when you sleep at night, you will wake up with an excellent vision, without needing to wear glasses or contact lenses the whole next day! Ortho-K contacts are especially recommended for children that are nearsighted (have myopia) as they reduce the risk of eye disease associated with high levels of myopia.
Our well-detailed contact lens fittings consist of several checks using advanced technology which include;
- Examining the front surface of your eyes
- Testing your vision and visual acuity on a chart
- Taking measurements of the front surface of your eyes
- Assessing your lifestyle to determine the ideal lens
Once we have carried out all required checks, we will be able to select the perfect contacts and prescription for you. We will also show you a step-by-step demonstration of how to insert, remove, and care for your contact lenses.
Improve the vision, eye health, and confidence of your child with contact lenses. Contact lenses in many cases the ideal solution for children as they;
- Improve vision when compared to regular glasses, improving classroom learning, reading, and writing.
- Improve the self-esteem and confidence of children as young as 8
