While glasses are one of the most common ways to correct a refractive error, they aren’t for everyone. Contact lenses are an effective alternative to glasses.
At Bettner Vision, we offer various types of contact lenses from traditional soft and rigid lenses to specialty lenses designed for harder-to-fit eyes.
A thorough contact lens examination can help us determine your contact lens prescription, correct style, and fit. Visit us in Colorado Springs, and we’ll help you get one step closer to saying goodbye to glass.
Finding and fitting you with the best contact lenses for your needs is a 3-step process at Bettner vision, including your exam, fitting, and trial period.
Your exam includes an assessment of your visual acuity and eye health. This exam helps us determine if your eyes are suitable for contact lenses. We’ll review your medical history and address any questions or concerns you may have. If you’re an ideal candidate for contact lenses, we move on to your fitting.
We’ll examine your corneas and measure your tear film during the fitting process. The right fit is crucial for providing you with clear and comfortable vision when wearing your contacts. Technology such as anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT) helps ensure your lenses fit well.
After completing our examination and fitting, we will recommend the best contact lens style for your needs. Our team will examine your eyes after inserting your contacts for the first time to ensure you have clear and comfortable vision. If things are looking good, we will show you how to care for and clean your lenses and provide you with a care kit. Once the appointment is done, we will also give you a few trial pairs to take home.
Once you’ve had time to wear your contacts, we’ll meet with you again to discuss how you’re feeling about them. If you’re happy and satisfied, we’ll order a supply for you. If you feel those contacts weren’t quite right, we will try other brands and styles until we find the best contact lens for you.
Our team is here to help when it comes to your contact lenses. We can fit you with contacts that meet your unique vision needs and offer guidance on caring for and maintaining your lenses. Contact us if you’re interested in becoming glasses-free, and we can help find your ideal lenses.
We have a variety of contact lenses suited for every lifestyle. See what lenses we have to offer at Bettner Vision:
