If you wear or are interested in wearing contact lenses, make sure to mention it when scheduling your eye exam. A contact lens exam is not much different from a routine eye exam.   Some additional tests will be performed to examine the fit of your contact lenses. Contact lenses are a great alternative offering improved vision and peripheral awareness.  Warm Springs Optometric Group offers a full compliment of the newest technologically advanced lenses to meet your vision demands.  These include:                          Daily Wear                          Overnight Wear                          Disposable                          Bifocal                          Astigmatism                          Myopia Control                          Corneal Refractive Therapy (CRT) After finding a contact lens that is comfortable for you, fits properly, and provides good vision, we will write a prescription for your contact lenses which contains the parameters of your new contact lenses.  Annual eye exams are recommended so we can monitor the health of your eyes, and check on the progress with the contact lenses.   We want you to feel prepared for your exam with us, so here are some frequently asked questions regarding contact lenses. What are contact lens professional fees for? As a contact lens wearer additional tests are done for you that are necessary to make sure your eyes are healthy, that your lenses fit properly and to ensure that you are seeing as well as possible.  Contact lens professional fees are for the extra testing and time taken by the staff and doctor each year to properly evaluate your contact lenses. What types of additional test are needed? Corneal topography is one example of a test done for contact lens wearers.  With this computerized data we can detect any undesirable changes of the cornea caused by wearing contact lenses.  A second test uses the microscope to examine the fit of the contact lens and the health of the cornea. Thirdly, prescription measurements are done which are different than those for glasses. Isn’t this part of my annual eye exam? These contact lens-related tests are done in addition to the eye examination.  These are procedures that only need to be done for contact lens wearers, not for patients who don’t wear contact lenses. Doesn’t my insurance cover contact lens professional fees? It depends on your plan’s coverage. Most insurance plans cover a routine eye exam which determines your glasses prescription and evaluates your eye health.  Contact lens services are separate procedures that often are not covered by insurance. How much does it cost? Depending on the type of lenses you wear the cost range from $ 52 to 260 annually.    If you are a contact lens wearer, schedule a contact lens exam with us today!

Contact lenses come in many types and styles.  Depending on your visual needs, the optimal contact lens for you may vary.  By performing several tests, we can determine which contact lens will benefit you the most.  Some specialty contact lens fittings that we are experienced in performing are the following:<img style="margin: 10px; float: right;" src="../uploaded_images/business_images/0004/8269/Colored-Contact.jpg" alt="" /> Contact Lenses for Astigmatism While there have been limitations in contact lens options for people with astigmatism in the past, new advances in technology have now made toric contact lenses common place.  Properly fitting a toric lens requires much time and patience, as well as a skillful doctor such as Drs. Pirrone and Fauria.  During your exam, we will determine if fitting you into a toric contact lens is necessary, and identify the best lens design for you. Bifocal and Multifocal Contact Lenses Bifocal contact lenses are designed to give good vision to people who have a condition called presbyopia.  Presbyopia is a natural occurance with aging.  The main symptom that people notice is needing to hold reading material, like a menu or newspaper, further away to view it clearly.   Bifocal contact lenses are available in both soft and rigid gas permeable lenses.  There are many bifocal and multifocal contact lens designs.  We can help determine which design will be the best fit for you during our evaluation. Colored Contact Lenses If you want a subtle or dramatic change in your eye color, then colored contacts may be a great option for you!  Many of these contact lenses come with either no prescription, or with a prescription for near sightedness, far sightedness, astigmatism, and presbyopia.  During your exam, we will determine which contact lens brand suits you the best, by evaluating your vision, comfort with the contact lenses, and assess the fit of the contact lenses. <img style="margin: 10px; float: left;" src="../uploaded_images/business_images/0004/8273/Man-Portrait.jpg" alt="" />Post and Pre-operative Contact Lenses Depending on the type of surgery that was done, standard contact lenses may or may not work with post-operative corneas (the clear front surface of your eye).  Make an appointment with us, and we will determine which contact lenses provide you with optimal comfort, fit, and vision. Corneal Reshaping Therapy (CRT) Lenses Imagine being able to correct your refractive error while you sleep!  CRT is a technology that utilizes a special contact lens that gently reshapes your cornea while you sleep so that during the day time, you can take off the contact lenses and see clearly.  The great thing about CRT is that the effects are reversible.  If you try reshaping your cornea, and decide that you want laser eye surgery, or return back to glasses or standard contact lenses, you can do that easily. If you are interested in this technology, we can determine if you are a good candidate for CRT through your exam. Contact Lenses for the ‘Hard-to-fit” Patient People who are hard to fit with contact lenses may have moderate to severe cases of one of the following conditions such as Keratoconus or Giant Papillary Conjunctivitis.  Drs. Pirrone and Fauria are extremely skilled in fitting contact lenses for “hard-to-fit” patients, and welcomes trickier cases such as yours.

<h4>Most parents or caretakers wonder whether your child needs an eye exam. Vision screenings performed by school nurses are not as complete as a comprehensive eye exam performed by an optometrist.  Eye exams are extremely important for children, because vision problems are fairly common among preschoolers and school aged children.  By identifying your child’s vision problems early, your child will have greater success with treatment.  If left untreated, some eye conditions and diseases may stunt visual development and cause visual impairment.  According to the American Optometric Association, infants should have their first comprehensive eye exam by the age of six months.  After that, children should receive additional eye exams at the age of three, and then at the age of 5 or 6.  The American Optometric Association also recommends an eye exam every two years for school aged children who do not require vision correction.  Children that do need glasses or contact lenses should have eye exams according to your optometrist’s recommendations. </h4> <h4>When scheduling an eye exam for your child, choose a time when he or she is usually alert and in a good mood.  Be sure to tell us if your child has a history of delayed motor development, engages in frequent eye rubbing, fails to maintain eye contact, cannot keep visual fixation on an object, has poor eye tracking, or has failed a vision screening.  We will also want to know about previous ocular diagnoses. Make sure to inform us of any family history of eye problems, such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, strabismus, amblyopia, or eye diseases.</h4> Don't hesitate to call us and schedule a children's eye exam, to make sure your child has the best vision possible!

LASIK is a medical procedure that corrects for nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism.  It can also be used to help reading vision for some patients over 40.  LASIK is done under local anesthesia with a relatively short recovery period.  Your vision is generally excellent the next day and with careful monitoring will stabilize in a few weeks.  If you’re considering LASIK ask our doctors or staff about the procedure.  During your refractive surgery evaluation, we will ask you a few questions and perform various tests to determine if you are a good candidate for surgery.  If you are determined to be a good candidate, we will work with an highly qualified eye surgeon to determine the best type of refractive surgery for you.   After the surgery is complete, we will evaluate the progress of the surgery, and make sure no complications have occurred.
