Finding the right fit for contact lenses isn’t too different from finding the right frames. We want to make sure your new lenses fit correctly so they don’t cause distractions, discomfort, or unstable vision.

Just as you may try on a few pairs of frames to find the right fit and style, we have many options of contact lenses to choose from. Our optometrists will provide you with guidance on selecting the lens style that suits your vision and comfort needs. We also take meticulous measurements to get an accurate fit, no matter which style of lens you choose.

How Contact Lenses Can Help

Contact lenses can correct a range of refractive errors, including:

During your exam, our optometrists review your medical and eye health history, assess your eyes for any conditions that may affect contact lens wear, and determine a lens style that is tailored to your prescription and comfort.

The Contact Lens Exam and Fitting Process

Finding the right contact lenses is about so much more than clear sight. It’s about feeling comfortable, confident, and ready for your day.

At Tecumseh Eyecare, our exam and fitting process is designed to help find lenses that align with your unique eyes and lifestyle. From carefully measuring your eyes to trialling a test pair together, we walk with you through every step of the journey to support your clear vision and everyday comfort.

A comprehensive contact lens exam is the first step to your first or newest pair of lenses. We evaluate your eyes for suitability, measure your prescription, and determine if specialty lenses are required. 

Your prescription for contacts differs from your glasses.

Once we confirm you are a candidate for contact lenses and decide on the style you’ll wear, we take detailed measurements of your eyes, including curvature and corneal shape, often using corneal topography. This makes sure your lenses fit properly, providing clear vision and lasting comfort.

We provide a trial pair of lenses to make sure they meet your visual needs and comfort preferences. We will discuss expectations with you, such as any adjustment period to get used to your new lenses. Then we’ll follow up with you to discuss the fit.

If adjustments are needed, we will explore other powers, styles, or brands until the perfect fit is found.

Our Specialty Contact Lenses

Standard soft contact lenses and rigid gas-permeable lenses can fit a wide range of eyes and prescriptions, but sometimes you need some specific features to improve your clarity and comfort. That’s where specialty lenses come in.

We offer a wide range of specialty lenses for unique needs, including:

  • Multifocal lenses: Correct near and distance vision in a single lens, ideal for presbyopia.
  • Toric lenses: Designed for astigmatism, available in soft or rigid gas-permeable options.
  • Ortho-K/CRT: Rigid lenses worn overnight to reshape the cornea and correct myopia during the day. Changes to the cornea are temporary and only last while you wear the lenses.
  • Scleral lenses: Larger lenses that vault over the cornea and rest on the white part of the eye for patients with keratoconus, extreme dry eye, or irregular corneas.
  • Specialty lenses for dry eye or corneal irregularities: Rigid gas permeable and scleral designs for comfort and sharp vision.
  • Transitions contact lenses: Photochromic lenses that darken in sunlight for UV protection and reduced glare.
