Specialty Lenses
Paragon CRT® (Corneal Refractive Therapy)
Paragon CRT is a specially designed oxygen permeable therapeutic contact lens used in Corneal Refractive Therapy. Corneal Refractive Therapy is a sophisticated non-surgical process that temporarily reshapes the cornea while you sleep. You remove the lenses when you awake and are able to go throughout the day without any other vision correction.
Alternative to LASIK
Not a good candidate for LASIK? Is surgery too risky or expensive? Continuous wear contact lenses may be right for you. Focus Night-Day silicone hydrogel soft lenses and Menicon Z rigid gas permeable lenses are FDA approved for up to 30 days and nights of continuous wear. Continuous wear lenses offer the convenience of LASIK, but allow for greater flexibility and control over your final prescription. The doctors at Kirman Eye have been very successful with this advanced technology and have many patients enjoying comfortable 30 day contact lens wear. Schedule an appointment today to see if continuous wear lenses are right for you!
Special Prescriptions: Bifocals and Torics
Bifocal contacts are available in both soft and rigid gas permeable lenses with some brands offering disposable lenses. Toric lenses are usually capable of correcting your astigmatism, unless you have an especially complex prescription. Today, toric lenses come in many varieties, including disposable, frequent replacement, multifocal and colored.
Almost anyone can wear Contact Lenses!
Regardless of whether you're diagnosed with near sightedness, far sightedness, astigmatism, presbyopia (requiring bifocals) or even keratoconus — Kirman Eye can help you make the transition to contact lenses. Based on your prescription and the curve of your eye, we'll select contact lenses that not only correct your vision, but also fit your eyes, and your lifestyle, comfortably.
Soft vs. Hard Lenses
Contact lenses are made from various types of plastics. The type of plastic used determines which category the lens falls into: Soft lenses or Rigid Gas Permeable lenses. Soft contacts are made up of 25% to 79% water and are generally very comfortable to wear. They are available in many affordable styles, including disposable and cosmetic. Rigid Gas Permeable lenses take longer to adapt to, but are more durable and more resistant to deposit buildup. Gas Permeable lenses tend to be less expensive over the life of the lens. The structure of a Gas Permeable lens sometimes offer crisper vision in comparison to the soft lens equivalent.
