Contact Lenses in Edmonton
Contact Lenses
Contact lenses offer clear, convenient vision for work, sports, and everyday life. At McCormack Optometric Centre, our team provides contact lens exams and fittings for patients seeking comfortable, safe, and suitable contact lenses in Edmonton.
What to Expect During a Contact Lens Exam at McCormack Optometric Centre
A contact lens exam is different from a routine eye exam. Your optometrist checks your prescription, measures the shape of your cornea, and evaluates how contact lenses will fit on the surface of your eye.
These measurements help ensure your lenses provide clear vision, remain comfortable throughout the day, and support healthy tear film and corneal function. Newer lens materials and designs now allow many patients with astigmatism, dryness, or past comfort issues to successfully wear contact lenses.
Contact Lens Options We Recommend
Soft Contact Lenses for Everyday Comfort & Convenience
Many patients choose soft contact lenses because they offer freedom from glasses during daily activities. Depending on your prescription and lifestyle, your optometrist may recommend a lens design that improves both vision and comfort. Common soft contact lens options include:
-
Daily disposable lenses
-
Monthly replacement lenses
-
Toric lenses for astigmatism
-
Multifocal lenses for presbyopia
If you are looking for an optometrist in Edmonton to help you choose contact lenses that suit your eyes and routine, our clinic can help.
Specialty Contact Lenses for More Complex Vision Needs
Some patients need specialty contact lenses because standard soft lenses do not provide enough comfort or visual clarity. McCormack Optometric Centre offers specialty contact lens fittings for more complex prescriptions and eye conditions. Specialty options may include:
-
Scleral lenses for irregular corneas or dry eye
-
Orthokeratology (ortho-k) lenses worn overnight to provide clear daytime vision
-
Custom contact lenses for unique prescriptions
These lenses can be helpful for patients with dry eye or more complex vision needs. If you need an eye doctor in Edmonton to assess contact lens comfort and fit, our optometrists can recommend options that improve both vision and eye health.
