Contact Lens Services and Color Deficiency Lenses

Dr. Amin is a contact lens specialist!  We have a wide array of contact lenses to fit your visual needs.  We have soft contact lenses, RGP lenses (hard lenses), bifocal, multifocal, astigmatic, colored contacts and specialty/custom lenses.

The shape and physiology of the eye can be altered with a medical device commonly known as the contact lens. Before contact lenses are prescribed, a careful evaluation is required. This insures you are a candidate for contact lenses. Here, we test your eyes with a corneal topographer. This computerized instrument measures the eye curvature over 100 times more accurately than previous techniques, allowing greater success in fitting bifocal, astigmatic (toric) and general contact lenses. The corneal topographer shows the hills, valleys and curves of the cornea.  The cornea is responsible for 2/3 for the focusing power of the eye.

For patients who are near-sighted, we offer a non-surgical corrective technique called corneal molding or orthokeratology. This allows some patients to sleep in contact lenses overnight and remove them in the morning. These patients can then see the entire day without contact lenses or glasses. Call us to see if corneal molding is right for you.  

Our doctors are also experienced in fitting contact lenses for Keratoconus patients. According to the Keratoconus is a non-inflammatory eye condition in which the normally round dome-shaped cornea progressively thins causing a cone-like bulge to develop. In the beginning stages, vision can be corrected with glasses or soft contact lenses. As the disease progresses, gas permeable contacts will need to be prescribed to attain the best visual acuity.

For the past several decades there has been a tremendous amount of research in the area of color vision and color perception. Several new and exciting filters have been developed both in the area of contact lenses and spectacle lenses. With the Colormax system, patients are able to appreciate more normal color perception for the first time in their life. Patients who have had extreme color blindness can now tell the differences between subtle color changes.

Special contact lenses using the Colormax/Chromagen system has been developed to correct color deficiencies. The testing process takes approximately 45 minutes and patients can actually experience looking through these filters immediately following the evaluation.

Several of our patients have been so excited about the changes they haven't stopped talking about it since they received their lenses. An artist was able to see, for the first time, which colors he was actually painting. Please call our office or E-mail us for more information on this exciting new color correction process.
