Types of Contact Lenses

If you are considering switching from glasses to contact lenses, our optometrist at Lock Family Eye Care can help you. We offer contact lenses for individuals with nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism, and we can even fit you with contact lenses if you have hard-to-fit eyes.

Contact Lenses Offered by Our West Des Moines Optometrist

Our West Des Moines optometrist offers contact lenses from Cooper Vision, Ciba Vision, Bausch+Lomb and Vistacon in a wide range of powers so that you can see clearly while you work, drive, read and participate in recreational activities.

Soft – Soft contact lenses are extremely comfortable and can correct a wide range of refractive errors. If you have dry eye, there are soft contacts available that offer better moisture retention.

Hard – Hard or gas permeable contact lenses require a short adjustment period before they become completely comfortable. These lenses offer clear vision and can correct most types of refractive errors.

Scleral – Scleral lenses are rigid gas permeable lenses that vault entirely over the cornea. These lenses are often recommended for individuals with keratoconus or a severely irregularly shaped cornea.

Multi-Focus – Multi-focus lenses are available in hard and soft version. These lenses work well for individuals with presbyopia or another eye condition that requires separate prescriptions for near and distant vision.
