Contact lenses, fitted properly.
A glasses prescription is not a contact lens prescription. A fitting measures your eye's curve, picks a lens, and checks it on your eye a week later.
Measure, try, check.
We map the front of your eye with the topographer, pick a lens by curve and size, and put a trial pair in. You wear it around town for about a week. Then you come back and we look at how it sits, how it moves and how your eye likes it.
The fitting is on top of your eye exam because it is extra work and an extra visit. It includes the trial pairs and the follow up.

Astigmatism lenses have to sit at a set angle on your eye, so they take more trial and error. Multifocals let you read a menu and see the road without readers, and they usually need one or two tweaks.
Dr. Ortega does most of these. If you were told contacts would never work for you, come and see him. Sometimes that is true, often it was the wrong lens.
You will still need a current eye exam. Dry, gritty eyes by the end of the day? That is a dry eye question first. Kids from about age eight can wear dailies, see kids exams. Ready? Book a fitting.
