At Middletown Eye Care & New Castle Eye Associates, we strive to meet all your eye and vision care needs. From eyeglasses and lenses to addressing vision problems, if you are looking for an optometrist near you in the New Castle, DE, area, we can help. Our optometrists provide services like corrective lens evaluations and prescription management.
After a comprehensive eye exam and vision evaluation, your eye doctor will discuss the range of contact lens options that best fit your vision needs and lifestyle. If you suffer from dry eye, allergies, or recurring eye infections, speak with our staff to determine whether or not contact lenses are a good option for your condition.
Evaluation
Before prescribing contact lenses, our doctors determine what level of vision correction you require. Refractive errors (commonly known as nearsightedness, farsightedness, or astigmatism, depending on the error) are evaluated by measuring how the eyes focus when different lenses are placed in front of them. An optometrist may use a phoropter or an automated instrument to take these measurements.
Corrective Lenses
After determining the level of your refractive error, our doctors work with you to determine whether contact lenses or glasses are best suited to your lifestyle. If you suffer from certain conditions, such as dry eye or allergies, glasses may be the most comfortable corrective solution. Contact lenses are available in either soft or rigid gas-permeable form. Contact lenses need to be changed daily, weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly, depending on the type of lens you select. Specialized contact lenses, such as bifocal contact lenses, are also available for patients with special eye conditions.
Cosmetic Lenses
Advances in contact lens technology have created great options for cosmetic and prosthetic lenses. Custom contact lenses can camouflage any color variation or irregularity and produce a natural eye color. Cosmetic lenses are also available to transform your eye color. If you are interested in modifying or changing your eye color with contact lenses, we can help.
