Lens Design employs the latest in eye measurement diagnostics and contact lens fitting techniques.

In order to fit contact lenses properly, special measurements of the eye have to be taken. The cornea which is the part of the eye that the contact lens sits on is not always perfectly round. The subtle differences in size that are measured in microns has to be ascertained to assure that the contact lens will be comfortable and the vision to be sharp. This is even more important in eyes that have high irregular astigmatism. 

The Exam Room

We use a Swiss made Haig-Streit Keratometer to make measurements of the optical surface of the cornea. We use an Orbscan II to measure more complex cornea geometry. Our refractive equipment is specially design to accommodate astigmatic prescriptions as high as 12.00 diopters and spherical prescriptions as high as 40.00 diopters. Microscopic examination of your eye via slit lamp is performed on every visit. Our computer records keep track of all graphics records and exam results with your personal file for current and future reference. Many other exam tools are available depending upon your specific needs. You can be assured that every effort has been taken to create the perfect contact lens fit for your eyes.

We make sure that are office and all our equipment is disinfected to the highest industry standards. Feel comfortable and assured that your examination is performed in a clean and disease free environment.

Orbscan® IIz cornea Topography and Pachymetry 

At Lens Design, we employ the Orbscan® IIz by Bausch and Lomb to measure the cornea to exacting topography and thickness. Cornea topography is the mapping of the cornea to see the different elevations and curvature of the cornea. Corneas with curvature anomalies can be mapped using the Orbscan® IIz to micron precision. A micron is 1/1000 of a millimeter. 

Pachymetry is the measurement of the cornea thickness. This measurement is vital for corneas that have Keratoconus or Pellucid Marginal Degeneration.

Cornea Map By Orbscan® IIz 

The Orbscan® IIz is the industry standard for making sure that these measurements have been taken with the highest precision.  With these advanced diagnostics, you can feel assured that your contact lens fitting has been performed with the highest level of attention to detail.
