Choosing the Right Contact Lens: From Multifocals to Sclerals

If you're considering contact lenses or struggling with your current pair, there’s a wide range of advanced options designed to fit your unique visual needs. At Executive Park Eye Care, we provide customized contact lens fittings in Colorado Springs, offering everything from soft multifocals to specialty scleral lenses.

Our personalized approach ensures your lenses are not only effective but also comfortable and easy to wear.

What Are Multifocal Contact Lenses?

Multifocal contact lenses help correct both near and distance vision, making them a popular option for patients with presbyopia, a common age-related condition that affects close-up focus.

At Executive Park Eye Care, we fit both soft and rigid gas permeable (RGP) multifocal lenses. These lenses come in two main designs:

Simultaneous Vision Lenses

  • Multiple zones for near, intermediate, and distance vision
  • Soft and RGP options available
  • Designed to train your brain to focus through the correct zone

Alternating (Translating) Lenses

  • Mimic the function of bifocal glasses
  • Typically available in RGP format
  • Provide sharper vision with clear, defined zones

Not sure which one is right for you? Our team uses advanced diagnostic tools, like corneal topography, to evaluate your eye shape and recommend the best-fitting multifocal lenses based on your lifestyle and visual goals.

What Are Scleral Contact Lenses?

Scleral lenses are large-diameter gas permeable lenses that vault over the cornea and rest on the white of the eye (the sclera). The space between the lens and the cornea holds a fluid reservoir, offering both visual correction and hydration.

Scleral lenses are ideal for patients with:

  • Irregular corneas (e.g., keratoconus, post-surgical conditions)
  • Chronic dry eye
  • Presbyopia with complex fitting needs
  • Corneal transplants or scarring

At Executive Park Eye Care, we specialize in fitting scleral lenses for patients who haven’t found success with standard lenses. Using precise corneal mapping, we ensure each scleral lens fits comfortably and delivers clear, stable vision.

Why Choose Executive Park Eye Care for Contact Lens Fitting?

Fitting contact lenses—especially multifocals and sclerals—requires more than a standard eye exam. Our contact lens services in Colorado Springs include:

  • Advanced diagnostic imaging, including corneal topography
  • Customized lens selection based on vision needs and lifestyle
  • Expert guidance and follow-up to ensure long-term comfort and success

Whether you're wearing contacts for the first time or looking for a better solution, we tailor each fitting to the individual patient. Our comprehensive approach ensures you receive the right lens, with the right fit, every time.
