Find Frame-Free Ways to Support Your Vision

Contact lenses are a comfortable, reliable way to achieve clear vision without the need for traditional eyeglasses.

Using an array of innovative technology and observing the various structures of your eye, we can match you with a pair of contacts from the country’s leading brands and styles.

Whether you’re looking for clear vision for work, sports, or school, you’ll find the help you need by visiting Dr. McCurdy and his eye care team for a contact lens exam and fitting in Novato today.

Are Contact Lenses Right For You?

Contact lenses have made several advancements over the years—advancements that have made them more accessible than ever before. Various types of contacts can now help address myopia progression, keratoconus, and presbyopia.

However, even if you have these issues, we still need to perform a contact lens exam and fitting to determine if contacts are the right option for you. We may not recommend contact lenses if you experience frequent eye infections, or live with dry eye symptoms.

By examining your eyes and their needs, we can ensure your contacts provide you with crisp, clear, comfortable vision.

Getting Your Contact Lenses

The Eye Exam

Eye exams are routine in all facets of eye care.

Before prescribing your contact lenses, we’ll look at your eye health and visual acuity to determine if contact lenses are right for you and which ones will serve you best.

We examine the eye using various technologies, each as comfortable as they are comprehensive.

During your fitting, we’ll take several measurements of your eye, including your:

  • Corneal size and shape
  • Iris size and shape
  • Pupil size and shape
  • Tear film

The information we find during an eye exam can help us provide an appropriate pair of contacts for your needs.

After your appointment, we may provide you with a trial pair of contacts to wear for a short time. We’ll also book a follow-up appointment to ensure your eyes are adjusting appropriately to your new lenses.

Please remove your contact lenses if you begin to experience irritation, pain, or discomfort and give our office a call.

Types of Contact Lenses We Offer

Rigid Gas-Permeable Lenses

Rigid gas-permeable contacts are among the most commonly used in America. Their unique design makes them easier to manage than other types of contacts, and they can help ensure your eye surface gets the oxygen it needs if you struggle with conditions like dry eye.

Soft contact lenses are traditionally used to help correct refractive errors like nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism.

They are made of soft hydrogel materials that make them easier to adjust to than other types of contact lenses.

Scleral lenses are larger than traditional contacts, making them a great choice if you have corneal conditions like keratoconus.

These lenses rest on your eye’s sclera, otherwise known as the whites of your eyes. Having a larger size allows the lenses to “vault” over your cornea while still providing you with crisp, clear vision.

Multifocal lenses have multiple prescriptions to help correct refractive errors at various distances.

Presbyopia is a vision problem many people develop as they age, and it could occur even if you have another refractive error like nearsightedness or farsightedness. Multifocals can help correct these errors and support clear vision.

Some research has shown that multifocals can also help manage myopia progression in children.

It Starts With an Eye Exam

No matter your needs, the very first step in getting contacts is booking an eye exam with our team today. We’ll be happy to walk you through our many contact lens options and help you find comfortable, frame-free ways to enjoy your vision.
