Discover the Clarity and Comfort of Contact Lenses in Ennis, Texas
Whether you're new to wearing contact lenses or looking for a better fit, our Ennis eye care team is here to help. Contact lenses offer a convenient, comfortable way to correct vision without relying on glasses.
Personalized Vision Correction Made Easy
With options for nearly every prescription and lifestyle, contacts are a popular choice for patients of all ages. From standard lenses to custom solutions for more complex needs, we specialize in fitting contacts that provide clear vision, all-day comfort, and support for long-term eye health.
We also make it easy to buy contacts directly through our office or recommended providers, ensuring you receive the correct lenses and reliable quality. If you're considering switching to contacts or need help managing your current lenses, you've come to the right place.
A proper contact lens fitting is crucial for comfort, clear vision, and avoiding complications like eye infections. Unlike glasses, contact lenses rest directly on the surface of your eye—so getting the fit right matters. Our Ennis eye doctors begin with a comprehensive vision exam to assess your prescription and evaluate your eye health. We take precise measurements of your cornea and tear film to determine the most suitable lens material and shape.
We’ll guide you through the types of lenses available—daily disposables, extended wear, toric lenses for astigmatism, or multifocal lenses for presbyopia. Whether you’re looking for a full-time alternative to glasses or want contact lenses for sports or special occasions, we’ll tailor your fit for optimal vision correction and comfort.
Once you’ve tried a sample pair, we’ll schedule a follow-up to ensure your lenses fit well, provide sharp vision, and don’t cause irritation. Your long-term eye health and satisfaction are our top priorities.
Contact Lenses for the “Hard-to-Fit” Patient
Not everyone’s eyes respond well to standard soft lenses. If you’ve been told you’re hard to fit or have had trouble wearing contacts in the past, we can help. Conditions such as keratoconus, dry eyes, astigmatism, or post-surgical corneas often require specialty contact lenses. Our team in Ennis is experienced in fitting gas-permeable lenses, scleral lenses, hybrid designs, and other advanced lens types.
These specialty lenses are designed to provide stable, clear vision while addressing the underlying condition that makes standard lenses uncomfortable or ineffective. We take the time to evaluate your unique needs and find a solution that works for your lifestyle. With the right support and follow-up, even patients with complex prescriptions or corneal irregularities can wear contact lenses comfortably and safely.
What Are Some Common Benefits of Contact Lenses?
Choosing to wear contact lenses comes with several advantages, especially for those seeking a more natural and flexible approach to vision correction:
- Wider Field of Vision: Contacts move with your eye, eliminating peripheral distortion often caused by glasses frames.
- No Fogging or Smudging: Unlike glasses, contacts don’t fog up in humidity or get smudged from fingerprints.
- Active Lifestyle Support: Contacts are ideal for sports and outdoor activities, staying secure without slipping or bouncing.
- Cosmetic Preference: Many patients prefer the natural appearance of contact lenses over wearing glasses.
- Advanced Vision Correction: Today’s contact lenses can correct astigmatism, presbyopia, and other complex conditions with remarkable accuracy.
With proper care, wearing contact lenses can be a safe, convenient, and liberating choice for vision correction. Our goal is to help you find lenses that support both your vision and your lifestyle.
Finding the Right Contacts for You
Choosing the best contact lenses starts with understanding your vision needs, eye health, and lifestyle. Our goal is to match you with lenses that offer clear, comfortable vision and are easy to manage day-to-day. With advancements in contact lens technology, there are now more options than ever—whether you’re nearsighted, farsighted, have astigmatism, or need multifocal correction. Below are some of the most common types of contact lenses we fit and recommend, each with unique benefits and features.
Daily Disposable Contact Lenses
Daily disposable lenses are worn once and discarded at the end of the day, offering unmatched convenience and hygiene. They’re a great choice for patients with sensitive eyes or busy lifestyles because they eliminate the need for cleaning and storage. These lenses are particularly helpful for reducing the risk of eye infections, as a fresh, sterile lens is used every day. Many first-time wearers also find dailies easier to adjust to. While they may have a slightly higher recurring cost, many patients appreciate the simplicity and comfort that daily disposables provide.
Monthly and Bi-Weekly Contact Lenses
These reusable lenses are designed to be worn daily and cleaned each night, with replacement scheduled every two weeks or once a month, depending on the brand. They’re often more cost-effective than daily lenses and are available in a wide range of prescriptions. Patients who are comfortable with proper cleaning routines often prefer monthlies or bi-weeklies for their flexibility and affordability. However, consistent lens hygiene is critical to avoid complications such as protein buildup or eye irritation. If you’re comfortable with routine care and want more lens options, this type may be a great fit.
Toric Contact Lenses for Astigmatism
Toric lenses are specially designed to correct astigmatism by compensating for the irregular curvature of the cornea. Unlike standard spherical lenses, toric lenses have different powers in different meridians of the lens, and they are weighted to stay in the correct orientation on your eye. This ensures stable, consistent vision throughout the day. Available in daily, bi-weekly, and monthly formats, toric lenses require a precise fit, which our team ensures through careful measurement and follow-up. For patients with mild to moderate astigmatism, toric lenses offer a reliable and comfortable vision correction solution.
Multifocal Contact Lenses
Multifocal contacts are ideal for patients with presbyopia—a condition that typically affects people over 40 and makes it difficult to see up close. These lenses contain multiple prescription zones to allow clear vision at varying distances, reducing the need for reading glasses. They come in both soft and gas-permeable materials and in daily or monthly versions. While there may be a short adjustment period, most wearers adapt well and enjoy the convenience of seamless vision for both near and far tasks. Multifocal lenses are a great way to maintain an active lifestyle without switching between multiple pairs of glasses.
Rigid Gas Permeable (RGP) and Scleral Lenses
For patients with more complex vision needs or corneal irregularities like keratoconus, rigid gas permeable (RGP) and scleral lenses offer customized, high-clarity vision correction. RGP lenses are small, firm, and durable, providing sharp optics for conditions that soft lenses may not correct well. Scleral lenses, which cover the entire cornea and rest on the sclera (white of the eye), offer added stability and moisture retention, making them ideal for severe dry eye and post-surgical eyes. Though these lenses require more specialized fitting and adjustment time, they can deliver transformative vision improvements for hard-to-fit patients.
