Ready for Frame-Free Clarity & Comfort?
Contact lenses offer versatility. If you’ve ever been told that you’re not a candidate for contact lenses, you might be surprised. Even in the past 5 years, we’ve seen big changes that make it possible for many patients to experience a comfortable fit.
More styles of lenses are available, including multifocal contact lenses that can correct blurred vision at multiple distances. So, whether you want to ditch glasses completely or need a backup, it’s about having the option. At Pack Optical, we want to help you discover a new level of visual clarity and freedom.
Comprehensive Eye Exams vs. Contact Lens Exams
A complete eye exam is essential for evaluating eye health and glasses prescription. But fitting a contact lens requires a closer assessment of the eye’s surface. A contact lens exam measures structures at the front of the eye to create a customized fit, from pupil size to cornea curvature. The exam also considers additional eye health factors, like tear film quality and lifestyle.
How Does a Contact Lens Fitting Work?
A contact lens exam and fitting gathers information needed to create a customized fit. We evaluate eye health and take in-depth measurements, including mapping the cornea’s surface and assessing pupil size for lens positioning.
We’ll focus on factors unique to your lifestyle and comfort. For example, testing tear quality is essential, as a healthy layer of moisture supports your comfort throughout the day.
What Happens After a Contact Lens Exam?
The exam and fitting work together to find a customized solution, but your personalized care goes beyond your exam.
We’ll provide you with a trial pair of lenses tailored to your measurements so you can test out the results. Then, we re-assess the fit at a follow-up appointment. If the fit needs adjustments, we can make changes to improve performance or comfort. When the fit works appropriately, we order your lenses—and we’ll check in at your next routine eye exam.
Can You Wear Contact Lenses with Dry Eye?
Contact lenses can feel like sandpaper when your eyes are dry, especially with a lens that fits your needs poorly. The cornea (front of the eye) needs moisture to stay nourished and healthy. But the water content in some soft contact lenses can use up surface moisture, leading to discomfort.
We can help you find a contact lens for your unique eye health and comfort. Dr. Alisha can also work with you to find an effective solution for managing your dry eye symptoms.
Daily Disposable Lenses
Daily disposable contact lenses can benefit patients who like the flexibility of soft contact lenses. Frequently replacing your lenses helps to prevent buildup on the lens that can irritate the eye.
RGP Lenses
Rigid gas-permeable (RGP) lenses, known as hard contact lenses, retain their shape and provide clearer vision with eye movement. The lenses resist buildup that can irritate the cornea, and improved breathability allows moisture to last longer on the eye’s surface.

When the Dr asked me how my dry eye went, I told her ” what dry eye “.
Much improvement. I can see clearly in the mornings and afternoons where before there was lots of dryness.
It has made my daily life much better. I am not constantly squeezing and rubbing my eyes, and can more easily focus on my computer (for work) and other tasks/hobbies. My eyes overall “feel” 100% better. No more itchy, dry eyes! My vision is also crisper now, and I don’t feel like I am straining to see things clearly.
Drastic improvement in day-to-day comfort. I didn’t realize how much it could be improved and extermely glad to treat my dry eye symptoms. The Pack Optical team were intentional to provide comfort through the entire process and support specific needs. Grateful for the full team through each step of the process.
The experience was easy and office staff is wonderful. Dry eye symptoms are mostly improved. I still have days with dry eye symptoms but they’re not as bad as before.
Even though I still have allergy eyes, they aren’t as bad as they used to be. I am so glad I invested in my eyes and had the treatments. Highly recommend the treatment and Pack Optical.
I work on a computer all day, this really reduced my eye strain. My eyes just feel better, even with allergies.
The treatment has really made an improvement on my dry eyes. I’m finally feeling relief.
I don’t think one should take eye sight health for granted. Knowing a treatment can improve my eye quality to reduce dryness and abrasions was important to me. Process is easy and painless. Great staff….
The treatment experience was amazing – the people made the experience for me! I did not have any dry eye symptoms before the treatment, so I have not noticed a difference since having been treated. But everyone was so understanding and accommodating (except one individual who works here has been very rude in my experiences with her – If I had to have her as a technician, I would not come here anymore)!
My eyes are feeling great, I didn’t realize how dry they were until completing treatment. I was already familiar with IPL treatments, and found the experience relaxing.
