Everyday lenses
Comfortable lenses for work, school, the beach and everything between. We'll talk through daily and other replacement options and how to care for them.
Contact lenses
Contact lenses fitted to your eyes and your days.
From a first pair of daily lenses to eyes that have been harder to fit, a contact lens consultation starts with how you live and what you need to see.
Lenses for astigmatism
Astigmatism doesn't have to rule out contact lenses. We'll look at how your eyes are shaped and what may give you stable, clear vision.
Multifocal lenses
For people who need help both far away and up close, multifocal contact lenses are one option worth discussing alongside glasses.
More complex fitting needs
If lenses have been uncomfortable, haven't given clear vision, or your eyes have special fitting needs, we'll take the time to understand why and explore what may help.
Specialty lenses
When standard soft lenses aren't the answer.
Some eyes need a different kind of lens to see clearly and comfortably — for example, after an injury or surgery, with an irregularly shaped cornea, or with a very high prescription.
- Rigid gas-permeable lenses — firm, breathable lenses that can give crisp vision for some prescriptions
- Scleral lenses — larger rigid lenses that vault over the cornea and rest on the white of the eye
- Overnight lenses — custom lenses worn during sleep, sometimes used as part of myopia management
Specialty lenses take more time to fit and usually involve several visits. We'll explain the process and costs before you begin.
The consultation
What a fitting involves.
- A conversation about your history with lenses, your routine and your goals
- Measurements of your eyes and a look at the eye surface
- Trial lenses when appropriate, and a check of how they fit and feel
- Hands-on guidance for wear, cleaning and storage
- Follow-up to confirm comfort and vision
The right lens depends on your eyes. We'll recommend options after your evaluation rather than promising a specific lens or result in advance.
Common questions
Do I need a contact lens fitting if I already have a glasses prescription?
Yes. A glasses prescription and a contact lens prescription are different, because a contact lens sits directly on the eye. A fitting checks that the lens fits well and keeps your eyes healthy.
Can I swim in my contact lenses?
Water and contact lenses don't mix. Read our article on ocean days and contact lens care for practical tips.
I tried contacts before and they didn't work. Should I try again?
Often, yes. Lens materials and designs have changed, and discomfort or blurry vision usually has a reason we can look into. Tell us what happened last time.
Will my insurance cover contact lenses?
Coverage varies by plan, and a contact lens fitting is often handled separately from the eye exam. Call us at (808) 870-2500 and we'll help you check what your plan includes before your visit.

Your needs
A fitting starts with listening.
Tell us about blur, discomfort or trouble with earlier lenses. An evaluation helps us decide which options are worth trying. Every design has tradeoffs, and no lens is right for every eye.
