Soft Disposable Contact Lenses

Soft lenses are the most common starting point because they are comfortable and easy to adapt to. At Sparks Eye Care, we fit patients into soft lenses that match their prescription and how often they plan to wear them. Replacement schedules include daily, biweekly, and monthly options.

Depending on your prescription and vision needs, we fit patients into:

  • Spherical lenses for straightforward nearsightedness or farsightedness.
  • Toric lenses designed to stay oriented correctly and correct astigmatism.
  • Multifocal lenses that address both distance and near in one lens, a practical option for patients over 40.

Color Contact Lenses

Color contact lenses can change or enhance your eye color cosmetically. They come in daily and monthly replacement options. Color contacts can also serve a medical purpose for patients with iris abnormalities, helping reduce glare by mimicking a natural iris pattern.

All color lenses, cosmetic or corrective, require a valid fitting and contact lens prescription. Ask us about current options at your next visit.

MiSight® for Childhood Myopia

MiSight® 1 day lenses are daily disposable soft lenses designed specifically for children whose myopia is getting worse each year. Clinical studies show they can slow the progression of myopia in kids. Dr. Sparks fits children in MiSight® as part of a broader myopia management approach.

If your child needs stronger glasses at every yearly exam, ask us whether MiSight® is a good fit for them. A contact lens exam and fitting is part of the process.

Rigid Gas-Permeable (RGP) Lenses

RGP lenses are custom-made to the shape of your cornea. That precision allows for sharper vision correction than most soft lenses can deliver, especially for patients with high astigmatism or an irregularly shaped cornea.

Patients who have been told they cannot wear soft lenses often find RGPs to be a reliable alternative. They can reduce halos, glare, and the blurry vision that comes from an unstable soft lens. The fitting process takes more time since each lens is built to your eye, but many patients say the clarity is worth it. Ask us about this option at your next appointment.

Your Contact Lens Fitting: What to Expect

A contact lens fitting is a separate appointment from a standard glasses exam. Your glasses prescription does not automatically carry over to contacts. Lens power, diameter, and base curve are all measured for contact lens wear specifically.

At Sparks Eye Care, Dr. Sparks measures corneal curvature, checks your tear film, and talks through your wearing schedule and habits. Most patients try a trial pair before the final prescription is written. Follow-up visits are included when needed to confirm the lenses are sitting right and the eyes are staying healthy.
