Since 1947, our clinic has remained a family-owned and minority-owned practice. Each one of our patients receives individualized attention, appropriate prescriptions, and guidance in choosing lenses that fit their lifestyle.

Understanding Your Contact Lens Prescription

A contact lens prescription is very different from an eyeglass prescription. Measurements about contouring the cornea, size of the pupil, as well as shape and health of the eyes, come into play. Odom's Eye Care Optical prepares each and every one of its prescriptions with priority given to comfort and clarity of vision.

Core elements of contact lens prescriptions include:

Power of lenses (to correct for near- or far-sightedness or astigmatism).
Base curve (the curvature of the contact lens to ideally match the cornea).
Diameter of lens (the overall size of the lens best suited for an appropriate fit).
Brand or type of lens (soft, rigid, or specialty lenses).
Replacement schedule (Daily, Bi-weekly, Monthly, or Extended wear).

Comprehensive Eye Exams Before Prescribing Contact Lenses

No contact lens prescriptions are provided at Odom's Eye Care Optical without prior intensive eye examinations. This examination assesses vision capacity and overall eye health to ensure that contact lenses are safe and effective for each person.

A sample examination would include:

Assessment of visual acuity for near and distance vision.
Cornea curvature measurement and eye surface shape.
Evaluation of tear film quality for lens comfort.
Astigmatism/refractive error identification.
Overall ocular health assessment for conditions that may affect contact lens choice.

This thorough examination ensures every patient receives a personalized prescription that fits their eyes, lifestyle, and vision needs.

Contact Lens Types Available

When it comes to contact lenses, Odom's Eye Care Optical offers a wide variety of lenses to meet diverse prescriptions, vision needs, and lifestyles. We assist patients in selecting lens types that provide the best vision, comfort, and quality of life.

Contact lens types available:

Soft Lenses: Flexible lenses designed for day-to-day usage with outstanding comfort and easy adaptation.
Toric Lenses: Particularly for patients who have astigmatism to maintain stable vision correction.
Multifocal Lenses: Provide correction for near and distance vision in patients with age-related vision changes.
Rigid Gas Permeable (RGP) Lenses: Rigid lenses providing superior vision in high prescriptions and irregularly shaped corneas.
Specialty Lenses: For patients with unusual corneal shapes or ocular conditions requiring custom solutions.

Highly Individualized Lens Fittings

For optimal comfort and vision performance, contact lens fitting must be exact. At Odom's Eye Care Optical, the optometrists take precise measurements and then test trial lenses to ensure the lenses are applied successfully to the patient.

The contact lens fitting procedure includes:

Keratometry methods to measure corneal curvature.
Selection of the appropriate lens material based on prescription power and patient lifestyle.
Trial lenses are tested for visual clarity and comfort.
Changing lens parameters as needed to avoid sliding or discomfort.

The fitting process ensures minimal discomfort and optimal vision throughout the day.

Care and Maintenance of Lenses: Instruction Clinic

The right care for contact lenses is therefore critical to safeguard eye health and prolong lens life. Odom's Eye Care Optical provides each patient with appropriate in-depth instructions and demonstrations for cleaning, handling, and proper maintenance of contact lenses.

The highlights among them are:

Cleaning and disinfecting of reusable lenses with suggested solutions
Correct storage practice for maintaining sterility and noncontamination
Insertion and removal techniques
Avoid the use of overnight wear unless specified
Recognizing discomfort or other signs of eye irritation

Following these procedures will enable the patient to enjoy clear vision with eyelid protection.

Specialty Contact Lens Services

Some patients, due to their unique visual requirements or eye conditions, require a more personalized contact lens solution. This specialty is where Odom's Eye Care Optical services come in, solving problems by providing each individual with suitable correction.

Specialty services include:

Keratoconus lenses or lenses for irregular corneas
High refractive error lenses
Presbyopic custom multifocal lenses
Advanced prescription rigid lenses

This requires advanced knowledge and careful assessment, which our experienced optometrists provide.

Follow-Up and Adjustment Appointments

After new contact lens prescriptions are written, follow-up visits are necessary to assess comfort, proper fit, and visual performance. Odom's Eye Care Optical authorizes these follow-ups to evaluate adaptation and make adjustments.

Follow-ups include:

The fit and movement of the lens on the eye are assessed.
Visual clarity and focus are checked.
Any irritation or discomfort is discussed.
Lens parameters modified as necessary.
More instructions for care during wear are given.
