Special Lens Design and Additional Lens Options: No-Line Progressive - These lens correct for far (driving a vehicle), intermediate (viewing the dashboard), and near (reading a map) vision all in one lens. People like these because they look like single vision lenses and never reveal the need for bifocals. Because of this, they are the lenses of choice for bifocals and trifocals wearers. Polycarbonate - These are the strongest, most impact resistant lenses available and are always the lens of choice for young people and active patients. They are very lightweight, absorb all harmful UV light, and can be made ultra thin because of their unique strength. Hi index - If you need a stronger correction, these lenses are thinner and more attractive. They are often lighter in weight and absorb all harmful UV light. Ultra Violet Protection - The UV rays from the sun can be harmful to the eyes. This special treatment is available and completely blocks hazardous UV light. Anti-Reflection Coating - This coating is particularly effective for reducing eye fatigue for computer operators and anyone driving at night. It also is more attractive because it makes the lens virtually disappear by removing distracting reflections. Photochromic - These are sometimes called "comfort lenses". They darken and lighten as you go from indoor to outdoors. Ask your optician for a demonstration. Polarized Lenses - These are the top pick for eliminating glare. Hunters, boaters, and fishermen, golfers, and drivers are a few who benfit from polarized lens' glare-cutting properties. Polariztion eases eye stress and fatigue in the sun and can actually improve your vision by eliminating glare. Sports and Industrial - Whether at work or play, be sure and protect your eyes. Safety is the key. We can customize your lenses for any occupational, hobby or sport requirement. Contact Lens - Dr. Lord is skilled in the fitting of all types of contact lens, particularly the "hard to fit" eyes. We fit all type including bifocal, toric for patients who have astigmatism, and daily wear lens. Part of the contact lens exam involves corneal topography. Dr. Lord uses this to evaluate the shape of the cornea. This is especially beneficial with patients who have corneas that make fitting contact lens hard to fit. We also have the Wesley-Jessen WILD EYES for patients who really want to make a statement with their eyes. Click here for a sample corneal topography readout. Services:

Our comprehensive exam includes a determination of the health of the eye to check for diseases such as glaucoma and cataract as well as a visual determination to see if a patient requires glasses or contact lens to correct a vision problem. A screening visual field test is performed to assess the health of the optic nerve. For all patients over 15, a picture of the retina (the back of your eye) is taken using a digital retinal camera. This procedure assists the doctor in the early detection of many eye disorders. Tests may be performed on younger persons if other conditions indicate the need. We also find these pictures to be helpful to educate our patients about their various eye conditions. As the saying goes, a picture is worth a thousand words.
With this technology we can measure the total curvature of the cornea. Like viewing a map, you can tell if there are any corneal distortions. This is very beneficial in fitting contact lens and also can be reviewed during each yearly exam to note any changes.We are very proud of our experienced staff and the professional eyecare services we offer. 
All of our staff has been in the eye care profession for many years and enjoy working with our patients to assure them that they will maintain a lifetime of healthy eyes and optimal vision. We'd love to hear how we can better serve you or answer your vision related questions.
