Contact Lens Designs

Soft Contact Lenses

We offer soft contact lenses from the best brands in daily, biweekly and monthly options. Designs include spherical, toric to correct astigmatism and multifocal to correct distance and near vision.

Rigid Gas Permeable (RGP) Contact Lenses

RGP lenses provide excellent vision correction for conditions such as keratoconus and high astigmatism. They offer durability, comfort, and stability, making them suitable for a wide range of patients, including those with significant refractive errors and dry eye syndrome.

Scleral Contact Lenses

lSpecialized gas-permeable lenses designed to rest on the sclera, the white part of the eye. Larger in diameter than traditional lenses, they offer enhanced comfort by keeping the cornea hydrated, making them particularly suitable for individuals with dry eyes or irregular corneas, such as those with keratoconus.

Contact lenses provide a flexible, convenient, and effective option for vision correction for patients seeking freedom from traditional eyeglasses. At Style Optique in Barrington, IL, our multiple providers deliver customized contact lens solutions tailored to each patient’s vision needs, eye health, and lifestyle. With advancements in lens technology, contact lenses now offer exceptional comfort, clarity, and eye safety when properly selected and monitored. Whether you are exploring contact lenses for the first time or need a specialty option for complex eye conditions, professional guidance ensures optimal results. Our practice focuses on precision, comfort, and long-term eye health for every patient.

Symptoms That May Indicate a Need for Contact Lenses

Many individuals turn to contact lenses when vision changes interfere with daily life or comfort.

  • Blurred vision at distance or near
  • Difficulty wearing glasses during sports or physical activity
  • Eye strain or fatigue with glasses
  • Desire for a wider field of vision
  • Discomfort or pressure from eyeglass frames
  • Vision changes due to astigmatism or presbyopia

Why Contact Lenses Play a Critical Role in Vision Care

Contact lenses are an important option for vision correction because they sit directly on the eye and move with each blink, providing a more natural visual experience. They offer a wider field of vision compared to glasses and eliminate visual distortions caused by frames. For healthcare providers, contact lenses allow customized correction for complex refractive issues such as astigmatism, multifocal needs, and irregular corneas. Patients with conditions like keratoconus or post-surgical corneas often achieve better vision with specialty contact lenses than with glasses alone. Contact lenses also support active lifestyles by offering stability during sports and physical activities. When professionally prescribed and monitored, contact lenses contribute to both functional vision and long-term eye health. At Style Optique, our Barrington optometrists emphasize precision fitting and ongoing care to ensure safe and successful contact lens wear.

Our Comprehensive Contact Lens Care Process

Contact lens care at Style Optique is designed to deliver optimal vision and comfort through a structured and personalized approach.

  • Detailed Eye Health Assessment: Your optometrist evaluates your eye health, vision needs, tear film quality, and medical history to determine whether contact lenses are suitable.
  • Customized Lens Selection: Based on your diagnosis, we recommend soft lenses, toric lenses for astigmatism, multifocal lenses, rigid gas permeable lenses, or scleral contact lenses.
  • Specialty Lens Fitting: For patients with keratoconus, dry eye, or irregular corneas, advanced lens designs are selected to improve stability and hydration.
  • Trial and Evaluation: Patients receive trial lenses to assess comfort, clarity, and daily wear performance.
  • Ongoing Monitoring and Follow-Up: Follow-up visits ensure lenses remain safe, comfortable, and effective, with adjustments made as needed.

Preventing Eye Discomfort and Complications with Proper Contact Lens Care

Preventive care is essential for maintaining healthy eyes while wearing contact lenses. Regular eye exams allow optometrists to detect early signs of dryness, inflammation, or corneal changes. Proper hygiene education reduces the risk of infection and irritation. Modern contact lenses are made of breathable materials, but proper wear schedules and replacement intervals remain critical. Patients with dry eye benefit from specialty lenses that retain moisture and protect the ocular surface. Preventive care also ensures prescriptions remain accurate as vision naturally changes over time. With professional oversight, contact lenses remain a safe and reliable option for vision correction.

Patients who receive professional contact lens care often experience improved comfort, sharper vision, and greater lifestyle flexibility. Advances in lens materials enable extended wear and improved oxygen flow to the eyes. Specialty lenses open new possibilities for individuals previously unable to wear contacts comfortably. Ongoing care ensures lenses continue to match changing eye conditions. Many patients enjoy the confidence and convenience that contact lenses provide in both professional and recreational settings. With proper fitting and follow-up, contact lenses support long-term visual health and satisfaction.
