Contact Lenses

Today's contact lenses are designed to fit patients with a wide range of needs. Lenses are available to fit people with astigmatism, bifocals and dry eyes. We fit conventional lenses, rigid lenses and disposable lenses for the ultimate in convenience.

Lenses can be worn on a full-time basis or only for sports and special occasions. Ask one of our doctors about this affordable option in vision correction.

Paragon CRT Lenses

The doctors of Bedford Eye Care Centre invite you to participate in an exciting new technological advance: a safe, reversible option to refractive laser surgery, with the benefits of clear, uncorrected vision. Correct your vision while you sleep with Paragon CRT therapeutic lenses, and enjoy great vision 24 hours a day, without the hassles of glasses and daytime contacts.

Now you can be free of daytime contact lenses and glasses during your daily activities without undergoing surgery and enjoy great vision! Recent clinical research combined with the latest corneal surface mapping technology, computerized manufacturing and space age oxygen-breathing materials have brought new science to corneal reshaping.

Corneal Refractive Therapy is a non-surgical process clinically developed to reshape the cornea while you sleep. The result is the temporary correction of myopia with or without moderate astigmatism.

Similar in appearance to standard contact lenses, Paragon CRT therapeutic lenses gently reshape the corneal surface during sleep and provide clear, natural vision when the lenses are removed upon waking.

Because Paragon CRT offers freedom from glasses and the hassle of wearing contact lenses during the day, this leading-edge technology can enhance the lifestyle of those requiring vision correction. Active individuals can freely participate in sports without the interference of glasses or bother of contacts. Eye irritation or dryness, sometimes associated with contact lens wear due to outside dust and pollutants, is eliminated.

Fees

To determine if you are a candidate, consultations with our CRT Consultant are complimentary. Periodic Lectures/Consultation Nights will also be available. Please call our office at 902-835-2020 for more details.

The fee for Paragon CRT ranges from $1300 to $2000 depending on your prescription. The fee includes the following:

• CRT Therapeutic Lens Diagnostic Examination: This examination allows your optometrist/contact lens fitter to design the correct CRT therapeutic lenses which will maintain your eye health while giving you maximum comfort and clearest vision possible. It includes specialized measurements of corneal shape (corneal topography) and also an up-to-date determination of your prescription. Various CRT therapeutic lenses will be inserted in your eyes and evaluated for correct fit.
• Patient Instruction and Training: A personal instruction period will be scheduled for the day you receive your CRT therapeutic lenses. This appointment teaches you the correct methods of lens insertion, removal, cleaning and disinfection.
• Follow-up Eye Health and Contact Lens Evaluations: The fitting fee covers all CRT therapeutic lens evaluations during the first year of wear. Evaluations are normally scheduled for day 1, 1-2 weeks, 1 month, 3 months and 6 months of wear. All unscheduled visits if required, due to problems or refits are also covered.
• Contact Lenses: The fitting fee also includes your first pair of CRT therapeutic lenses as well as a spare pair of lenses. (The spare pair of lenses are ordered after 1 month of successful lens wear.)
• Starter Kit: Sample solutions required for lens care, lens storage case, DMV lens remover and patient care instructions are included in the starter kit.

Payment details: Payment of a $250 non-refundable deposit is required on the day the CRT lenses are delivered to the patient. If the fitting is successful, upon completion of the one-month fitting period, the remaining portion is due and payable. Or…ask us about financing options for about $100 per month.

* The fitting fee does not cover full eye examinations and is subject to change.

Guarantees: Due to the complexity of CRT therapeutic lens fits, it is not uncommon for your optometrist/contact lens fitter to vary the lens design or solutions to ensure the lens provides adequate vision and maintains the health of your eyes. Changes required in lenses or solutions will be provided at no extra charge during the initial one-month fitting period.

Replacement Lens Costs: CRT therapeutic lenses must be replaced on an annual basis, or as indicated by your doctor, to ensure that your eye tissues remain healthy and that the lenses continue to provide the correct therapeutic effect. Your fee for replacement lenses is: $350 per pair.

Total Lens Care Plan (TLC): The first year of enrollment in our Total Lens Care Plan is included at no additional charge. Replacement lens prices quoted above are based on the TLC Plan. This plan will be explained in detail when you receive your contact lenses.

Solutions: Take advantage of our bulk solution packs. Purchase a 6 month supply of Unique pH for only $ 32.00. (Your starter pack of solutions is no charge).

Sunglasses (non-prescription): Choose from our special selection of quality sunglasses for only $25.00!! Or… purchase from our regular selection of designer sunglasses and receive a $25.00 discount! (Sunglasses must be purchased within one month of CRT therapeutic lens delivery.).

Warranties: There is no warranty available from the manufacturer for these lenses. A spare pair of lenses is essential in case of loss or lens damage.

(To ensure we have the most up-to-date prescriptions, all patients must have had a full examination before being fit with contact lenses.)

Proclear Multifocal Lenses

Proclear Multifocal is a contact lens designed to address two common conditions experienced by those with aging eyes: presbyopia and eye dryness. Almost anyone who wears progressive or bifocal glasses can wear Proclear Multifocal lenses as they can correct near-sightedness, far-sightedness and astigmatism. These lenses give you great vision at every distance while staying moist and comfortable, all day long.

Just Because You Need Bifocals Doesn't Mean You Have to Wear Them

 

Proclear Multifocal is the only contact lens designed to address two common conditions experienced by those with aging eyes: presbyopia and eye dryness. Almost anyone who wears progressive or bifocal glasses can wear Proclear Multifocal lenses as they can correct near-sightedness, far-sightedness and astigmatism.

Only Proclear® Multifocal lenses combine a superior lens design, Balanced Progressive™ Technology, with a unique lens material made using our patented PC Technology™. The result? Lenses that give you great vision at every distance while staying moist and comfortable, all day long.

Proclear Multifocal lenses focus light from both near and far distances to the back of the eye, creating the clearest possible image. This unique system uses two different, yet complementary, lenses that work together to provide clear vision near, far, and in between.

Proclear Multifocal lenses are made using PC Technology, which creates a unique material containing molecules of phosphorylcholine (PC), a substance found naturally in human cell membranes. These miracle molecules attract and surround themselves with water, keeping Proclear lenses moist and comfortable.

It's a level of comfort so unique, only Proclear lenses are cleared by the FDA for the claim: "may provide improved comfort for contact lens wearers who experience mild discomfort or symptoms relating to dryness during lens wear."

If you are interested in being fit with Proclear Multifocal Lenses, please call our office at 835-2020 for an appointment.

Note: if you have not had an eye exam within the last 2 years, you will need to book for a complete eye exam first.

If you have recently had an eye examination, please bring your spectacle prescription with you when you come in for your fitting appointment.

Although CooperVision provides us with free trial lenses and a starter pack of solutions for the fitting, we do charge a fitting fee of $125.00 for a bifocal lens fit. However, the fit is entirely guaranteed.... if you are not satisfied with the contact lenses, you can apply the $125 as a credit towards services or products at our office. (for you or an immediate family member)

If you order a year’s supply of lenses after the fitting, CooperVision provides a rebate of $35.00 and we provide a 6 month supply of solutions for free! (a $37 savings)
