Contact Lenses

Your Eye Doctor in Peoria & Kewanee – Eye Care You Can Depend On

At Illinois Vision Clinic, we offer comprehensive contact lens services for our new and current customers. Whether you’ve never had contact lenses before or you’re in need of a change in your contact lens prescription or type of lens, we can help.

Types of Contact Lenses We Offer

When it comes to contact lenses, everyone has different needs, and often those unique differences goes beyond the actual prescription itself. For that reason, contact lens makers offer a variety of contact lenses, and Illinois Vision Clinic offers them all.

Soft Contact Lenses

These are one of the most commonly-requested types of contact lenses. Soft lenses are available in daily, bi-weekly, and monthly disposable options, allowing you to choose a replacement schedule that fits your lifestyle.

Rigid Gas Permeable (RGP) Lenses

Less commonly used and colloquially called hard lenses, RGP lenses are more durable and may provide sharper vision than soft lenses. They’re a great choice for those with astigmatism or high prescriptions, as they retain their shape on the eye, offering precise correction.

Toric Contact Lenses

These are specifically designed for patients with astigmatism, Available in both soft and RGP options, these lenses ensure that those with astigmatism can still enjoy clear, comfortable vision.

Multifocal and Bifocal Contact Lenses

Ideal for patients with presbyopia, these lenses provide a range of focus, enabling clear vision at various distances. Multifocal lenses are also available in both soft and RGP materials, so you and your eye doctor can choose the one that works best for your particular needs.

Colored Contact Lenses

Sometimes it can be cool to have a different eye color, at least that’s what some patients feel! Depending upon the manufacturer, colored contact lenses may be available. Note that they are still prescription lenses, not novelty lenses; they just come in assorted colors that mimic natural eye color hues.

Extended Wear Contact Lenses

Do you have a super busy life? For those who prefer to wear their lenses continuously, even while sleeping, we offer extended wear lenses. These lenses are made from highly breathable materials, allowing you to wear them for up to a week or even a month, depending on your individual circumstances.

Daily Disposables

Convenient and hygienic, daily disposable lenses are perfect for patients who want fresh lenses every day. Imagine just being able to take out your lenses each night, toss them and put in a brand new pair in the morning. That’s daily disposables for you.

Scleral Lenses

Scleral lenses are a specialized option designed for patients with irregular corneas, dry eyes, or conditions like keratoconus. Unlike traditional contact lenses, scleral lenses rest on the white part of the eye (the sclera) rather than the cornea, creating a liquid reservoir that keeps eyes hydrated and comfortable.

Contact Lens Fitting and Consultation

At Illinois Vision Clinic, our contact lens fitting process begins with a thorough eye examination. Our optometrists will evaluate your vision needs, the shape and health of your cornea, and the tear film on your eyes. This information is essential in determining the most suitable type of contact lenses for you.

No matter what kind of contact lenses you need, Illinois Vision Clinic is here for you. We’ll make sure your contact lens prescription corrects your vision as much as possible, as well as ensuring optimal eye health.
