With decades of experience and advanced training in specialty lens fitting, our team is often able to help patients who have previously been told they are not good candidates for contact lenses.

Comprehensive Contact Lens Exams

A contact lens exam involves more than simply checking your vision prescription. Our doctors perform detailed measurements and evaluations to ensure the lenses fit properly and interact safely with the surface of the eye. The process for contact lens fitting in Beverly Hills typically includes:

    Comprehensive Eye Examination

    Your doctor evaluates your overall eye health and determines your current vision prescription.

    Corneal Measurements

    The shape and curvature of your cornea are measured to determine the most appropriate lens design.

    Lens Trial and Evaluation

    Trial lenses may be used to assess comfort, clarity, and movement in the eye.

    Follow-Up Care

    Follow-up visits help ensure the lenses continue to fit properly and support healthy eyes.

    Contact Lenses for Complex Vision Needs

    Some patients require contact lenses designed for more complex vision conditions or sensitive eyes. Specialty lenses can provide improved vision and comfort when traditional contact lenses are not effective. 

    At Richlin Eye, we offer advanced contact lens options designed to address challenging vision needs and ocular surface conditions.

    Scleral and Specialty Contact Lenses

    Scleral lenses are large-diameter contact lenses that vault over the cornea and rest on the sclera, the white part of the eye. This design creates a smooth optical surface and maintains a protective layer of moisture over the eye.

    These lenses are often recommended for patients with keratoconus, irregular corneas, or severe dry eye. To learn more about these advanced lenses, visit our page on Scleral and Specialty Contact Lenses.
