Los Angeles contact lens optometrist, Dr. Fouad Melamed fits complex contact lenses as well as simple ones. Simple contact lens fits include single vision lenses and colored lenses. Simple contact lens fittings are just as important as the complex lens fits. Contact lenses need to fit well to prevent any complications. So even if you just want to change your eye color, or go for some really wild lenses just for fun, the fit needs to be correct. Here is a link to Dr. Melamed’s Facebook site to see just a few of the really wild styles you can choose from:

Most contact lenses are worn to improve vision. A thorough examination by a contact lens optometrist will ensure that the lens prescription will be correct. In addition to vision correction, Dr. Melamed will also examine the eyes to match the patient to the right contact lens product. There are many different types of contact products available. If you have tried contacts before and have had less than optimal results, talk with Dr. Melamed. You may have just tried the wrong lens.

Some of the more complex problems that Dr. Melamed works with include high astigmatism fits, multifocal contact lenses for patients over 40, and contacts for patients with irregular corneas after Lasik surgery. Another cornea problem that Dr. Melamed fits contacts for is keratoconus.

Astigmatism contacts in the past have had mixed results for patients. The technology has vastly improved and now wide arrays of contacts are available to correct astigmatism. Did you know the blurry vision that astigmatism causes is one of the most frequent cause of appointments to see the eye care professional? Astigmatism comes in varying degrees from very mild to severe. Dr. Melamed will examine your eyes and discuss with you the best contact lens for the clearest vision possible.
