Contact Lens Evaluation and Difficult Fit

Dr. Andronico talks with many patients who eyes are irritated by wearing contact lenses or are wearing contact lenses with poor results.  Understanding why your lenses are not comfortable for you extends beyond the exam, and that is where Dr. Andronico can assist you.

In our comfortable office, we perform a thorough assessment in which far more than the eye is examined. Vision correction needs to fit your physical and functional needs. The cause of distortion also needs to be accurately identified. Dr. Andronico is a corneal specialist and refractive surgeon with more than thirty years of experience treating eye problems with an integrative approach.

On many occasions poor contact lens fit is associated with dry eyes. Some Dry Eye problems could stem from an issue somewhere else in the body. As an experienced Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine who also focuses on eye conditions, Dr. Andronico has a wealth of knowledge through which optimal results from care can be achieved. Patients who visit our practice can benefit from the continuity of care that ensures comfort and clearer vision.

Dr. Andronico is renowned for his accuracy in diagnosing and treating eye conditions. Dry eye syndrome, in particular, may affect the feel of contact lenses. Often, a patient who cannot tolerate contact lenses is suffering from an issue such as inflammation in the lining of the eye. Blepharitis becomes more common as we age, though Dr. Andronico has also treated patients in their twenties who have developed dry eye.

Blepharitis occurs in the inner part of the eyelid. To resolve uncomfortable symptoms that may make it difficult to wear contact lenses, Dr. Andronico may suggest a treatment called BlephEx. After this treatment, sensations such as grittiness gradually decrease and wearing contact lenses may be more comfortable.

Due to his extent of specialty, Dr. Andronico is sought by patients in his immediate area as well as those who come from other cities and states. He has the education, training, and experience to offer a wide variety of therapeutic modalities to assess, diagnose, and treat conditions of the eyes and the body. Call for your consultation.
