Contact Lenses

While some people enjoy making a fashion statement with eyeglasses, others prefer their appearance without them. Contact lenses can achieve this without irreversible refractive surgery.  Today’s contact lenses are more healthful, fun, and convenient than ever.  Contact lenses can also provide a full field of unobstructed vision, which is great for your active Wyoming lifestyle.

If you were told in the past that you couldn’t wear contact lenses, odds are that’s not true today.  There are more convenient and healthy contact lens options than even a few years ago.

At Frontier Eye Care, we fit contact lenses of all types – soft contact lenses, astigmatism-correcting contacts, bifocal contacts, rigid gas permeable lenses, continuous-wear (overnight) contacts, daily disposables, and more.  A no-risk consultation is included in your eye exam.  Just ask Dr. Alden.

To schedule a contact lens fitting, call our Casper office at (307) 472-2020.

Astigmatism is a term that describes the shape of the cornea being curved more in one direction than the other, more like a football than a basketball.  It is common, benign condition, and is often hereditary.  If uncorrected, the patient will experience blurry images.

If you have a high degree of astigmatism, traditional spherical soft lenses may not be adequate.  Instead, “Toric” contact lenses are available to correct astigmatism.  These custom-made soft lenses are specially designed to position themselves to correct your astigmatism and give you exceptional vision.

There are many different types of toric contacts based on the curvature profile of your eye and your unique prescription.  And astigmatism-correcting contact lenses are now available in the newer, more breathable materials that can keep your eyes healthier and feeling more comfortable.

Schedule your contact lens fitting today to see if astigmatism-correcting contacts are right for you.  Call Frontier Eye Care at (307) 472-2020.

If you have an urgent eye problem, please stop by our office during our regular hours and we will make every effort to work you in.

For less urgent concerns, call our Casper office at (307) 472-2020 to schedule an appointment.

If you have major medical insurance,

we may be able to file a claim for a visit related to medical eye care.  We accept Medicare, Medicaid, Blue Cross Blue Shield of Wyoming, and many others. (Please note that you are still responsible for copays and deductibles not covered by your insurance.)
