Westchester’s Contact Lens Center

Contact Lens Fitting in Hartsdale, Scarsdale, and White Plains NY

A good contact lens fit starts with a thorough eye exam to ensure the most up-to-date prescription and rules out any pre-existing conditions that could interfere with contact lens wear.

We will determine the best fitting lens based on your lifestyle needs, the shape and health of your eye. In most cases, you’ll have the opportunity to try lenses on the same day as your exam. You can even go home with a few samples before making a final decision.

Our optometrist, Dr. Arlene Schwartz, will follow up on the initial fitting and then make any necessary changes in fit or materials to get you the best possible fit. We teach all our patients proper contact lens care and also possible consequences if proper care is not taken. Then we continue with long-term follow-up to monitor the condition of the lenses and to ensure that proper hygiene is being maintained.

We are Contact Lenses Specialists

Problem-solving your medical needs.

Specialty contact lenses are used to treat corneal diseases like keratoconus, dry eye, high astigmatism, and other types of corneal disease. A specialty contact lens fitting will generally take much more time than a regular contact lens fitting. These "hard-to-fit" cases usually require a series of office visits and multiple pairs of trial lenses before the final contact lens prescription can be determined.

Have you been told you can't wear contact lenses? Do you have a corneal problem?

If you are interested in wearing contact lenses, call our office to schedule a consultation. Even if you've been told you're not a good candidate for contacts because of a condition, we may be able to help you wear contact lenses safely and successfully.

  • Eye Exams for Contact Lenses
    A routine exam won’t provide some of the measurements and testing that are required to determine if your eyes are suitable for contact lens wear, and to generate your contact lens Rx.
  • Hartsdale Keratoconus and Specialty Contact Lens Center
    Eye doctors throughout Westchester, New York refer their keratoconus patients to the Keratoconus Clinic at Hartsdale Family Eyecare for specialist care. That’s why Dr. Schwartz serves keratoconus patients and patients with special contact lens requirements.
  • Orthokeratology (CRT & VST)
    Orthokeratology is often referred to as Corneal Refractive Therapy (CRT) or Vision Shaping Therapy (VST) it is a reversible form of reducing mild nearsightedness or myopia. Special rigid therapeutic contact lenses are worn during sleep to gently reshape the front surface of the eye. The result is good, unaided daytime vision. patients wear the orthokeratology lenses nightly to maintain the daytime visual benefit.
  • Scleral Lenses
    Scleral lenses have offered many thousands of patients who have endured vision loss due to keratoconus, post-refractive surgical complications, severe dry eyes and a variety of other corneal conditions to once again see clearly and comfortably.
  • Daily Disposable Contacts
    With daily disposable contact lenses, you are able to experience crystal clear vision every day, without the worry or stress of proper storage and cleaning.
  • Bifocal and Multifocal Contact Lenses
    If you need correction for presbyopia but dislike the idea of bifocal eyeglasses, you have many contact lens options.
  • Toric Contact Lenses for Astigmatism
    “I can’t wear soft contacts; I have astigmatism.” This once-true statement is now simply a myth.
  • Gas Permeable (GP) Contact Lenses
    These rigid lenses aren’t as popular or well-known as soft lenses, but they offer the advantages of durability, crisp vision and high oxygen permeability.
  • Colored Contact Lenses
    Colored contact lenses allow you to change your eye color.
  • Contact Lens Care
    To make sure your eyes and vision stay healthy while wearing contact lenses, please follow these few guidelines recommended by your doctor.
