Contact Lens Services
Our contact lens service offers the fitting or refitting and replacement of all types of contact lenses, including gas permeable, soft and soft disposable lenses. Lenses which change your eye color and bifocal/multifocal contact lenses are also available.
As well as designing contact lenses for patients with average eye conditions, Dr. John Franklin, Renè "Skip" Rivard, FCLASA(H), and Monica B. Shea, Contact Lens Specialist have extensive experience in the design and fitting of contact lenses for special and unusual medical conditions. These conditions include extreme myopia (nearsightedness), extreme hyperopia (farsightedness), high and irregular astigmatism, keratoconus and post-keratoplasty (corneal transplant) treatment. Our fees are comparable to on-line and mail-order contact lens services.
Since 1974, Renè "Skip" Rivard has limited his practice to the evaluation, design and fitting of all types of contact lenses, specializing in therapeutic and specialty lenses. A professor at Middlesex Community College in Middletown, CT, where he teaches courses in contact lenses and ophthalmic dispensing, he is an Honored Fellow of the Contact Lens Society of America, a research member of the Contact Lens Association of Ophthalmologists and is a Fellow of the National Academy of Opticianry. The former Director of Technical Services of the University Contact Lens Service located at the Yale Eye Center, he has held faculty positions at medical schools, colleges, and teaching hospitals in Connecticut and Massachusetts.
