The overall health of your eye is the single most important consideration. Other contributing factors include the shape and thickness of your cornea, the actual amount of your prescription, and the size of your pupil. Dr. Coleman uses a variety of sophisticated instruments to evaluate these factors.
Contact lenses play an important role.
To a varying degree, contacts change the shape of your cornea, the thickness of your cornea, as well as the nature of your tear film. There is a tremendous amount of interpretation involved in this decision as many factors must be considered. A picture of your cornea, or topographic map, is the single most important piece of information influencing this decision. Dr. Coleman has multiple corneal topographers to assist him in this aspect of the screening process. Only 5051 Journal Center Blvd.
