Our West Hartford Eye Care Services

LASIK

For people who need prescription eyeglasses or contact lenses to see clearly, LASIK is a dream come true! LASIK laser eye surgery can reduce or eliminate nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. Who qualifies for LASIK? Generally, patients over 18 years old, in good overall health and with healthy eyes all make good candidates!

During this advanced and popular procedure, your eye surgeon will use an excimer laser to reshape your cornea, thereby correcting any refractive error. LASIK is considered safe and effective, with a short recovery. To learn more and book a preoperative consultation for LASIK, contact our West Hartford, Connecticut optometry practice.

Eye Exams

Why are eye exams from a qualified eye doctor so important? Because they are the only way to confirm that your vision is as sharp as can be and your eyes are healthy! Many vision and ocular health problems, such as glaucoma and macular degeneration, don’t present noticeable symptoms until they have progressed to a late stage.

At that point, treatment is more complicated and you may be at risk for vision loss. At Kemp Eyecare, our West Hartford, Connecticut, eye doctor will perform a personalized eye exam using the latest optometric technologies – so you can count on precise results and state-of-the-art treatments. We welcome patients of all ages, call to book an eye exam today.

Eyewear Fitting

Choosing the right eyeglasses for your face, lifestyle, personal style, and vision needs can be complicated and confusing. At Kemp Eyecare, our optical staff will be happy to help you find the perfect pair of designer frames to satisfy all of your requirements! Tell us about yourself, and we’ll direct you towards the ideal eyeglasses. We provide helpful eyewear fittings to ensure that your glasses maximize your vision and are comfortable to wear; glasses need to sit snugly on your nose and without pinching behind your ears.

If you prefer the convenience of contact lenses, our optometrist performs thorough contact lenses fittings. We’ll check your eyes to make sure you don’t have any pre-existing conditions that require specialty contacts for hard-to-fit eyes. At the end of your eye exam, we’ll fit you with the best contacts for your vision and issue a detailed contact lenses prescription.

Our Eye Doctor

Optometrist in West Hartford, CT

Eye care professionals specialize in understanding how the human eye really works, as well as diseases and conditions that affect your vision – many of which do not have obvious symptoms. Eye doctors know how age and risk factors affect vision over time for young and old, and they understand the benefits and features of corrective lenses including eyeglasses and contacts.

Our optometrist takes the time to explain the results of your eye exam, describe your options and listen to your eye care needs. Because maintaining good eye health is an ongoing partnership, we encourage you to ask questions and share your health information, which could be vital to monitoring, diagnosing and treating potential vision problems.

The cost of routine eye exams and prescription eyewear can be of real concern, especially for large families. In many cases, vision insurance can lower these annual expenses.

A vision insurance policy is not the same as medical insurance. Regular medical health insurance plans protect you against financial losses due to unexpected eye injuries or disease. Vision insurance, on the other hand, is a wellness benefit designed to provide routine eye care, prescription eyewear and other vision-related services at a reduced cost.

Contact Lenses

Contact lenses in West Hartford, CT

We offer a wide selection of contact lenses including disposable soft contact, bifocal/multifocal, toric, and colored lenses. Whether you wear daily, weekly or monthly disposables, or conventional (vial) lenses, check out our selection of lenses that fit your needs.

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

Kemp Eyecare in West Hartford, CT

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.

We follow up 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.
