Multifocal Lenses
Multifocal lenses are a great option if you have presbyopia. The design of these lenses incorporates multiple prescriptions into a single lens, helping you see clearly at all distances. These contact lenses can help correct myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism.
There are several designs available for multifocal contact lenses, including:
- Concentric ring lenses: These lenses have different lens powers in alternating concentric rings, with the near or distance field in the centre of the lens
- Aspheric lenses: These lenses position the different lens powers similar to concentric rings but with a blended or progressive transition
- Translating lenses: These lenses place the different lens powers in separate parts of the lens, so the corrective fields do not shift when you look around
- Monovision lenses: These bifocal lenses are ideal if you struggle with other multifocal lenses—one lens is for distance vision while the other is for near vision
Rigid Gas Permeable Lenses
Rigid gas permeable lenses are more sturdy than traditional, soft contacts. These lenses offer crisp vision because they maintain their shape when you blink. Despite being bulkier, they remain lightweight and allow oxygen to pass through to reach your eyes. Rigid gas permeable lenses can correct astigmatism, myopia, or hyperopia.
MiSight Lenses
MiSight lenses are for correcting and controlling myopia progression in children. These daily soft contact lenses are easy to use and feature peripheral defocus technology. MiSight lenses slow eyeball elongation and may reduce myopia progression by up to 59%.
Scleral Lenses
Scleral lenses are unique contacts that vault over the entire corneal surface. These lenses rest on your sclera (the white of your eye) creating a smooth ocular surface. Scleral lenses are ideal for people with irregular corneas, hard-to-fit eyes, and dry eyes.
Scleral lenses have a larger surface area than traditional contact lenses, creating a fluid reservoir that consistently hydrates your eyes.
Orthokeratology (Ortho-K)
Orthokeratology lenses, or ortho-k, are specially designed lenses that temporarily reshape the cornea. These lenses are commonly used to treat myopia. Ortho-k lenses can slow myopic progression by up to 50% in 2 years.
You wear ortho-k lenses overnight and remove them in the morning. These lenses reshape the cornea as you sleep, allowing you to enjoy the day without the need for glasses or contacts.

OUR GOOGLE REVIEWS & TESTIMONIALS
I have had a positive experience with the Macumira treatment. I started with the four treatments in two weeks and have had a treatment every three months since that time. I have had improvement in my vision, especially in my weak eye, going from 20/200 to 20/70 and at the last treatment 20/60. I am always checking to see how I see in low-light situations, and that varies. The techs are very helpful and the doctors follow the progress of the patients. At the age of 74, I want to extend my quality of vision as much as possible.

“Maple Ridge eye care is awesome! The doctors there are very professional and personable. They walked me through everything they were testing on my eyes and so I felt very comfortable. They have a great selection of frames as well. The frames I got were fabulous and I’ve received so many compliments on them! All and all a great experience and I would highly recommend to anyone.”

“We had a great experience at Maple Ridge Eye Care! Dr. Matter was very knowledgable and personable. He took the time to answer all my questions and explain everything in terms I could understand. He was also great with my 3 year old son.”
Sharleen M.
“My wife and I have been going to Maple Ridge Eye Care for a number of years. We have since moved to Hope, BC and still continue to remain their patients. We have purchased many glasses from them over the years and have always received the best value for our dollar. Dr. Hurlburt and his staff have always provided the best and friendliest service, we would never trust anyone else with our eyes!”
Jeannette C.
“Although no longer a resident of Maple Ridge, I continue and will continue returning to Maple Ridge Eye Care for my eye care needs. The staff are the friendliest and most knowledgeable group I have had the pleasure of dealing with. The exams are very comprehensive and I feel confident that any and all eye sight issues (or related health issues) would be identified early and while they are treatable.”
