Contact Lenses
Advances in contact lens design and materials have made them a clear, comfortable option for many people requiring vision correction. Our office has extensive training and experience in fitting most popular styles of contact lenses, including:
- Rigid, gas permeable lenses
- Soft lenses - daily, 2-week, monthly and extended wear
- Toric lenses (for astigmatism)
- Multifocal
- Fashion Color Lenses
Scleral Contact Lenses
We are excited to be fitting a new type of contact lens that helps to correct small to large amounts of astigmatism and treat corneal conditions that prevented past contact lens wear. If you've had trouble in the past with contact lenses giving you unstable vision or always rotating out of place then these may be a great option for you! Doctor Poirier will be happy to discuss your options and make sure that these lenses will be a great fit.
Scleral lenses are hard contact lenses that cover a much larger area of the eye than past contact lenses. Astigmatism in most cases is due to the irregular curvature on the cornea (front of the eye). Therefore, these lenses can cover the whole area and elminate the effects of the astigmatism. More information can be found at www.sclerallens.org.
Eyeglass Lenses
Our office offers an array of eyeglass lenses to meet individual vision requirements. Some of the available lenses are:
- High Index Lenses that are thinner and lighter than ordinary lenses.
- Progressive Addition Lenses that correct for near, middle and distance vision without the lines of bifocal or trifocal lenses.
- Transitions ® Lenses that are clear indoors, but darken automatically when you go outdoors.
- Polycarbonate Lenses are our first choice for children because of their impact resistance and lightweight.
- Frames - Fashionalbe styles with plastic and titanium frames.
- Polarized Lenses that reduce glare and provide protection from harmful UV rays.

Sunglasses aren't just about style – they're essential in protecting your eyes from harmful UV rays. And sunglasses aren't just for adults. Studies have shown that 85% of the UV damage done to a person's eyes occurs before they are 18 years old. We can make prescription lenses for just about any sunglass frame.

Testimonials
"My Son was very upset about having to wear glasses. He even left the office at one point to go to the bathroom to cry. Your staff was very compassionate towards my son during his time of unrest.
This was unlike anything I had ever experienced at any other doctors office. I sing your praises to everyone I know.
Thank you!"
-Daisy Lucas
"One day while riding in the car, my eyes felt like they were full of sand. They were so sensitive to light I couldn’t even keep them open.
Even though I didn’t have an appointment, Leslye – the receptionist at Knightdale Eye Care, who is such a caring person, said “Let me see if Dr. Poirier can see you,” and he saw me almost immediately.
He explained my eyes were badly irritated from chronic dry eye.
The prescription I was given cleared up the irritation and the drops for dry eyes have been great.
Everyone in the office is awesome, beginning with the front desk receptionist, with the beautiful smile, all the way through to the nice young lady at checkout.
Rob and Bev help you pick out the perfect frames and will adjust them for you, all the while with a caring smile."
-Carol Sims
