If you’ve been searching for an optometrist near you who is experienced in complex prescriptions, advanced diagnostics, and rigid gas permeable (RGP) lenses, you’re in the right place.
Dr. Jeffrey Zigulis brings over 30 years of dedicated practice to every patient interaction, providing personalized solutions for those who need more than just a standard vision exam.
About Dr. Zigulis
Dr. Jeffrey Zigulis is a seasoned and compassionate eye doctor who has been helping patients achieve clearer vision and better eye health since 1993. He specializes in gas permeable contact lenses—particularly for adults over 40 who face challenges like astigmatism, presbyopia, dry eyes, or have been labeled “hard to fit.”
Inspired by his father’s lifelong nearsightedness and a childhood incident involving a classmate’s eye injury, Dr. Zigulis chose to pursue a career in optometry with one goal: to make a meaningful difference in people’s lives by protecting and enhancing their vision.
Specialty Focus: Gas Permeable Contact Lens Fittings
Dr. Zigulis has over 30 years of experience in gas permeable lenses and multifocal RGP lenses for adults over 40. These lenses are ideal for:
- Patients with irregular corneas or keratoconus
- Adults needing reading vision support without bifocals
- Individuals experiencing dry eye symptoms
- People who need sharper, more stable vision than soft lenses provide
- Patients told they are “hard to fit” with conventional lenses
Unlike soft contacts, RGP lenses often provide clearer, more consistent vision and can last longer with proper care—making them a smart, cost-effective solution for long-term vision correction.
Technology-Driven Eye Care That Goes Beyond the Basics
Dr. Zigulis uses advanced tools such as corneal topography for precision lens fitting and the RETeval® ERG system, which helps detect early signs of diabetic retinopathy and hypertensive eye disease. These technologies allow him to monitor eye health with greater accuracy and tailor care to each patient’s unique visual needs.
Whether you're struggling with blurry vision, light sensitivity, or complex lens fitting issues, Dr. Zigulis offers real solutions based on decades of hands-on experience.
Why Patients Trust Dr. Zigulis
Patients come to Dr. Zigulis not just for his technical expertise—but for his personalized approach to eye care. He believes in treating the whole person, not just their prescription. His commitment to listening, educating, and guiding his patients sets him apart as a truly dedicated provider.
If you're seeking the best contact lenses for dry eyes and blurry vision, or want expert insight into your long-term eye health, Dr. Zigulis offers care that’s both thorough and trustworthy.
