Contact Lenses

Contact lenses are a great alternative to wearing glasses. They can help to provide an array of benefits to your life, as well as allow you to see clearly in many situations. There are many varieties of contacts, which can make it difficult to know what is right for you. Our experts can help you to determine the best contact lenses for your specific needs. Contact lenses are largely a matter of preference and are ideal for people that feel self-conscious or uncomfortable while wearing glasses.

Contact Specific Exams

It is important to obtain an eye exam that is designed specifically for contacts. An eye exam for eyeglasses won’t take into account the shape of your eye, which is necessary for ensuring that contacts are a healthy fit for your eyes. This is vital, because contacts that don’t fit your eye perfectly can actually cause damage to your eyes. Our experts can determine the perfect dimensions and types of contacts for your vision needs.

Types of Contact Lenses

There are many different kinds of contact lenses that are designed to meet different vision needs. The different types of contacts may also fit aesthetic purposes, or will simply have a different degree of comfort. Soft contacts are often more comfortable, but hard contacts may provide better vision correction. It is a common misconception that you can’t use contacts if you have astigmatism. This is untrue. Implementing the correct kind of contact lenses will allow you to use contacts effectively, even with astigmatism. It is important to care for your contacts according to the specific instructions, especially because different contacts will require different levels of care.

Contact lenses can help to provide vision correction, without the use of eyeglasses. Contacts can be used for everyday use or for special occasions. It is important to ensure that you follow instructions carefully when wearing contact lenses, because improper use can cause damage to your eyes.
