Contact
Lenses |
Each of our optometrists fit patients with contact lenses every day.
Our goal is to provide our patients with a full range of the most up to
date contact lenses available. We offer a wide variety in types of
lenses to best suit our patients specific needs.
|
We realize that contact lenses can be easily purchased anywhere, but
we take special pride in providing a thorough examination, including a
contact lens fitting to determine which of the many lens types will suit
both the patient's visual and lifestyle needs. Once the
prescription and lens have been determined, first-time wearers will be
instructed on insertion and care of their lenses. A follow-up
visit will be arranged in order to insure the lens is fitting properly
and that the visual goal has been met.

What type of vision problems can contact
lenses correct?
Contact lenses can correct almost any vision condition.
These conditions include nearsightedness, farsightedness,
astigmatism, and presbyopia (bifocals). Contact lenses can
often be used in situations where the cornea has been damaged by
injury or disease to provide vision better than that with
glasses. |

Can I wear contact if I have dry eyes?
In many situations the answer is yes. There are lens
materials designed specifically for dry eyes. The doctor
and contact specialist will be able to help you with this
problem. |

Can I switch between contacts and glasses?
Yes, by all means. Patients can chose to wear contacts
only for special events or recreational activities. Lenses
have become very convenient and affordable, making them more
attractive than ever before. |

issue with their child prior to considering contact lenses. |

provider's ability to prescribe you the best possible contact

What solution is best for me?
Your doctor will recommend a particular contact lens care
procedure and solution specifically designed for your eyes.
It is best not to switch solutions without consulting your
contact specialist. Certain products could cause problems
if used incorrectly. |
