Contact Lenses
Over 30 million Americans wear contact lenses, according to the American Optometric Association. Unlike glasses, contact lenses move with your eyes so you can enjoy a larger field of vision with fewer distortions. You also don't have to deal with frames hovering in your peripheral vision or external lenses that fog up on cold days or get wet in the rain.
There are many different kinds of contacts, including rigid and flexible, extended wear, disposable and planned replacement lenses. Some can be made as bifocals or in different colors. After a thorough eye exam and consultation with an experienced physician, patients who qualify for contact lenses can discuss which type is right for them. All contact lenses require special care and cleaning. You'll need to make regular follow-up visits to ensure your eyes remain healthy.
Before you can wear contact lenses, you'll need two things: a refraction exam and a pair of glasses. All our patients need to have glasses before being fitted for contact lenses. We require this for a few reasons. There are times when you won't be able to wear contacts – at night, for example, or when the eye is irritated. You'll need a backup, and that backup is a pair of glasses.
Once you have your prescription and glasses, you can come in for a contact lens fitting.
