Contact lenses

 Contact lenses are a popular and effective vision correction option designed to provide clear, natural vision without the need for traditional glasses. Prescribed and fitted by a licensed optometrist or eye doctor, contact lenses sit directly on the surface of the eye and correct common vision conditions such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism, and age-related vision changes. They offer a convenient and comfortable solution for patients with active lifestyles or those who prefer a glasses-free look.

A professional contact lens fitting begins with a comprehensive eye exam to evaluate your vision, eye health, and tear quality. The optometrist carefully measures the shape and size of your eyes to ensure the lenses fit properly and allow enough oxygen to reach the cornea. Proper fitting is essential for comfort, clear vision, and long-term eye health.

There are many types of contact lenses available, including daily disposables, bi-weekly and monthly lenses, toric lenses for astigmatism, multifocal lenses, and specialty lenses for unique vision needs. Your optometrist will recommend the best option based on your prescription, lifestyle, and visual goals. Contact lenses can also be an excellent alternative for patients who experience discomfort with glasses or want enhanced peripheral vision.
