Why Consider Contact Lenses?

Since contact lenses are placed onto the eye they move with the eye allowing for clear vision any direction you look.
Unlike glasses, contact lenses do not get in the way of your activities.
With contact lenses you get a larger field of view and no frames are present to interfere with your vision.

How to care for contact lenses.

Wash and dry hands prior to handling contact lenses.
Do not wear contact lenses longer than instructed by your optometrist, It can interfere with the heath of your eye and cause infections.
Replace your contact lens case every 3 months or sooner.
Remove lenses daily or as instructed by your optometrist.
After removing contact lenses from the case empty the solution and store the case in a clean dry area with the lids off. This decreases the chance of contamination from bacteria.
Replace contact lenses as directed by your optometrist, daily, biweekly or monthly.
The fit of contact lenses must be evaluated each year even if you do not notice a change in your vision in order to maintain healthy eyes.

Immediately remove contact lenses and call your eye care professional if this occurs:

Sudden onset of blurred vision
Red, irritated eyes
Pain in or around the eye

Specialty Contact Lenses

Orthokeratology

The process of using a contact lens over night to shape the front of the eye allowing for clear vision throughout the day without contact lenses or glasses. This process is great for preteens and teens that want to get out of glasses. It also works for patients that cannot tolerate wearing contact lenses daily but do not want to wear glasses. Call today to schedule an eye exam and discuss orthokeratology with one of our optometrist.
