Contacts Lenses
Many people prefer their appearance without glasses. Contact lenses can achieve this without irreversible refractive surgery. Contacts allow for a wide field of unobstructed vision and increased comfort during sports and other recreations, may be used to enhance your appearance cosmetically, and are even frequently used for the treatment of certain eye conditions. Today, there are more convenient and healthy contact lens options than ever to satisfy a wider range of patients. In the United States, contact lenses are a prescription item, just like pharmaceuticals. By law, and for your safety, contact lenses must be properly fitted by an optometrist. Discuss with your doctor which lens options are right for you.

If you are looking for a convenient, invisible solution to poor eyesight, contact lenses may be best for you. After inserting your contacts in the morning, you can forget you ever had vision problems. Great for physically active patients, contact lenses won’t slip off your face or get in the way.
Caring for Your Lenses
Keeping your lenses clean and moist will make them last longer and prevent them from irritating your eyes. Be sure to thoroughly wash your hands before handling your contacts to avoid transferring bacteria or harmful debris. Always use saline solution and contact lens solution to clean and store your lenses. Clean your contacts before each wear by placing your lens bowl up in your palm and filling it with a few drops of solution. Be sure to remove your contacts after the suggested length of wear has expired to allow your eyes to receive oxygen and keep your corneas from becoming disfigured.
During your consultation, our staff will discuss the proper care, as well as the application and removal instructions for your contacts.
