Contact Lenses

Types

There are two main types of contact lenses, Rigid Gas Permeable, and Soft.  Soft lenses can be further differentiated by the frequency of disposal.  Conventional soft contact lenses are disposed on a yearly basis, while planned replacement lenses are designed to be replaced on a daily, bi-weekly, monthly, or quarterly basis.

Contact lenses can be used to correct for virtually all vision conditions that are correctable with spectacles.  Astigmatism lenses and multifocal (bifocal) lenses are also available!  Color contact lenses are available with or without prescription.

Care of Contact Lenses

Contact lenses require a small amount of maintenance to ensure that the eyes remain healthy.  It is best to remove the contacts prior to sleeping.  In addition, a cleaning solution should be used every day.  Once the techniques are learned, the process is simple and can be completed in only a few minutes per day.

A video that reviews contact lens care can be seen atCoopervision's (a contact lens manufacturer) website.

To maintain ocular health, a yearly examination is required.  At this visit, your doctor will ensure that your current contacts are still fitting properly.

What is available?

Contact lenses have changed quite a bit over the past several years.  The newest lenses are designed for ultimate comfort, and are perfect for part time wear and even those with dry eye.
