Contact Lenses

According to the American Academy of Ophthalmology more than 36 million Americans wear contact lenses. There are many different types of contacts including rigid gas permeable lenses, soft lenses and hybrid lenses.  Soft contacts are far and away the most common.  Among these are daily wear, extended wear, toric lenses which correct astigmatism, and bifocal lenses.  Contacts also change or enhance eye color. 

After a comprehensive eye examination and a discussion of your requirements, we can make appropriate recommendations as to the type of lenses to fulfill your needs.  Contact lenses are a medical device and should be treated with care.  They need special care, cleaning and regular follow up visits to ensure that the eyes remain healthy.  You should never use another person’s contact lenses or buy non-prescription contact lenses.
