Contact Lenses

Wearing contact lenses gives patients the flexibility and freedom to live life to the fullest, without some of the difficulties presented by wearing glasses. Many people who choose contact lenses do so because they don’t like the way that glasses look or feel, or because wearing glasses compromises their ability to perform certain tasks or activities, such as sports or jobs that require the use of safety goggles.

Daily Disposable Contact Lenses Lenses

There are lots of different contact lenses to choose from, with the most popular being daily disposables. As their name suggests, these daily contact lenses are discarded at the end of each day rather than re-worn. Disposable lenses do tend to be a little more expensive but the benefits usually outweigh the cost.

Some of the advantages of choosing daily disposable contact lenses include:

• You don’t have to clean them, which saves time and hassle. It also helps save money in terms of the ongoing cost of cleaning solutions.

• Disposable lenses are also great for people with eye allergies. This is because, with ordinary lenses, there’s an opportunity for build-up on the lenses. With daily disposables, allergens have less chance to attach themselves to the lenses and cause irritation and other allergy symptoms.

• You don’t need to remember a replacement schedule, which makes wearing contact lenses easier.

• Disposable contact lenses are particularly good for people who have busy lives and are likely to cut corners when it comes to caring for their eyes or contacts since there is no maintenance required.

Daily disposable contact lenses are available in a wide range of prescriptions, including those for patients with nearsightedness and farsightedness. Your eye doctor will be able to advise you if you are a candidate for daily disposable contact lenses.

Toric Lenses

Toric contact lenses are recommended for patients who have a refractive eye problem called astigmatism. Patients with astigmatism have corneal abnormalities that cause the refraction of the eye to be different between the vertical and horizontal planes, causing blurred vision and difficulty seeing fine details. Toric contact lenses are shaped in a particular way that creates the different focusing powers needed in each part of the lens to correct your vision.
