What Solution is Best For Me?

Your doctor will recommend a particular contact lens care procedure and solution specifically designed for your eye. It is recommended to not switch solutions without consulting your doctor. Certain products could cause problems if used incorrectly.

Can I Wear Contacts if I Have Dry Eye?

In many situations the answer is yes. There are lens materials designed specifically for dry eyes. There are also many therapeutic options to consider which may alleviate the condition completely. Finally, there are in-office procedures that are quick and painless that can help improve the natural tear film on your eye almost immediately.

What Type of Vision Problems Can Contact Lenses Correct?

Contact lenses can correct almost any vision condition. These conditions include nearsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism, and presbyopia (bifocals). Contact lenses can often be used in situations where the cornea has been damaged by injury or disease to provide vision superior to that of glasses.

When Can My Child Consider Contacts?

The biggest factor is the responsibility of the child. Contact lenses are medical devices and if used incorrectly can cause problems. We encourage parents to have discussed this issue with their child prior to considering contact lenses. Our doctors may begin discussing contacts routinely around age 12. Certain recreational activities or vision conditions may warrant earlier consideration.

Can I Switch Between Contacts and Glasses?

Yes, by all means. Patients can chose to wear contacts only for special events or recreational activities. Many patients choose to only wear contacts while they golf, ski, or play basketball. Lenses have become very convenient and affordable, making them more attractive than ever before.

Can Contact Lenses Damage My Eye?

Contact lenses are medical devices and if used incorrectly can cause redness, pain, and in severe cases, even vision loss. It is very important to feel confident in your eyecare provider’s ability to prescribe you the best possible contact for healthy vision.
