ENDLESS POSSIBILITIES.

Contact lenses can be beneficial to anyone who currently wears glasses and are suggested by our optometrists. Here are a few reasons why you should consider wearing contact lenses:

Cosmetic - One of the most appealing aspects of having contact lenses is that you will no longer need to wear glasses.

Sports - Contact lenses can be an excellent way to improve vision while participating in any sport.

Unfettered eyesight - contrary to popular belief, contact lenses allow complete unrestricted vision. When you wear contact lenses, you can see as freely as you would if you weren't wearing glasses.

One of the benefits of contact lenses is their comfort.

Contact lenses move with your eye, provide a natural field of view, don't block your vision with frames, and considerably eliminate distortions. They don't fog up or get splattered by mud or rain like glasses do.

AFTERCARE
SUPPORT

We consider contact lens aftercare to be of the utmost importance.

 

We recommend that you arrive for an aftercare appointment with your lenses in for at least 1 to 2 hours.

 

We check both the type of lens you wear and if there are any subtle prescription changes to decide if the contact lenses are still suited for you.

If you and your optometrist are both satisfied with the lenses, you can keep them, order additional, or join a plan. If there are other lenses that could be better for you, we regularly give free trials of them to our patients so they can compare.

 

Our goal is to provide you with as many happy and healthy years as possible while using contact lenses.

Aftercare visits are available on a pay-as-you-go basis, or you can join one of our monthly plans to spread the expense.
