Contact lenses are thin, corrective disks that cling to the film of tears over your cornea. People have been enjoying the benefits of contact lenses for more than 100 years. At Medical Eye Center, we\u2019re experts at evaluating your eye\u2019s vision and physiology to determine which contact lens is best for you.<\/span><\/p> Over the past decade, advances in technology have made contact lenses an option for just about anyone who needs glasses. If you were told in the past that you couldn\u2019t wear contact lenses, there\u2019s a good chance that you can wear contacts today. We offer a wide variety of contact lens options to accommodate the individual needs of our patients. Selecting the right contact lens for your eyes involves several important considerations:<\/span><\/p> The first step is to find a lens that accurately corrects your vision. If contact lenses are not properly prescribed, your vision won\u2019t be accurately corrected. Because your eyes can change over time, contact lens prescriptions are valid for one year. Your doctor will evaluate the health of your eyes annually to review the accuracy of your prescription and evaluate the fit of your lenses.<\/span><\/p> The lens must fit your eye properly. To accommodate the wide variety in eye shapes, lenses come in many thousands of combinations in diameter and curvature. A poorly fit lens\u2014or one made from a material not well-suited to your eyes\u2014could result in discomfort, inflammation, swelling, abrasion, or other problems that could (in rare cases) result in permanent eye tissue damage.<\/span><\/p> Medical issues may also affect your choice of lens. For example, if your eyes tend to be dry, our fitting specialist will choose a lens designed to help address this condition.<\/span><\/p> In the past, contact lens wearers removed and cleaned their lenses nightly. With the recent addition of new lens materials, however, some patients are able to wear their lenses for extended periods of time. Extended wear lenses are made of a special material that can typically be worn for 7 to 30 days without removal. Your vision needs and eye health will determine whether daily wear, extended wear, or continuous wear contacts are right for your eyes.<\/span><\/p> Finding the perfect lens for your eyes may take several tries. People react differently to various lens materials and cleaning solutions. Also, the correct power, diameter and curvature of your lens can be finalized only after you\u2019ve successfully worn the lens. We\u2019re here to help you with this process every step of the way!<\/span><\/p> TYPES OF CONTACT LENSES<\/span><\/a><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t Do you need new contact lenses?

We\u2019ll work closely with you to decide which material is the most appropriate for your lifestyle and individual needs.<\/span><\/p> Soft contacts are made from a gel-like, water-based plastic. Soft lenses are the most common contacts used today.<\/span><\/p> Also known as RGP or \u201coxygen permeable\u201d lenses, these contacts are made from rigid, waterless plastics and are especially good for presbyopia and high astigmatism.<\/span><\/p> These contacts feature an RGP center with a soft outer skirt, providing wearers with both the crisp optics of a rigid lens and the comfort of a larger, soft lens.<\/span><\/p> Scleral contact lenses functionally replace the irregular cornea with a smooth optical surface to correct vision problems caused by Keratoconus and other corneal irregularities.<\/span><\/p> There are a variety of contact lens designs that can help correct vision problems. Your doctor will carefully select the design that best fits your visual needs.<\/span><\/p> Standard lenses that are used for correcting nearsightedness (myopia) or farsightedness (hyperopia).<\/span><\/p> These lenses have more than one curvature angle, allowing them to correct for astigmatism, as well as for nearsightedness and farsightedness.<\/span><\/p> Just like bi-focal glasses, these lenses contain different zones for near and far vision to correct presbyopia, a decreased ability to focus that occurs as the eye ages.<\/span><\/p> CRT lenses are specially designed to reshape the cornea during sleep, providing lens-free daytime wear.<\/span><\/p> In addition to correcting your vision, many contact lenses also come in colors that can enhance or change the natural color of your eyes.
