Contact Lenses

• Improved Technology
• If you have tried contacts before 2003 and were less than pleased, everything has changed again.
  
• Just like computer technology changes every 3 years, so do contact lenses. For instance, in the 1990's, it was common for a single soft lens to cost $60.00 or more.
  
• We now have lenses that you can wear for a day and throw away--no cleaning or care whatsoever--for as little as 50 cents a day!

Disposable Soft Lenses
These lenses are worn for a period of time then, of course, thrown away. The most well known disposables are two-week disposables which last two weeks. There are also one-week and one-day disposables. These are perfect for many patients who were told they couldn't wear contact lenses because of allergies or mild dry eye conditions. They have a low cost per lens and are also popular for athletes and hobbyists who don't necessarily want to wear contact lenses every day.

Colored Lenses
Colored lenses are all the rage today with just about any look you could desire, from a very subtle illuminating look of the new Radiance lenses to the scary Halloween eyes.

Bifocal Soft Lenses
Recent technology has greatly improved bifocal soft lenses. Many patients past their 40s who need bifocals can now enjoy the comfort and benefits of soft contact lenses.

Extended Wear Soft Lenses
Extended wear lenses are the result of new technology in lens materials that transmit more oxygen to the cornea of the eye. Some of these lens materials can be worn up to 30 days, day and night, without removal. Extended wear lenses can last one week, two weeks, or one month, depending upon the lens material and your doctor's recommendations.

Toric Soft Lenses
Toric lenses are used to correct astigmatism. Astigmatism is a vision condition where an irregularly shaped cornea affects the vision. In the past, if you had astigmatism, your only options were either glasses or hard gas permeable contact lenses. But toric lenses now offer an alternative. There are several types of toric lenses to choose from.

Gas Permeable (GP) Lenses
If you've been told you can't wear soft lenses, RGP lenses are often a great alternative. RGP lenses are available in specialized designs to correct just about any vision disorder.
