Contact Lenses

Contact lenses are the ideal alternative to wearing spectacles. They are made from a variety of sophisticated materials and can correct virtually any optical defect of the eye. Unlikely spectacles, contact lenses do not distort the way your eyes look or leave unsightly grooves on the face or fog-up with sudden temperature changes or break. They do not slide down your nose and are ideal for sports.

Contact lenses, like eyeglasses or LASIK, can correct your near sightedness,far sightedness and astigmatism.

While some people enjoy making a fashion statement with eyeglasses, others prefer their appearance with Contact lenses. Contact lenses can also provide a full field of unobstructed vision, which is great for sports.

Contact lenses have been around for more than a hundred years. During that time, much advancement have allowed just about everyone to wear contact lenses. If you were told in the past that you couldn’t wear contact lenses, odds are that’s not true today. There are more convenient and healthy contact lens options than ever.

There is an increasing trend of buying contact lenses over the counter or through online platforms. The patients are often unaware of the risks involved in purchasing contact lenses online. The optometrist should evaluate your eye health, your proposed wearing schedule, your working environment and most importantly the curvature of your eye which will only determine how best a lens can be fitted in the eye. As contact lens are directly in touch with your living tissue any risk whatsoever should not be taken while deciding about your contact lenses needless to mention that the price of the lenses should be the last factor to be considered and the first factor always the health of your eyes.

They must be prescribed and properly fitted by an Optometrist. Your Optometrist will evaluate your visual needs, your eye structure, and your tears function to help determine the best type of lens for you. Contact Lens price varies depending on the lens quality and type of lens suggested by the ophthalmologists.
