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.. Contact lenses provide a safe and effective way to correct vision when used with care and proper supervision. They can offer a good alternative to eyeglasses depending on your eyes and lifestyle.
Daily-wear soft lenses are the most comfortable and your eyes will adjust to wearing them in less time than hard contact lenses.
Disposable Contact Lenses are lenses designed to be replaced on a regular basis usually daily, bi-weekly or monthly. The more often a lens is replaced the less likely the lens will become deposited with proteins and oils.
Leave-in (extended wear) contact lenses are designed to be worn continuously for 30 days and nights and then replaced with a new contact lens. They offer the ultimate in convenience since they usually don't need removing or manual cleaning.
Toric Contact Lenses are made from the same material as regular (spherical) contact lenses. Toric lenses have two powers in them created with curvatures at different angles (one for astigmatism the other for either myopia or Hyperopia).
Rigid Gas permeable contact lenses offer excellent long-term corneal health since they allow almost as much oxygen to pass through to the cornea as without a lens on the eye. They require a longer period of adaptation than soft lenses.
Bifocal contact lenses are designed to provide good vision to people who have a condition called presbyopia The main sign that you're developing presbyopia is that you need to hold menus, newspapers and other reading material farther from your eyes in order to see it clearly.
Colored contact lenses come in three kinds: visibility tints, enhancement tints and opaque color tints. Many of these colored contact lenses are available in Plano form, as well as in designs for people who have astigmatism, need bifocal contacts or want a disposable contact lens.
Heralded as "a quantum leap forward in the evolution of lens design for the condition" of keratoconus the Rose K lens has become the world's most frequently prescribed gas permeable contact lens for keratoconus. Unlike traditional contact lenses, the complex geometry built into every Rose K contact lens closely mimics the cone like shape of the cornea, for every stage of the condition
A Scleral lens is a large type of contact lens that rests on the sclera and creates a tear-filled vault over the cornea.
