Contact lenses are a great alternative to wearing eyeglasses. Each individual is different - some want to wear contacts daily while others want to wear contacts only on weekends or for playing sports. Other reasons to choose contacts include:
Excellent peripheral vision-an area where glasses fail
Unobstructed vision - no frames will get in your way
All weather durability
Contact lenses allow you the freedom to play sports without glasses getting in the way
They allow others to see your eyes better
They allow you the option to purchase sunglasses with no prescription
Our office carries contact lenses from top-quality brands such as:
Disposable Contact Lenses
Daily disposable contact lenses have gained popularity in recent years. Having a fresh pair of contact lenses with every wear allows you to have more comfort, less dry eye symptoms, and be less prone to contact lens-related eye infections. They are also more advantageous for outdoor activities and sports as well as working in dry/dusty environments.
