Contact Lenses

Contact lenses are designed to fit most eyes and to clear up blurry vision from myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism and presbyopia. The contacts available today offer comfort, safety and convenience as never seen before.

Soft contact lenses are the most popular as they are very comfortable. They can be worn during waking hours only (daily wear) or overnight (extended wear). Contact should never be worn overnight unless approved by your eye doctor.

Deposits (mucus, protein, makeup) and infectious organisms (bacteria, viruses) can build up on the surface of all contact lenses. For this reason it is very important to keep them clean and disinfected. Eye complications and corneal damage can occur if contact lenses are worn longer than recommended by your doctor.
