If you are like many people, correcting your vision is important, but glasses either don’t fit your tastes or your lifestyle. Fortunately you don’t have to choose between wearing glasses and seeing well. With contact lenses, you can have all the benefits of corrective lenses without ever having to put a pair of glasses on.
Just like eyeglasses, contact lenses can be used to correct all major vision problems, including myopia, hyperopia and astigmatism. They are an increasingly popular choice because they are convenient and effective, great for sports, work and play.
Our eye wear professionals are here to help you find a pair of contact lenses that will correct your vision while remaining comfortable and easy to care for. There are many types of contact lenses available, including hard lenses, soft lenses and GP lenses. Hard lenses, made from Lucite or Plexiglas are only rarely used. Soft lenses are the most common choice and are composed of a gel-like water containing plastic. GP lenses are recommended for people with severe astigmatism and presbyopia. They are made from a rigid plastic and are oxygen permeable.
