Contact lenses, when used properly, are very convenient and with the latest advancements in technology they are extremely comfortable. Most of the time, you will hardly know you are wearing them, though you will certainly notice how clear and accurate your vision is. Contact lenses are small lenses worn on the surface of the eye to correct vision. Lenses are sometimes worn for cosmetic purposes only. We recommend wearing contact lenses in conjunction with eye glasses. This allows you to best meet your overall lifestyle needs while protecting the integrity of your overall eye health.

Many patients choose contact lenses for their primary vision correction and glasses as a backup option, while patients who wear glasses primarily have activities and events where they would rather not wear their glasses. During these times, contact lenses would be very beneficial. We will discuss the option that is best for you.

Many of our patients were told in the past that they could not wear contacts, or they tried unsuccessfully to wear contact lenses. You owe it to yourself to see what's new. We carry many options and promise to do our best in selecting contact lenses that you will love wearing. Choose from the following list for a brief look at some of the options available:
