Contact lenses are the ideal alternative to wearing spectacles. Contact lens enhance the vision of the wearer by reducing spectacle aberrations and increasing the visual field, thus giving a natural vision. Unlikely spectacles, contact lenses do not distort the way your eyes look or leave unsightly grooves on the face or fog-up with sudden temperature changes or break.

Contact lenses enhance your vision by reducing spectacle aberrations and increasing the visual field, giving you natural vision. Unlike spectacles, contact lenses don't distort the way your eyes look, leave unsightly grooves on your face, fog up with sudden temperature changes, or break.
In most cases, contact lenses are used as a substitute for glasses, allowing you to dispense with them entirely. They may also be used to treat certain eye diseases or for cosmetic purposes to change the apparent colour of your eyes.
For a lot of people, glasses work perfectly fine. But contact lenses solve specific problems that glasses can't. They sit directly on the eye, so there's no frame blocking your peripheral vision, no fogging when you walk into an air-conditioned room from outside, and no distortion at the edges.
Full peripheral vision with no frame edges cutting in
No fog-ups with temperature changes - rain, humidity, cooking
Move freely during sports, workouts, and outdoor activities
Contact lenses are miraculous pieces of plastic that allow you to see without glasses. But not all lenses are the same. The right type depends on your prescription, your daily routine, and how your eyes respond to lens wear. Here's what we fit.

The most commonly prescribed type. Soft lenses are comfortable from the first wear and come in prescriptions for nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. They're easy to adapt to and suitable for most people looking for a glasses-free option.
Same comfort as regular soft lenses, but designed to be replaced on a fixed schedule - daily, weekly, or monthly. Frequent replacement means less deposit buildup on the lens surface, lower risk of infection, and less maintenance. A good option if convenience is a priority.
Specifically designed for people with astigmatism. Toric lenses have different focusing powers in different parts of the lens to correct the uneven curvature of the eye. They need precise fitting because orientation on the eye matters - a slight rotation and the vision won't be right.
Want to change your eye colour? Cosmetic lenses do that. Available with or without vision correction. Even if you don't need a prescription, these still need to be properly fitted. Poorly fitted cosmetic lenses can scratch the cornea or cause infections.
Used to improve the appearance of an eye that's been disfigured by injury or disease. Prosthetic lenses are custom-painted to match your other eye. They're not about vision correction - they're about helping you feel comfortable and confident.
Firmer than soft lenses but more breathable. Gas permeable lenses allow more oxygen to reach the cornea, which keeps the eye healthier during extended wear. They give sharper vision than soft lenses, especially for higher prescriptions and irregular corneas. Take a few days to get used to, but many wearers prefer them long-term.
Irritation may occur as a result of worn-out lenses, over-wear of lenses, poor care of lenses, intolerance to solutions, or infections. Irritation may also occur from poor hygiene on the part of the lens wearer

Irritation can occur due to worn-out lenses, over-wear, or poor hygiene. To maintain eye health, it is essential to recognize these symptoms early and address intolerance to solutions or potential infections immediately.
Worn longer than recommended, lenses can develop surface deposits that lead to severe irritation, especially in sensitive eyes. Always adhere to the wear schedule provided by your specialist to prevent buildup.
A major cause of blinding infections is using saliva to lubricate lenses. Never put contact lenses in your mouth. Always carry a small bottle of rewetting solution to handle lenses safely if they fall out or need removal.
Never use homemade or non-contact-lens saline solutions, as they are often non-sterile and can cause blinding infections. Always use the specific, professional-grade solution recommended by your lens fitter for compatibility.
If a lens is not fitting well or a solution incompatibility is suspected, wear should be discontinued. We evaluate your care regimen and may refit you with new materials that are better tolerated and provide clearer vision.
For infections, we utilize highly effective antibiotic eyedrops tailored to your specific case. In serious scenarios, we provide advanced care including cultures, specialized injections, or surgical management to protect your sight.
Diagnosis and treatment of contact lens problems entail a complete history and an eye examination.

We begin with a thorough review of your symptoms, including light sensitivity or redness. To provide the best care, we evaluate your current lens type, replacement schedule, and specific cleaning regimen.
We conduct a precise vision check without your lenses to establish a baseline. If your vision cannot be fully corrected, our specialists investigate further to rule out any underlying corneal issues.
Using a high-magnification slit lamp microscope and specialized colored lights, your doctor examines the intricate structures of your eye to detect even the smallest irregularities or fit issues.
We may apply a safe diagnostic dye called fluorescein to the eye. This specialized technique allows our doctors to clearly identify surface abrasions or ulcers that are invisible to the naked eye.
For suspected infections, we take clinical cultures for laboratory evaluation. This scientific approach ensures we identify the exact cause and prescribe the most effective treatment for your specific needs.
Based on your exam results, we provide tailored antibiotic treatments or refitting services. Our goal is to resolve discomfort quickly and prevent long-term complications through expert clinical management.
If you experience irritation, pain, blurred vision, redness, or light sensitivity, immediately remove your contact lenses and re-evaluate your symptoms. Here's how to handle things at home.

Because you should not wear your contact lenses when experiencing these problems, you should have an up-to-date pair of glasses for these times. With well-fitting contact lenses, you should be able to remove your lenses and see well with your glasses, essentially immediately. Blurred vision, lasting for hours, upon removal of the contacts is usually a sign of poorly fitting contact lenses. If your vision is blurred, with your glasses, when lenses are removed, notify your fitter.
You should examine your contact lenses for any defects. In the case of a torn soft lens or a cracked gas permeable lens, your eye should feel immediately relieved once you remove the lens. If soap or cleaning solution gets in your contact lens case and, in turn, on your lenses, irrigate your eyes with your rinsing solution or tap water. This can be extremely painful. Then, either discard the lenses or rinse them off multiple times in the storage solution to rid the lenses of the soap.
When the irritation is from something blowing into the eye, remove the lens and look for a foreign body. The foreign body may be removed with a cotton-tipped applicator or a rolled-up piece of facial tissue. Once removed, your eye should feel immediately relieved of the discomfort.
If eyedrops are prescribed for an infection, you should use these eyedrops, usually with the contacts out of your eyes. Ask your doctor whether you should remove your lenses when instilling drops. You should not wear contacts when your eyes are red or irritated.
To instill eyedrops, hold your head back and squeeze one drop out of the bottle. Do not touch your lashes or eyelids with the dropper. Close your eye for about 30 seconds after instilling the eyedrop, and do not rub your eye.
Fitting of contact lenses involves a complete eye examination with measurements of the cornea and selection of appropriate lenses. The fitting is not complete until follow-up evaluations confirm the correct fitting of the contact lenses. After this, in most states, the fitter must give the contact-lens prescription to the wearer whether or not he or she asks for it.
When ordering lenses by mail or through local stores, it is essential to double-check your order upon arrival. You must make sure that the lenses you receive are exactly the same-matching the brand, material, base curve, diameter, and thickness-as the ones originally fit and dispensed to you.
Recognize that ordering new lenses will not solve underlying discomfort, as the true cause may actually be an infection or another serious problem. Additionally, while mail orders are often chosen for lower prices, you should check with your fitter first, as they will usually meet or beat the price of those companies.
If your lenses are ordered by mail or purchased outside of your fitter's office, you cannot skip your routine eye care. To protect your vision, be absolutely sure to schedule and attend your regular follow-up examinations at the exact intervals recommended by your fitter.
Most people can. But some eye conditions, very dry eyes, or certain work environments (dusty, chemical-heavy) may make contact lenses uncomfortable or risky. Your eye doctor will assess your eyes and let you know if you're a good candidate.
Depends on the type. Daily disposables are worn once and discarded. Extended-wear lenses may be approved for overnight use, but sleeping in lenses always carries a higher infection risk. Your fitter will tell you the safe limit for your specific lenses. When in doubt, take them out.
It's not recommended. Water - pool, shower, lake - carries bacteria and microorganisms that can stick to lenses and cause serious infections like Acanthamoeba keratitis. If you must swim in lenses, use daily disposables and discard them immediately after.
