Contact Lenses
Our doctors have a proud history of fitting their patients
with the highest quality general and specialty contact lenses.
In the last few years, the contact lens industry has made
significant advances in contact lens materials and designs
to accommodate almost any condition. These fantastic technological
benefits that science provides these days, ensure even better
and safer visual eye health benefits. Our doctors take into
consideration your lifestyle, motivation, refractive error,
and ocular health to recommend the best type of contact for
your eye. Experience and research has shown that the most
important factors in contact lens success can be attributed
to the specialized examination, lens design, instruction and
long term and regular follow-up care that our qualified, registered
and experienced contact lens practitioners provide.
There are two major categories of contact lenses, hard and
soft. Hard contact lenses include the original PMMA plastic
lenses (which are rarely used today) as well as rigid gas
permeable, or RGP lenses. These lenses may be best for patients
with certain types of refractive error: high astigmatism,
bifocals, or corneal pathology such as keratoconus. Soft lenses
include a variety of options including; daily wear (yearly
lenses), extended wear (lenses you can sleep in), disposable
wear (1-day, 2-week, or monthly), colored lenses, bifocals
and toric lenses to correct astigmatism. We would be happy
to discuss the best type of lenses for your eyes.

Why You Need Progressive Lenses.
As we get older, we often have difficulty focusing on objects
close-up and at arm's length. This is a natural condition
call presbyopia, a Greek word meaning, "old vision."
It happens to us gradually as our eyes lose their ability
to focus close-up. By the time we reach our mid-forties, we
have to strain to read newsprint or a menu in a dimly lit
restaurant.
Ninety percent of people older than forty-five need some
type of vision correction.
Today's Solutions
To correct presbyopia, traditional solutions have included
reading glasses or bifocal lenses. Reading glasses provide
close-up vision only, while bifocal lenses provide close-up
and distance vision.
Progressive lenses offer a more effective solution. They
provide clean, continuous vision at all distances - up close,
mid-range and far away - so wearer's not only see better,
they look better.And, progressives are more convenient - unlike
reading glasses, they can be left on for all your daily activities
