Introduction to Contact Lenses

Modern technology has opened the world of contact lens vision correction to nearly everyone. Today we can correct all types of vision problems through the use of soft or rigid lenses. If you are nearsighted, farsighted, have astigmatism which is an irregular curve to the eye, or even require bifocals, you can now enjoy freedom from glasses with the natural, comfortable vision of contact lenses. The various options should be discussed with your doctor. Depending on the type or lens needed, the cost will vary. Unlike glasses, contact lenses come in contact with the eyes and therefore it is important to use the best quality lenses with a professional fitting and follow-up to minimize and avoid problems. Unlike glasses, one needs a trial fitting to determine the contact lens prescription.
