As soon as we have finished a thorough eye exam, we will talk about whether contact lenses or eyeglasses are the most effective treatment for your vision impairment. For some people, contacts are the easiest option to achieve their best vision. Beyond ease of use, contact lens capabilities have made many recent improvements. Several of the most frequently requested types of lenses we provide include daily wear, one-day wear, multifocal, and astigmatism contact lenses. Furthermore, current contacts feel better now than ever, with 9 out of every 10 contact lens users feeling zero discomfort.

For patients who may be hesitant to try to put in contacts or who have specific eye conditions, prescription glasses are also an easy choice. As with contact lenses, eyeglasses have undergone remarkable advancements over the years and can offer many benefits.

Eyeglasses are usually more budget-friendly than contacts, less challenging to store when not in use, and not as fragile. In addition, glasses screen the eyes from many external elements and do not aggravate dry or itchy eyes like contacts can. However, most patients choose to use a combination of both types of prescription lenses for different situations.
