What Are The Benefits Of Contact Lenses And Eyeglasses?

Contact Lenses:
- Provide a wider field of vision

- Act as a fashion statement and personal style accessory
- Protect eyes from environmental factors
- Are easy to use and maintain, ideal for varied lifestyles
Candidates for Contact Lenses and Eyeglasses
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.
Contact Lenses and Eyeglasses Reviews
The staff are absolutely amazing! Our daughter’s lens fell out of the frame when we first started a family vacation in Seattle. We retrieved the screw and arrived at Spex with the hopes of maybe a screwdriver and ad hoc repair. We were welcomed with humour and repair skill beyond what we have ever seen (along with some heart-warming stories and brilliant recommendations on what to see around town). Our daughter left with glasses that far exceeded the comfort of the day she got them elsewhere and have been rock solid ever since! Thank you so much for your caring attitude, skillful expertise and precision work, and a wonderful experience overall!

Dr. Campbell provides the most comprehensive eye exam you will find in Seattle. He's simply the best. He's exceptionally friendly and explains complex topics in ways that those of us who are not eye experts can understand.The rest of the team at Spex are also amazing - friendly, helpful, and on top of details. The selection of frames at Spex are second to none - always top quality and items you'll not find everywhere else. I've been with them two years now, purchased glasses, and I continue to highly recommend.
Dr. Campbell, his team and facility are fabulous. This was without a doubt the most comprehensive and informative vision and eye health exam that I have ever had in 50 years of wearing glasses. As I now understand it, your eyes are the camera but the picture is processed in your brain. Just looking at an eye chart isn’t enough to help you live and see the world as you should. His team then did a fabulous job of fitting and suggesting frames that are both functional and fashionable.
