Many Reasons to Make the Switch
There are many reasons to make the switch from glasses to contact lenses. From achieving a glasses-free look to playing sports with more natural vision, contact lenses offer many benefits and are a great adjunct to eyeglasses.
Dr. Abrams will assess your overall ocular health during a comprehensive eye exam to confirm that your eyes are well-suited to contact lenses. Contact lenses are medical devices and need to be prescribed by an eye doctor.
To determine your suitability for contact lenses, please book your appointment today.
Can I Wear Contact Lenses?
With advancements in technology and new lens types, most patients who want to wear contact lenses are able to. However, contact lenses are not always suitable for everyone.
You may not be comfortable wearing contact lenses if you have:
- Severe allergies
- Dry eye disease
- Repeated eye infections
Dr. Abrams will take the time to determine your suitability for contact lenses. Please note that dry eye disease does not necessarily rule out contact lens use. We are very experienced in dry eye treatment and can provide an advanced dry eye assessment and recommendations for contact lenses, depending on your results.
Optimal Sight Requires Optimal Fit
A proper fit is critical to long-term contact lens comfort and satisfaction. Great attention to detail is needed to achieve an ideal level of comfort, and we take great care to provide you with the best possible fit. A contact lens fitting requires tailored tests and measurements.
During your exam, we will not only test your visual acuity and refraction, but examine the curvature of your cornea. Since contact lenses sit directly on the cornea, we must understand its shape and contours.
We use corneal topography to map the surface and characteristics of your cornea. We also take your pupil and iris measurements to ensure we provide the correct size of lenses.
Depending on your prescription, measurements, and overall ocular health, Dr. Abrams and our team will thoroughly explain your options. Our recommendations will vary depending on your examination results and lifestyle.
Assess Your Suitability for Contact Lenses Today
After we have decided what types of lenses are best suited to you, it is time to test them out. We can provide you with trial lenses so you can wear your new contacts for a bit. We will conduct a follow-up appointment to make sure they fit properly and see well with them before you place an order.
We recommend all contact lens wearers undergo annual comprehensive eye exams to ensure you are tolerating your lenses well. Please book your appointment today to make the switch to contact lenses.
