Types of Contact Lenses
Contact lenses present a versatile and effective method for vision correction, offering a convenient alternative to traditional glasses. We provide diverse contact lenses tailored to fit your prescription and lifestyle. Our opticians are ready to assist in selecting the most appropriate lenses for your specific needs.
Daily Wear Lenses
Daily wear lenses are crafted for comfortable, all-day use. They are available in two primary varieties: daily disposable lenses and reusable options like monthly or bi-weekly lenses. Both types are designed to provide sharp vision and comfort, catering to individual preferences.
Daily Disposable Lenses
Daily disposable lenses are single-use, ensuring maximum convenience and hygiene. Perfect for both occasional and daily use, these lenses provide the luxury of a fresh pair every day, eliminating the need for cleaning or storage. Their design significantly reduces the risk of eye infections.
Monthly and Bi-Weekly Lenses
Monthly and bi-weekly lenses are reusable and designed for those who prefer regular wear. These lenses offer an economical option for daily users, requiring a consistent cleaning and storage routine. It is ideal for individuals comfortable with lens maintenance, as it is practical and cost-efficient.
Specialist Prescription Lenses
Specialist prescription lenses are created for more complex vision needs beyond the standard corrections. These include toric lenses for astigmatism, multifocal lenses for presbyopia, and rigid gas permeable (RGP) lenses for enhanced clarity.
Toric Lenses
Toric lenses are specifically engineered to correct astigmatism. Their unique shape maintains stability in the eye, ensuring consistent vision correction. These lenses come in soft and rigid varieties and are available in daily or reusable formats.
Multifocal Lenses
Designed for those with presbyopia, multifocal lenses combine prescriptions for near--, intermediate--, and distance vision within a single lens. This allows wearers to see clearly at various distances without switching between glasses.
Lenses for Dry Eyes
For those experiencing dry eyes, specialized contact lenses focus on moisture retention and comfort. Options such as hydrogel, silicone hydrogel, and daily disposable lenses are designed to alleviate discomfort, ensuring prolonged wear without irritation.
Hydrogel and Silicone Hydrogel Lenses
Hydrogel and silicone hydrogel lenses have a high water content, making them comfortable and user-friendly. Silicone hydrogel lenses allow more oxygen to reach the cornea, which makes them suitable for extended wear. Both types are available for various vision corrections.
Daily Disposable Lenses for Dry Eyes
Daily disposable lenses are also an excellent choice for individuals with dry eyes. Providing a fresh, clean pair each day reduces the risk of deposits that can exacerbate dryness. These lenses eliminate the need for cleaning, minimizing exposure to allergens and irritants.
Overnight Wear Myopia Management Lenses
Overnight wear myopia management lenses, such as Ortho-K, are specifically designed to slow myopia progression in children and young adults. These lenses correct vision and help manage myopia's progression, potentially lowering the risk of future complications associated with high myopia. They provide a non-invasive alternative to traditional corrective measures for nearsightedness.
