Contact Lenses: An Evolution in Technology
Eye care technology has evolved so more people can see the benefits of great
sight with contacts than ever before. Some of the benefits you can expect from
today's lenses include more convenience and comfort, as well as a greater selection
of colors and flexibility of wear.
New Advances and Products
New research has led to improvements in eye health for contact lens wearers.
Science has uncovered secrets about the importance of proper tears and wetting
of contacts. As a result, we can solve a greater variety of visual conditions
and fit more people with contacts, many who were previously unable to tolerate
fulltime wear.
Due to advances in materials, patients experience fewer eye health complications
and enjoy increased safety. Most patients can adapt to comfortable soft lenses
almost immediately. These products also offer part-time wear for those who enjoy
-- or need -- some of the special features of glasses. Gas Permeable (GP) lenses
or the newer, hard lenses offer crisper sight for certain eye conditions.
We Find the Right Option for You
The professionals at Integrated Eyecare employ the latest research about corneal
health and sophisticated technology to help determine whether contact lenses
are right for you -- and which ones may work best. Whether you are wearing contacts
for the first time or interested in changing to more advanced lenses, many options
exist.
The best way to discover if you are a good candidate for contacts lenses is
to schedule an appointment for a complete eye health and vision assessment.
If the doctor determines that you may be eligible, you'll proceed with a contact
lens fitting, which involves additional testing, individualized patient education
and follow-up visits. After this phase is completed, you will receive a final
prescription.
