CONTACT LENSES
Contact lenses correct your vision and are easy to wear. Choosing the contact lenses that are right for you depends on your vision and the degree of comfort you are seeking. There are many types of contacts to suit almost anyone. Types of contact lenses include:
Soft Contact Lenses:
Soft contact lenses are the most commonly prescribed due to the fact that they are extremely comfortable. Soft contacts are now available in multi focal, for astigmatism and even for overnight wear. Soft contact lenses include:
- Daily Wear: can be worn up to 18 hours but must be removed and cleaned at night
- Extended Wear: can be worn overnight
- Disposable: can be worn for just one day then discarded
- Color-Changing: can change the color of your eyes, even if vision correction is not needed
Hard Contact Lenses:
Sometimes called rigid or gas-permeable lenses, hard contact lenses offer sharper vision and can correct severe nearsightedness or astigmatism.
At Tidswell Eyecare, we offer all types and brands of contact lenses specifically fitted for each individual's needs. It is very important that your lenses are fitted correctly based on your prescription, eye shape and specific needs.
Specialty Contact Lenses:
Sometimes called scleral lenses, these contact lenses offer sharper vision and correct for eye conditions such as Keratoconus and severe astigmatism.
