The Importance of Contact Lens Safety

Wearing contact lenses can allow a person freedom from wearing lasses every day or just during social or sports events. However, contact lenses are by no means a replacement for glasses completely. A back up pair of glasses is always necessary for those times when the contact lenses are removed. Up-to-date eyeglasses should be kept alsoin the event that a person’s eyes are bothered by seasonal allergies, a cold, or other irritant. Contact lenses can be safely worn by most people whose eyes are healthy enough for contact lens wear, which can only be determined by your doctor. Contact lenses should never be purchased in beauty supply stores, salons, or flea markets. A contact lens is a medical device, regulated by the Food and Drug Administration, and always requires an eye health evaluation in order to be safely worn. Read more »

Benefits of Contact Lenses
As a contact lens wearer for almost 20 years and an optometrist for almost 12 years, let’s just say I love contacts! After wearing glasses for years, contact lenses can liberate you from the feeling of heavy and thick glasses. Contact lenses provide greater peripheral view. This is important especially when driving. Choosing the color of your eyes is a cosmetic benefit that many people will not go without. For those who play sports and live active lifestyles, contact lenses are an excellent option which provide more freedom of motion and remove the risk of losing or breaking a pair of glasses during activity.

When soft contact lenses do not correct a patient’s vision to an acceptable point and they have a moderate degree of astigmatism, rigid gas permeable(or RGP) lenses are a much better option. First and foremost, any patient suspected of having keratoconus, and not simply astigmatism, should have a mapping of the corneal surface done, which is a corneal topography. This locates all of the irregular areas on the front of the eye which would prevent a contact lens from fitting well. Knowing where these areas are is crucial for the doctor to design a contact lens to properly fit the patient’s eyes. Read more »

What are Bifocal Contact Lenses?

Bifocals are glasses or contact lenses that have two prescriptions in each lens that help people see objects both near and far. People with conditions such as myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness), astigmatism (all over blurry vision) and more commonly presbyopia (vision problems caused by aging) are typically prescribed bifocals or multifocals.

At one time, anyone requiring the use of bifocals had no choice but to wear glasses. It wasn’t until the last couple decades that people who needed bifocals had the option of choosing bifocal contact lenses. Read more »

Contact Lenses for Children

I am often asked by parents what is the “right” age for a child to start wearing contact lenses. The answer is there really isn’t a “right” age. It mostly depends on the child’s maturity and personal hygiene.  Parents, themselves, are usually the better judge of this than I am.  Also, a child must be motivated to try them.  Sports, improved self-confidence, and nearsighted progression (increasing)  are all good reasons for children to be in contact lenses instead of glasses.

I think most times parents and optometrists discount how responsible children can be with contact lenses.  A study done by Jeffrey Walline of Ohio State University found that children Read more »
