Over 24 million people choose contact lenses to correct vision. When used with care and proper supervision, contacts are a safe and effective alternative to eyeglasses. And with today's new lens technology, many people who wear eyeglasses can also successfully wear contacts.

We dispense a variety of different types of contact lenses including daily-wear soft and gas-permeable hard contact lenses. We also fit toric contact lenses for the correction of astigmatism, disposable and planned-replacement contact lenses. The type of contact lens that is best suited for an individual is determined through a thorough eye examination and discussion of the pros and cons. We also provide personalized instruction in contact lens management to assure that the patient's contact lens experience is safe and rewarding.

The majority of people can tolerate contact lenses, but there are some exceptions. Conditions that might prevent an individual from successfully wearing contact lenses include dry eye, severe allergies, frequent eye infections, or a dusty and dirty work environment.

Individuals who wear any type of contact lens overnight have a greater chance of developing infections in the cornea. These infections are often due to poor cleaning and lens care.
