Contact Lenses
Our
doctors fit various kinds of contact lenses based on each individual’s unique vision problems. We offer the broadest possible choice of lenses available, including the industry’s most recent, proven innovations. Our experienced doctors have served as clinical investigators for a number of contact lens companies, providing the data and information needed to develop new and better lenses. It’s no surprise that we specialize in the "difficult to fit" contact
lens patient.
Keep Your Lenses Clean
You wouldn’t dream of sticking a dirty finger in your eye, so why put in a dirty contact lens? You could be doing just that if you aren’t cleaning your lenses correctly. Begin by washing and drying your hands thoroughly. Soft lenses should be cleaned in the palm of one hand, one at a time, using the appropriate solution. Gently rub the lens with one finger of the other hand in a lateral (back and forth) motion. Finish by rinsing with additional solution. Rinsing lenses with solution alone does not remove enough dust and debris accumulated during daily wear.Keep Your Lenses to Yourself
It’s important not to share contact lenses with anyone else. Trying on someone else’s contact lens or lending out your lens can spread infection. Since contact lenses are fit to the exact size and configuration of one person’s eye, the lens might damage the surface if worn by someone else. If you hear about a particular type of lens you want to try, contact our office and come in to try it for yourself. We will provide you with a fresh, clean lens, designed precisely for the size and shape of your eye.Contact Lens Care Guide

- RINSE each side of the lens for 5 seconds with fresh solution. Place lenses in a clean case and fill with solution. Close the lens case tightly.
