Considering Contacts? Here's What You Should Know
The Benefits of Contact Lenses
Are you thinking about switching to contact lenses? Whether you’re new to vision correction or considering a change from glasses, contact lenses offer a practical and comfortable solution for clear vision. At East Norwich Optics, we specialize in helping our customers make informed decisions and find the ideal contact lenses to meet their needs. Before you make the leap, here’s what you should know to ensure a comfortable and successful experience.
Contact lenses provide several advantages over traditional glasses. They offer a wider field of view, which is great for activities like sports and driving. Contact lenses don’t fog up during temperature changes and won’t get in the way of your style. Whether you need vision correction for nearsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism, or presbyopia, there’s a contact lens option designed for you.
Additionally, many people find contacts more convenient and enjoy the freedom they bring. From daily disposables to extended wear options, contact lenses can seamlessly fit into your lifestyle.
Types of Contact Lenses
There are several types of contact lenses available, each tailored to specific needs:
- Soft Contact Lenses - These lenses are made from flexible, breathable materials for comfort and are ideal for first-time wearers. They come in daily, weekly, or monthly disposable varieties.
- Rigid Gas Permeable (RGP) Lenses - Offering sharper vision, RGP lenses are durable and can be more cost-effective in the long run.
- Toric Lenses - Designed specifically for astigmatism, these lenses correct uneven corneal curvature for clear vision.
- Multifocal Lenses - Perfect for those with presbyopia, these lenses allow you to see both near and far without the need for bifocals.
At East Norwich Optics, we’ll evaluate your eyes and recommend the best lens type for your prescription and lifestyle.
Tips for First-Time Users
Adjusting to contact lenses can feel intimidating at first, but these tips can help ensure a smooth transition:
- Follow the Professional Fitting Process: A proper fitting is essential for comfort and eye health. At East Norwich Optics, we’ll guide you through this process, ensuring you get lenses that fit well and feel great.
- Maintain Proper Hygiene: Always wash your hands before handling your contact lenses and clean them with the appropriate solutions to avoid infections.
