Contact Lenses
Contact Lenses Provided by Accent on Eyes
Contact lenses offer a more convenient and comfortable vision correction alternative to eyeglasses for many people. These thin, curved pieces of plastic fit directly on the cornea to correct refractive vision errors like nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. Our optometrist at Accent on Eyes in Rockville Centre, NY, can perform a contact lens exam to determine which lenses suit your visual needs and lifestyle. We are here to tell you about the types of contact lenses available and how they can improve your vision.
Types of Contact Lenses
The two most common contact lens types are soft contacts and rigid gas permeable lenses. Soft contacts are the most popular and most comfortable type between the two. However, rigid gas permeable lenses are often a better option for people with astigmatism.
Contact lenses are also available in a variety of wear schedules. Daily disposable lenses are helpful for people who do not want to worry about contact lens maintenance since you discard them by the end of the day. Extended-wear contacts allow you to reuse the same lenses for several days. Traditional soft lenses need replacing every two weeks or monthly.
Colored Contact Lenses
Another contact lens type available is colored contact lenses. These lenses change the color of your iris to help your eyes pop or complement your fashion. Colored contacts can come in a variety of colors that range from subtle enhancements to dramatic transformations. These lenses also help with some iris conditions or injuries by decreasing the amount of light that enters your eye.
Consulting an optometrist for Contact Lenses
If you are considering contact lenses, talk with your optometrist and schedule a contact lens exam. They will assess your eyes to determine if contact lenses can improve your vision safely and comfortably. Your optometrist can also help you choose the best contacts for your visual needs and lifestyle. Once you receive your contact lenses, your optometrist will provide instructions on wearing and caring for them. They can also ensure your contact lens prescription is up-to-date so you can see clearly and comfortably.

Children Grow
As children grow, their eyes change quickly. Careful attention to a child's health can help catch problems early while their eyes are still developing. Here are a few things to know about children's eyes.
Watch for misalignment, or when one eye looks straight ahead and the other one turns inward or outward.
This may be a sign of strabismus. Some signs that your child is having vision issues are:
1. Quick loss of interest in activities that require eye use
2. Losing their place when they read
3. Turning their head to look at something in front of them
If you see one or more of these issues make an appointment with a pediatric ophthalmologist.
