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 optician 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 Optician for Contact Lenses

If you are considering contact lenses, talk with your optician and schedule a contact lens exam. They will assess your eyes to determine if contact lenses can improve your vision safely and comfortably. Your optician can also help you choose the best contacts for your visual needs and lifestyle. Once you receive your contact lenses, your optician 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.
