Contact Lens FAQs

We offer a full range of soft contact lenses, including daily disposable, bi-weekly, and monthly lenses. This includes lenses for nearsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism, and presbyopia (multifocal contacts). Depending on your eye health and prescription, we may also recommend specialty lenses.

The best contact lenses for you are determined during a comprehensive eye exam and contact lens fitting. Your doctor considers your prescription, eye shape, tear film, lifestyle, comfort needs, and visual goals before recommending specific lenses.

Yes. Contact lens prescriptions are different from glasses prescriptions because contacts sit directly on the eye and require additional measurements, including lens fit, curvature, and material.

Replacement schedules depend on the type of lens you wear. Some lenses are designed to be replaced daily, while others are replaced every two weeks or monthly. Wearing lenses longer than recommended can increase the risk of discomfort and eye infections.

• Daily disposable lenses are worn once and discarded at the end of each day.
• Weekly lenses are replaced every week and require daily cleaning and proper overnight storage.
• Bi-weekly lenses are replaced every two weeks and require daily cleaning and proper overnight storage.
