Soft contact lenses are a popular vision correction option that offer flexibility, comfort, and clear vision. Here’s an overview for patients considering soft contacts:
Worn for a single day and discarded, ideal for patients seeking low-maintenance lenses with reduced risk of irritation and infection.
Worn daily but removed each night and stored in a disinfecting solution, then replaced every two weeks or monthly. They’re a cost-effective choice for consistent wear.
Designed for continuous wear, including overnight, for up to a week. They’re convenient but require close monitoring and are only suitable for specific patients.
Specially designed for patients with astigmatism, these lenses correct vision by stabilizing the lens on the eye and providing sharper focus.
Ideal for presbyopic patients, these lenses offer clear vision at multiple distances (near, intermediate, and far) and help eliminate the need for reading glasses.
Available in both prescription and non-prescription options, colored lenses can enhance or change eye color while also providing vision correction.
During the first visit, the eye doctor discusses the patient’s vision needs and lifestyle to recommend the most suitable lens type.
Detailed measurements of the corneal curvature and eye surface are taken to ensure a comfortable fit.
Trial lenses may be provided to allow the patient to experience the lenses before committing to a specific type.
Patients are taught how to insert, remove, and care for their lenses safely.
After the initial fitting, follow-up appointments are scheduled to monitor eye health and ensure the lenses are performing well.
Soft contact lenses are a safe, versatile solution for vision correction with proper fitting and care. Regular follow-ups help maintain eye health and comfort, ensuring the best possible experience with contacts.
