CONTACT LENSES

Contact lenses correct your vision and are easy to wear. Choosing the contact lenses that are right for you depends on your vision and comfort. There are many types of contacts to suit almost anyone. Types of contact lenses include:

Soft Contact Lenses:

Providing superior comfort, soft contact lenses are the most frequently prescribed. Soft contacts are now available in multi-focal, for astigmatism and even for overnight wear. Soft contact lenses include:

• Daily Wear: can be worn up to 18 hours but must be removed and cleaned at night
  
• Extended Wear: can be worn overnight
  
• Disposable: can be worn for one day and discarded
  
• Color-Changing: can change the color of your eyes even if vision correction is not needed

Hard Contact Lenses:

Also sometimes called rigid or gas-permeable lenses, hard contact lenses offer sharper vision and can correct severe nearsightedness or astigmatism, but are less comfortable at first than soft contact lenses.

At Southfork Optical Center, we offer all types and brands of contact lenses specifically fitted for each individual’s needs. It is very important that your lenses are fitted correctly based on your prescription, eye shape and specific needs.
