Contact Lenses

Find the right fit for your eyes at Accurate Vision Clinic.

Do you need vision correction but don't want to wear eyeglasses full time? Contact lenses are a great option for almost anyone.

We offer a wide selection, and our experienced team of eye care professionals can help you find the right contacts for you.

What are my options?

There are many contact lens options available. Your eye care provider will take your lifestyle and vision correction needs into consideration when helping you select the right lenses for your eyes.

Here are some of the most common contact lens types:

• Hard contact lenses - Hard contact lenses are rigid gas-permeable. This means that they are porous enough to allow oxygen to enter through the lens to the cornea. Hard contact lenses keep their shape on the eye. Scleral lenses are a type of hard contact that can be used to help individuals with severe eye conditions or those with irregular corneas.
• Soft contact lenses - Soft contact lenses are popular because they are very comfortable for the wearer. Soft contact lenses don't "pop out" the way hard lenses occasionally might. Soft lenses are appropriate to correct nearsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism, and even presbyopia!
• Daily disposable soft contact lenses - Intended to be worn once for up to a day and then thrown away. These lenses may help prevent allergic reactions or bacterial infections in sensitive wearers. Daily disposable lenses are also appropriate for children who might not take excellent care when cleaning their lenses. Dailies may also be suitable for patients with dry eye or those who only wear contacts for short periods of time.
• Reusable soft contact lenses - These contacts are worn all day and then removed at night for cleaning. These lenses generally last until their given expiration date, at which point they must be discarded and replaced because the lens material begins to break down. Commonly, the replacement schedules determined by the manufacturer are either weekly, biweekly, or monthly.
• Extended wear soft contact lenses - Extended wear contact lenses are designed to be worn constantly for up to a week. They do need to be deep-cleaned weekly, however. Unlike other lenses, some extended-wear contacts can be worn while sleeping. The lens type allows sufficient oxygen to reach the eye for health.
• Colored soft contact lenses - These are worn to enhance or completely change the color or appearance of the iris. They are still prescription contact lenses, however, and need to be treated with the same care you would give to regular lenses.
