With advancements
in technology, contact lenses have evolved over the
years to a device which interferes the least with
the normal physiology of the eye. Most people
choose to wear contact lenses for cosmetic reasons
only. However, some can only function with a
special type of contact lens and are unable to
tolerate the limited vision enhancement afforded
them by spectacles alone. The most commonly
prescribed contact lenses are: disposable and
standard soft lenses, astigmatic or toric soft
lenses and gas permeable hard lenses. Many
specialty lenses such as tinted, bifocal and
keratoconic lenses are also available. Patients
ranging in age from newborn to 80+ have been
successfully fitted with contact lenses. Our
contact lens specialist is Dr.
