What Are Contact Lenses?

Contact lenses are artificial lenses applied to the front surface of the eye, used to correct refractive errors, improve peripheral vision, offer cosmetic enhancement, and provide therapeutic benefits for various eye conditions.


Contact Lenses

Why Are Contact Lenses Used?

  • Vision Correction: Contact lenses effectively correct refractive errors like myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism.
  • Unobstructed View: They provide a wider field of vision without the obstruction caused by eyeglass frames.
  • Comfort During Activities: Ideal for sports and physical activities, as they do not slip or fog up.
  • Aesthetic Appeal: Contact lenses enhance appearance by allowing the natural look of the eyes to be visible.
  • Convenience: They can be worn with non-prescription sunglasses and are suitable for various environments without hassle.
  • Specialized Uses: Some lenses can treat specific eye conditions or provide therapeutic benefits, such as protecting healing corneas.

Types of Contact Lenses

  • Soft Contact Lenses: Made of soft, flexible material, these lenses are easier to adjust to and provide better initial comfort. They include soft toric lenses for astigmatism and cosmetic lenses to enhance or change eye color.
  • Multifocal Contact Lenses: These correct presbyopia, providing clear vision at all distances and eliminating the need for reading glasses.
  • Rigid Contact Lenses: More durable than soft lenses, they resist deposit buildup, last longer, and help correct high corneal astigmatism and irregularities.
  • Scleral Contact Lenses: These arch over the cornea, creating a uniform optical surface to correct high corneal astigmatism and manage conditions like severe dry eye disease.
  • Prosthetic Contact Lenses: Custom-made to improve cosmetic appearance and vision in damaged or disfigured eyes.
  • Kerasoft Lenses: Customizable soft lens design for management of keratoconus and most irregular cornea conditions.
