Eyeglasses Or Contact Lenses: Which Pair Is Right For You?

Eyeglasses

Eyeglasses have long been a go-to option for correcting refractive errors. The lenses can be customized to address your visual acuity needs. We can even apply special coatings on them, such as blue light-blocking or UV-protective tints, for your enhanced visual protection. Another advantage of eyeglasses is that the lenses can shield your eyes from drying winds and foreign matter, reducing your risk of developing eye irritations or infections.

Many consider eyeglasses as a safe and reliable option. They are also easy to use, clean, and maintain. They’re also cost efficient, as you can re-use your frames when your prescription changes. With the different designs available, it’s easy to find a pair that reflects your personality and style. Your eye doctor can help you pick frames that complement your facial features and showcases your unique character.

Contact Lenses

Contact lenses are applied directly onto your eyes, taking the shape of your cornea. This provides a wider visual field access, reducing visual distortions in your peripheral view. Contacts also let you enjoy a more natural way of living, which makes them an ideal option for athletes and people with active lifestyles.

Contact lenses have a suggested replacement schedule to maintain your visual health and safety. Make sure to mark this date on your calendars to prevent lens wear-related complications. While they may be tricky to use at first, rest assured we’ll give you a step-by-step tutorial after your eye exam.
