If you're getting your first prescription for vision correction or have worn glasses for years, consider contact lenses. Advancing design techniques and materials have made contacts more affordable and comfortable to wear than ever before. This optical solution offers a range of benefits that make it the right choice for many patients.

Why Choose Contact Lenses?

1. Aesthetics

Lenses are discrete, so no one will know you're wearing them. You won't have to worry about choosing eyeglass frames that suit your style or wonder whether your glasses complement your face shape. Contact lenses can also be colored, giving you the freedom to change your apparent eye color.

2. Durability

If you have an active lifestyle, contacts won't impede your movements—they'll stay put at times when glasses would fall off. Since they’re meant to be replaced regularly, you won’t have to worry about the cost of getting a new pair if you lose one. You can freely play sports and exercise without fussing over additional eyewear.

3. Convenience

Contact lenses will never get in the way. For example, when you’re reading, you won’t have visible frames in your view, as you do with glasses. If you want to wear sunglasses, you can choose a pair off the shelf instead of waiting to get a prescription version. Additionally, if you wear makeup, you don’t have to choose between fuzzy vision or working around the glass when you apply beauty products.
