Contact Lenses

Overview
Providers

At the Moran Eye Center we provide many contact lens options that include a variety of brands and schedules for wearing your contact lenses.

We have soft disposable lenses, soft disposable toric lenses (lenses that correct astigmatism), rigid gas permeable lenses, bifocal contacts and monovision lenses for our patients where both nearsightedness and farsightedness need correction. We also offer prescription colored contact lenses and colored contacts for those who simply want to change their eye color.

To get a new contact prescription or to see if you are a good candidate for contacts, schedule a routine eye exam at one of our Community Health Centers below or at the Moran Eye Center.

Who can wear contacts?

Contact lenses can correct nearsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism, and presbyopia. Many people who wear glasses can also successfully wear contacts.

Contacts can be made from a number of different materials and fall into either the soft or rigid category. Soft lenses are a good fit for many people. Rigid or hard lenses generally provide sharper vision, especially for people with high refractive errors or larger degrees of astigmatism. Hard lenses may take longer to get used to, but once the eyes are used to them both soft and hard lenses can be worn comfortably.

When do I replace my lenses?

Contact lenses can be worn on a variety of schedules. Some are designed to be removed daily, while others can be worn overnight. They can be replaced on a daily, weekly, bi-weekly, monthly, quarterly or yearly basis. You and our specialist will determine a schedule that works best for you.

Am I a candidate for contacts?

Some people may not be good candidates for contacts. Those who suffer from conditions such as dry eye, those who have frequent eye infections, severe allergies, or people who work in dusty and dirty environments, may not be ideal candidates. Our specialists will help you determine if contacts will successfully work for you.

With proper care and supervision contact lenses can be a safe and effective alternative to wearing eye glasses.
