What are contact lenses?

Contact lenses help improve your eyesight. These thin lenses are placed directly against the surface of your eyes. Contacts stay in place even when you run or jump. With contacts, it’s easy to stay active. There’s no need to fuss with glasses or prescription goggles.

Modern contacts fit securely and are virtually invisible. If you’re self-conscious about your glasses, contacts can boost your self-confidence. Many athletes and performers rely on contacts for safe, discreet vision correction.

Do I need contact lenses?

At Eyecrafters Optical, the team performs an in-depth eye exam. Your provider measures your vision and determines whether you need vision correction. Next, your provider helps you decide what type of vision correction is best for you. 

If you opt for contacts, Eyecrafters Optical provides a detailed prescription. Once you have your prescription, you can purchase your new contacts.

Keep in mind that you’ll need to change your contacts on a regular basis. You may need to change your contacts daily, weekly, or monthly.  The Eyecrafters Optical team lets you know how often you should change your contacts. 

They also explain how to keep your contacts clean. Proper hygiene helps protect your vision and prevents eye infections.

How do I choose the right type of contact lenses?

Choosing the right contacts can be a challenge. Eyecrafters Optical offers a wide range of contact lenses, so you’re sure to find the right fit. During your visit, the team helps you choose contacts that fit comfortably. 

Custom and colored contacts are also available. These contacts can transform your eye color or camouflage irregularities in your iris. If you’re interested in colored contacts, the Eyecrafters Optical team can help you explore your options.

Do I need any special follow-up care?

Once you select your new contacts, make sure to schedule your next eye exam. Annual eye exams help to protect your vision. Yearly visits also allow your provider to make adjustments to your prescription. 

Keeping your prescription current ensures that you receive the best vision correction. If you want to explore other forms of eye correction, your annual exam is also an ideal time to review your options.
