Contact Lenses Service
Advanced contact lens solutions for clear vision and comfortable eye care.
Contact lenses are thin, curved plastic disks designed to cover the cornea; the clear front covering of the eye. Contact lenses provide a safe and effective way to correct vision when used with care and proper supervision. They can offer a good alternative to eyeglasses depending on your eyes and lifestyle.
Contact lenses typically provide better vision than spectacles for some visual conditions such as severe short-sightedness (myopia), long-sightedness (hyperopia), astigmatism, corneal distortion, or after cataract removal (aphakia).
Advantages of Contact Lenses
- Contact lenses provide a wider field of vision as side vision is not blocked by spectacle frames.
- Contact lenses do not fog up with temperature changes or perspiration.
- Many people choose contact lenses for cosmetic reasons and improved appearance.
- Sports players often find contact lenses more convenient than spectacles.
- Contact lenses can provide a more natural eye-contact experience.
Types of Contact Lenses
Daily-wear Soft Lenses
Daily-wear soft lenses are comfortable and your eyes adjust quickly. These lenses can be worn during physical activities and sports. They must be removed, cleaned and stored every day.
Disposable Contact Lenses
Disposable contact lenses are replaced regularly, usually daily, bi-weekly or monthly. Frequent replacement reduces deposits of proteins and oils and provides healthier lens wear.
Leave-in (Extended Wear) Contact Lenses
Extended wear lenses are designed for continuous wear up to 30 days and nights depending on professional advice.
Toric Contact Lenses
Toric lenses are designed for astigmatism correction and provide stable, clear vision by maintaining proper positioning on the eye.
Rigid Gas Permeable Contact Lenses
These lenses provide excellent clarity of vision especially in irregular astigmatism conditions such as keratoconus.
Specialty Contact Lenses
Rose K Lens
Rose K lenses are specially designed for keratoconus patients. Their unique geometry provides better fitting comfort and improved vision.
Scleral Contact Lenses
Scleral lenses rest on the sclera and create a tear-filled space over the cornea. They are useful for various corneal conditions where regular contact lenses may not provide satisfactory results.
