Why Use Contact Lenses?

Downtown Eyes offers several different reliable vision correction options. In addition to our large selection of designer eyeglasses, we also have a wide range of high-quality contact lenses. Read on as your reliable eye doctor discuss the features that make contact lenses a great vision correction option:

Available in Different Styles to Suit Your needs

There are three general categories of contact lenses to suit the needs of different people: rigid, soft, and gas-permeable. Rigid contact lenses are made of a firm material that provides excellent visual clarity. Soft lenses, on the other hand, put a premium on giving you enhanced visual comfort, while gas-permeable lenses allow ample oxygen to enter your eyes for your better visual health.

Recommended Replacement Schedule Reduces Risk of Infection

Another great feature of contact lenses is that they have recommended wearing frequencies that helps prevent lens wear–induced infection. Daily-wear lenses are meant to be used only once and then discarded, while planned replacement lenses can be worn repeatedly for a period of time before they need to be replaced.

Enhanced Convenience

Contact lenses are directly applied on the surface of your eye—your cornea—letting you experience a feeling of normalcy. They also provide wider visual coverage than eyeglasses, which is why many athletes and people with active lifestyles prefer them. You won’t have to worry about fog, water splashes, or glare restricting your vision either when you wear contacts.
