These days, contact lenses are available for nearly any patient — even for people with complex conditions. With the help of a professional, you can find contact lenses that are perfect for your eyes and lifestyle.
Eyemart Express can help you find the best contact lenses for your unique vision needs. We partner with reputable eye doctors who perform comprehensive contact lens eye exams, allowing us to schedule a convenient and comprehensive exam for you.
Why You Need a Contact Lens Prescription
If you wear glasses and want to get contact lenses, you may have assumed that you can use your current glasses prescription for contact lenses. However, these two prescriptions are different.
While glasses sit on your nose, at a short distance from your eyes, contact lenses sit directly on the surface of your eye. This difference means you'll need a prescription specifically for contact lenses.
A contact lens eye doctor can use your glasses prescription as a starting point but will ultimately perform a thorough eye exam to prescribe the best product for optimal vision correction. Seeing a professional for a full consultation means you can potentially side-step symptoms associated with using the wrong contact lenses, such as eye fatigue, blurry vision, headache and eye pain.
The Benefits of Contact Lenses
If you're wondering if contact lenses are for you, consider these advantages:
- They offer excellent peripheral vision. Contact lenses give you full access to your field of vision, including your peripheral vision.
- They're suitable for people on the go: Contact lenses don't get misty, and you don't need to push them up or reposition them, which makes them great for people who love playing sports and being active.
- They accommodate various eye conditions: New technologies allow people with unique vision challenges to see clearly with contact lenses. For example, contact lenses are available for people with nearsightedness (myopia), farsightedness (hyperopia or hypermetropia) and astigmatism.
The Benefits of In-Store Contact Lenses
