Soft lenses
Soft lenses are the lens of choice for the majority of both lens wearers and contact lens practitioners alike. These lenses come in a multitude of designs, materials and lens replacement modalities.
Designs/Materials
Soft lenses can be used to correct nearsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism and even bifocal needs. There are many manufacturers lens types to choose from. Your Eye Care Professional will assist you in choosing the correct lens for you.
Lens Replacement Modality
The replacement modalities of soft lenses have many different options. Quarterly, monthly, biweekly and daily options are all available to contact lens wearers. The most popular options to most Eye Care Professionals are the monthly and daily replacement schedule. Discuss your options with your contact lens practitioner to choose the replacement modality which is best for you.
Colored lenses
While the demand for colored contacts has diminished, these lenses do still exist and as a matter of fact are becoming available in the latest, healthiest lens materials. If you have been wondering if colored lenses were right for you, visit Air Optix for a virtual trial.
Rigid gas permeable lenses or hybrid lenses
While prescribed less frequently than their soft lens counterparts, these lenses are invaluable to many contact lens wearers whose prescription and/or eye condition do not allow them to see properly with traditional soft lenses. Individuals with high amounts of astigmatism, corneal irregularities and keratoconus often have their vision and quality of life enhanced by wearing these specialty lenses. At ECVA, we have contact lens practitioners trained to fit lenses such as
Rose K and
SynergEyes Hybrid lenses to assist these individuals.
