CONTACTS
 Contact
lenses are worn by more than 30 million people in the
United States and each year their popularity continues
to grow. A large part of their appeal is cosmetic but
there are also advantages of better side vision, better
visual acuity in some instances, plus the advantage of
not having glasses that gets steamy from humidity or
distorted from perspiration. They are ideal for sports
and make it easier use optical instruments such as
microscopes and cameras.
 The
first step in contact lens wear is a thorough eye exam.
Next, proper fitting knowledge, lens selection, and
patient follow-up are essential. Often times since many
offices and optical chains fit only one or two types of
lenses, the patient that can't wear that particular lens
style is told "you can't wear contacts", when if proper
fitting techniques and a willingness to try various lens
designs was executed, successful lens wearer could be
achieved. Also, when the first lens tried is
unsuccessful, many times there is no desire on the part
of the doctor to try something different since more
lenses tried means more money invested. All too often
the patient is simply told "you can't wear contacts".
 Our
office takes pride in its 95% + contact lens success
rate, so if you are motivated to put up with some of
the inconveniences of contact lens wear, chances are you
can wear them. |
