YOUR VISION, OUR PRIORITY

Our Most Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

There's a lot to know about contact lenses, so we've answered the most frequently asked questions on this page. You can read all of them or click only on the ones you particularly want to know about:

Who can wear contact lenses?

Most people can. Whether you're nearsighted or farsighted, older or younger, you can probably wear some type of contact lens. Contact lenses can correct your astigmatism, and multifocal contacts can help those with presbyopia to have crisp near, intermediate, and distance vision.
Are contacts good for my eyes? Can they damage my cornea?

Contact lenses have proven to be a healthy vision option for millions of people. But only your eye care professional can determine if they are healthy for you. If you follow all prescribed steps for inserting, removing, and caring for them, contact lenses will continue to be safe and effective. You also need to see your eye care professional regularly to ensure long-term corneal health.
At what age can contact lens wear begin?

As soon as the need for vision correction is identified, contact lenses are a viable option. In fact, they have frequently been used in premature infants, who sometimes have vision problems. With proper care and lens maintenance, infants, young children, teens, and adults of all ages can wear contacts successfully.
Should I wear contact lenses while playing sports?

Sports vision doctors agree that contact lenses are the best vision correction option for athletes. They can enhance visual skills like depth perception, peripheral awareness, and eye-hand/eye-foot coordination.

Unlike glasses, contacts offer athletes a competitive advantage because they stay in place under dynamic conditions, provide a wider vision field, and eliminate the risk of glasses-related injuries. Contact lenses also make it easy to wear protective goggles.
