Contact Lenses are an excellent method of vision correction and a great addition to spectacle correction.  Contact lenses come in many different sizes and curvatures.  From daily disposable to monthly wear lenses, the options are endless.  The optometrist fits single vision, toric (correct astigmatism), multifocal and keratoconic contact lenses. Â
Contact lenses are a great choice for vision correction but should never completely replace glasses. Â It is important to give the eyes a few hours a day without contact lenses unless they are approved for extended wear.
Island Eyecare offers a wide variety of contact lenses which all have one thing in common: Â they provide excellent eye health and comfort. Â However, their responsibility and care should not be taken lightly as they are a medical device. Â Due to their comfort, it is easy to forget that they need to be cared for in a specific manner. Â Contact lens abuse such as overwear and sleeping in contacts which are not approved to do so can result in severe permanent damage to an individual's eye health. Â This is why it is important for contact lenses to always be fit and training to be provided by an eye care professional at your optometrist's office.
