Types of Contacts and Choosing Contacts vs. Glasses
The types of contact lenses and the materials used have improved significantly since contacts came about. Early contacts were very hard and easily irritated wearers’ eyes. Now, there are several options for correcting vision besides eyeglasses (however much we appreciate our trusty and trendy specs!) plus one or two types of contact lenses. Ophthalmologists have even expanded to surgical options like LASIK.
Once you’ve considered your options, and decided you want to try contacts, let Dr. Bingham know so that he can tailor your eye exam toward contact lens use. There are many brands and models of contact lenses which are specific to the wearer’s eye condition and lifestyle. Dr. Bingham can discuss these options with you in order to issue a contact lens prescription that will work best for you. you can move forward with our optician to discuss specific types of contacts. Besides choosing from many brand names--which may depend on your vision insurance plan or your budget (We can work with both!)--there are other elements that determine your choice.
Contact Lens Options include:
Soft Contact Lenses (Most Commonly Used Variety)
- Extended Wear Contacts
- Daily Disposable Soft Contact Lenses
- Bi-weekly (14 Day) Disposable Contacts
- Monthly (30 Day) Disposable Contacts
All of these factors can be discussed with our optician after your eye exam and we’re confident we can help you find what you need at a great price. We work with most common vision insurance companies and also offer free, in-house vision plans so we can offer affordable eye care without insurance.
