Contact Lenses - a Great Alternative to Eyeglasses

February 4, 2021

It’s pretty much a given that we all see things differently -- conceptually and biologically! Our eyes are as unique as we are – and like other parts of the body, they are subject to a host of conditions that can compromise our vision. Luckily, contact lenses have proven to be a blessing for those with poor eyesight. Even so, they must be specially fitted for your particular prescription and the curvature of your eyes. At the office of Drs. Chandler & Davis, our trained optometrists will examine your eyes for conditions that may be affecting them and causing a decrease in vision. After careful diagnosis, our team will determine the specific contact lenses for your needs, and explain the options most appropriate for you.

 
Contact lenses can allow you to see just like eyeglass lenses — only they are worn directly on the surface of the eye. Both types of corrective lenses work by altering the light rays to focus them on the retina properly to create a clear image. Contacts provide a safe and effective way to correct vision caused by these common eye conditions and others:
  • nearsightedness (myopia)
  • farsightedness (hyperopia)
  • distorted vision (astigmatism)
  • presbyopia (need for bifocals)

At the optometry office of Drs. Chandler & Davis, your good vision is our priority. Even for the most difficult, hard-to-fit eyes, contacts are available in many sizes, and come in a variety of materials. You can be assured that our skilled eye doctors have years of experience in this area, and can prescribe the contact lenses best suited for the comfort of your eyes. Even if you have had problems with contact lenses you’ve worn before, we will be happy to give you a comprehensive exam and fitting so that your new contacts will be completely satisfactory.
