Contact Lens |
|
|
Contact lenses are worn by millions of Americans with refractive abnormalities such as myopia (nearsightedness), astigmatism (uneven focusing of light), hyperopia (farsightedness) and now presbyopia, which is the result of the hardening of the lens. In addition, rare conditions such as keratoconus (cone-shaped cornea) are better-addressed with contact lenses than with glasses. Dr. Cynthia H. Jun at the Center for Total Eye Care is highly trained and experienced with all types of contact lenses.
How do contact lenses work?
Each contact lens is made according to a prescription to focus light on the retina of your eye, similar to what the lenses in eyeglasses do. However, contact lenses correct your entire field of vision because all images reaching the eyes pass through the lenses.
The many types of contact lenses.
Dr. Jun will prescribe the most appropriate contact lenses based on your prescription and individual needs. She offers the full spectrum of contact lenses:
Rigid Gas-permeable Lenses: These lenses float in the tear fluid, allowing more oxygen to reach the cornea when you blink.
Soft Lenses: Made from extremely soft plastic, soft lenses offer the most options, including daily disposable lenses and frequent replacement lenses .
Specialty Contact Lens
Toric lenses - Correct astigmatism.
Bifocal lenses - Correct both distant and near vision.
Colored lenses - May enhance or change the color of your eyes.
Aphakic lenses - For people who have had cataracts removed without lens implants.
Keratoconic lenses - These specialized lenses are for people with keratoconus.
Post-refractive surgery lenses - To enhance vision after refractive surgery.
