Your Source for Contact Lenses in the Midland, MI Area
If you are sick of wearing glasses or have just been told that you need a prescription, contact lenses are a great alternative. We offer several different types of contacts that include daily disposable, overnight, and more, depending on your preference.
If you are one of the millions of people who wants to ditch their glasses and does not want to undergo laser vision correction, we suggest that you schedule an appointment with us for new contact lenses.
Contacts have many benefits that include help with conditions such as keratoconus, improved peripheral vision, a smaller chance of being damaged, twarding off moisture (not fogging up), and more.
It will be a pleasure to help get your vision corrected and we look forward to seeing you at our office soon. Whether you need standard contacts or specialty contacts for prescription medical-based needs, we ask that you call at your earliest convenience to schedule an appointment!
Contact Lens Types
Bifocal contacts for astigmatism. These are advanced soft contacts that correct both presbyopia and astigmatism, so you can remain glasses-free after age 40 even if you have astigmatism.
Contacts for dry eyes. Are your contacts uncomfortably dry? Certain soft contact lenses are specially made to reduce the risk of contact lens-related dry eye symptoms.
Colored lenses. Many of the types of lenses described above also come in colors that can enhance the natural color of your eyes — that is, make your green eyes even greener, for example. Other colored lenses can totally change the color of your eyes, as in from brown to blue.
Special-effect lenses. Also called theatrical, novelty, or costume lenses, special-effect contacts take coloration one step further to make you look like a cat, a vampire, or another alter-ego of your choice.
Prosthetic lenses. Colored contact lenses also can be used for more medically oriented purposes. Opaque soft lenses called prosthetic contacts can be custom-designed for an eye that has been disfigured by injury or disease to mask the disfigurement and match the appearance of the other, unaffected eye.
Custom lenses. If conventional contact lenses don't seem to work for you, you might be a candidate for custom contact lenses that are made-to-order for your individual eye shape and visual needs.
UV-inhibiting lenses. Some soft contact lenses help protect your eyes from the sun's ultraviolet rays that can cause cataracts and other eye problems. But because contacts don't cover your entire eye, you still should wear UV-blocking sunglasses outdoors for the best protection from the sun.
Scleral lenses. Large-diameter gas permeable lenses called scleral contacts are specially designed to treat keratoconus and other corneal irregularities, as well as presbyopia.
Myopia control contacts. Special contact lenses are being developed to slow or stop the progression of nearsightedness in children. [More about myopia control.]
