While eyeglasses are the most common choice for correcting refractive vision errors, contacts also offer a way to improve your vision with more convenience. Our eye doctor at Springfield Opticians in Chadds Ford, Holmes, and Springfield, PA, conducts eye exams and offers contact lens fittings to determine if contacts best suit your eyecare needs. Schedule an appointment with our optometrist to learn more about contacts.
How Do Contact Lenses Work?
Contacts redirect light as it enters your eyes. Contacts enable light to pass through the lenses directly on your eyes instead of having light come through eyeglass lenses. Contacts provide you with a way to see clearly without having to worry about wearing eyeglasses. Contacts are a great choice if you are tired of eyeglasses or prefer your appearance without eyeglasses.
Reasons to Choose Contacts
Contacts offer an alternative to glasses for correcting refractive errors like nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. Our optometrist can prescribe contact lenses to correct blurry vision and help you see objects up close or far away. You may need special lenses if you have astigmatism because of the irregular shape of your eyes. Our optometrist can determine if toric or scleral contacts are best suited for your condition.
Contacts are also available for those who have dry eye symptoms. Dry eyes can make wearing standard contact lenses painful or impossible. Our optometrist can help you find contact lenses that are comfortable to wear while dealing with dry eye symptoms.
Contact Lens Exams and Fittings
You must get a contact lens exam to know which contact lenses best suit your vision needs. We can examine your eyes to determine a prescription for your contact lenses. A contact lens exam helps us prescribe contact lenses tailored toward correcting your blurry vision, dry eye, or other eye and vision conditions you may have.
Contact lens fittings ensure your contact lenses fit correctly and comfortably. Our optometrist uses fittings to check if your contacts fit as they should and offer you better vision. Contacts cannot prevent your vision from worsening, but they allow you to see clearly until your prescription changes.
