Contacts
Contact lenses can be used to treat an array of vision issues, including farsightedness, nearsightedness, and astigmatism.
First, a comprehensive eye exam will be able to determine if contact lenses are an appropriate choice for an individual based on their eye health and vision needs. When contact lenses can be used for vision correction, it remains for the patient to decide if they feel comfortable with the idea of putting the lenses in and removing them, and if they can be dedicated to a routine of care that is necessary to keep lenses in good shape and to avoid potentially dangerous eye infections and other issues that can arise when lenses are not properly cared for. During the eye exam appointment, the pros and cons of contact lenses should be thoroughly discussed to aid in the decision-making process.
