Contact Lenses in Wellington, FL
Do you want to leave your eyeglasses behind occasionally — or even all the time — without compromising on great vision? You can do just that with the right pair of contact lenses. You just have to schedule a visit to Family Vision Center P.A. and have an eye exam performed by one of our Wellington FL eye doctors. Then, you can try out your selected contacts and confirm they work for you before putting in your order. Ready to get started? Here’s what you need to know about getting contact lenses.
Most Common Types of Contact Lenses
When you come to our vision center in Wellington, FL, for an eye exam and contact lens fitting, your eye doctor will help you find the best type of lenses for you. Your ideal contact lens type depends on your corrective lens prescription, overall eye health, and lifestyle.
The most common types of contact lenses include:
- Soft contact lenses
- Daily lenses
- Extended wear
- Hard gas-permeable lenses
Beyond those options, you can get toric lenses if you have astigmatism. These specialty lenses are built for your unique eye shape, so they properly refract light and bring your vision into focus.
If deemed necessary for your eye health needs, you can also work with your eye doctor to get scleral or ortho-k lenses fitted. Scleral lenses sit on the whites of your eyes to allow for a proper fit if you have an irregularly shaped corneas. Ortho-k lenses, on the other hand, correct your vision overnight, so you can enjoy vision in the 20/20 range all day without wearing any corrective lenses.
We Have All the Major Contact Lens Brands
When you don’t want to wear eyeglasses all the time, you can come to us for the top brands of contact lenses, such as:
- Air Optix
- Biofinity
- MiSight
- Acuvue Oasys
- SynergEyes
- Bausch + Lomb
There’s no one right brand of contact lenses for everyone, so you have to explore your options to see which ones suit you best. Your Wellington, FL, eye doctor can help you narrow down the options, and then let you try out your selections.
Why Get Eyeglasses Along with Contacts
Even if you prefer to wear contact lenses to correct your vision, there are times when eyeglasses are a better choice, such as:
- When your eyes are feeling dry or irritated
- After spending hours upon hours wearing contacts
- Upon taking your contacts out at the end of the day
A backup pair of eyeglasses are also helpful just in case you lose or damage a contact lens. Or if you simply run out of daily wear lenses before you get back to our Wellington, FL, eye care center to order more.
