New to Contact Lenses?

More than three million people across the Canada enjoy the benefits of wearing contact lenses and it’s not hard to see why. Offering the freedom from wearing glasses, contact lenses look more natural, provide an unobstructed view, are unlikely to get lost and are not affected by fogging or rain.

Regardless of whether you are long or short sighted or even have astigmatism, almost everyone who needs eyesight correction can now wear contact lenses. There are also bifocal or multifocal options for those who need different lens powers for distance and close work or only have reading glasses.

With various different ways of wearing contact lenses, you will be able to find the perfect solution to all your eye care needs. In fact, most people find that once they are used to their new lenses, they are so convenient and easy to use that they forget they’re even wearing them. From daily, two-weekly, monthly and continuous wear lenses, there is something to suit all eyes and budgets.

Daily Disposables

With no solutions, no lens cases and no hassle required, it’s easy to see why daily disposables are one of the most popular choices amongst contact lens wearers. By simply throwing away your lenses at the end of the day and starting with a fresh pair the next, it really couldn’t be easier.

Many opticians believe that daily disposables are the healthiest contact lenses for your eyes and are also a great choice for those who are prone to allergies as they avoid the day-to-day build up of dust, pollen and other irritants. Daily disposables are especially convenient and economical for individuals who only want to wear their lenses part time and are ideal for sport, going out and travelling

Available in a wide range of prescriptions from standard myopia and torics for astigmatism through to verifocal and coloured dailies, daily disposables are well suited to most users. However, in the event that your eyes are not suited to daily disposables, two week and monthly disposables are an alternative option.

Keratoconus contact lens

Keratoconus is a progressive eye condition that generally begins in late adolescence or early adulthood. It involves the cornea getting too thin and bulging into a cone-like shape.

This can cause distorted and blurry vision, as the light rays are no longer focused into your eyes the way they should be. It can cause nearsightedness and irregular astigmatism.

Over the past several decades keratoconus lenses have evolved from blown glass lenses to rigid, hard, rigid gas permeable (RGP) lenses to several variations of soft and custom lenses. People who struggle with mild to moderate keratoconus can benefit from these specialized lenses. More severe forms of keratoconus may require a surgical or corneal cross-linking procedure.

Keratoconus lenses today include RGP lenses, soft lenses, piggy-back lenses, hybrid lenses, toric lenses, “vaulting” lenses, scleral lenses, and custom-made soft contact lenses.

Depending on the severity of keratoconus, shape of your eye, and personal details, one type of lens may be better suited than another. Your eye doctor can help you decide on the optimal treatment for keratoconus.

Monthly and daily soft lenses

If you wear contact lenses, the number of options available can be overwhelming. The biggest question: Daily or monthly lenses, and what is the difference?

How often you replace your contacts — daily or monthly — affects the initial purchase price, the design and materials used to make the contacts, and the cost and effort that go into their upkeep.

Once you have a better understanding of how each type of lens works, it’ll be easy to decide whether daily or monthly contacts fit your lifestyle.
