Contact lenses are fit for many reasons including correcting nearsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism, and presbyopia. They are also used for therapeutic purposes such as after refractive surgery or for keratoconus. Athletes, young patients who are not yet ready for refractive surgery, and patients who need bifocals but do not wish to wear glasses can also benefit from wearing contact lenses. In many of these patients, vision is actually better in contact lenses rather than glasses / spectacles. Below are several types of contacts we recommend and use daily on our special fit patients.
