Which Contact Lenses Are Right For Me?

Choosing Contact Lenses in Sandy Springs

A variety of factors can play into selecting contact lenses in Sandy Springs. A lot will depend on your vision, including not only your prescription, but also, any additional conditions that might impact your eyesight. Comfort and even aesthetics can also be considered when choosing contact lenses.

While rigid construction once dominated, most people now wear soft models, which are comfortable and easy to use. This represents only the beginning of the selection process, however. From there, you will need to consider diagnosed conditions and personal preferences, a few of which are highlighted below:

Astigmatism

Astigmatism occurs when the cornea holds an unusual shape. This condition can cause blurred vision if not corrected by a specific type of lens. In most cases, patients with astigmatism will be advised to invest in toric lenses, which feature thick sections near the bottom to ensure consistent placement. These specialized lenses require a prescription from an optometry specialist, who can diagnose astigmatism.

Dry Eyes

While anybody can suffer dry eyes while wearing contact lenses, certain people are more susceptible to this uncomfortable sensation. In some cases, dry eyes become frustrating enough to prompt users to give up on contacts altogether. Thankfully, specialized contact lenses are available to address this common issue. Featuring advanced water gradient technology, these models provide a much-needed cushion of moisture to prevent dry eyes.

Daily Contact Lenses

While contact lenses are convenient in general, some people dread the daily process of cleaning and storing them. This does not take long, but it's also necessary when using daily contact lenses. As their name suggests, they allow users to wear a new pair every day — and dispose of them as needed. Other people prefer weekly and bi-weekly contacts.

Whether your main objective involves comfort or convenience, you should have no trouble finding Sandy Springs contact lenses that allow you to look and feel your best. Do not hesitate to ask your optometrist for advice as you seek contact lenses that meet your unique needs.
