Contact Lenses

Contact Lenses
Soft contact lens technology is rapidly evolving with new products being released several times a year. Pretty much all prescriptions are available in contact lenses these days, however, an experienced practitioner is required to present suitable options to the patient.
New technologies aim to improve both comfort and vision through contact lenses. Patients are often surprised when I tell them that contact lenses are actually suitable for their prescriptions.
