Contact
Lenses
Major
advances in contact lens design mean that
almost everyone can wear contact lenses successfully
nowadays and our practice specialises in fitting
people who have been told they "can't
wear contact lenses".
Contact
lenses are one of the miracles of modern technology.
New lens designs and materials, as well as
advanced care products, now make contact lenses easier and more comfortable to wear than ever
before.
They offer freedom from wearing glasses in
daily life, when playing sport, or for important
social occasions, and can bring particular
benefits for individuals with stronger vision
correction requirements.
At
cameronoptometry we don't just sell
contact lenses: we provide a comprehensive
contact lens service supplying monthly disposable lenses,
weekly, daily, silicon hydrogels, low and
high water content, large and small diameter,
custom made or stock, coloured, tinted or
hand painted, rigid gas permeable, toric,
specialist lenses for medical conditions and
many others.
People
with astigmatism, a condition in which the
eye is irregularly shaped causing distorted
vision, were restricted to wearing glasses,
but today's 'toric' contact lenses can provide
clear vision.
Presbyopia, the natural ageing of the eye's
lens which progressively affects everyone
over the age of about 40, makes it difficult
to shift focus between near and distant objects.
This condition can also be corrected with
bifocal contact lenses which provide clear
distance and near vision.
At first hearing, the alternative to bifocals,
monovision, sounds like a strange option.
It involves committing one eye to distance
vision and the other to reading. In about 75% of
cases this gives an excellent visual result
at all distances and complete freedom from
glasses.
