Q: Progressive lenses, Bi-Focals, what are the differences and how do I know what's best for me?
 

A: For the eyeglass wearers needing some type of multifocal providing prescriptions for
both near (reading 12” to 14”) and far (driving, movies, TV 15’ or more) progressive
power lenses have become the best choice for most people. Progressive power lenses
provide vision at all distances including arm’s length at which most of us use our
computers, tablets and smart phones.
A small percentage of people prefer bifocals but they do not have an arm’s length
prescription included in them proper for computer, tablets and smart phones.

CONTACT LENSES

Q: I'm unsure whether to get contact lenses or eyeglasses or both. What are the benefits?
 

A: Contact lenses generally provide better peripheral vision and free you of that behind
the glasses feeling. Today’s modern contacts can provide most patients comfort similar
to not wearing lenses at all and usually with vision equal to and sometimes better than
glasses.
All contact lens wearers need glasses for the times you may not be wearing contacts.
First thing in the morning, last thing at night. On a rare occasion an eye infection or
irritation may make it necessary to discontinue contacts for some period.

Q: Where do I start when considering contact lenses?
 

A: The first step in considering contact lenses is to have a complete eye exam.
With no contraindications to contacts a contact fitting appointment will be made to start
contacts fitting for you.
We offer exams and fitting by appointment right in our office.
