Our adept technicians provide step-by-step guidance on insertion and removal techniques, alleviating discomfort and boosting your confidence.
Dry Eye
Dry eye is a prevalent condition that often goes unnoticed. It develops when your eyes lack sufficient lubrication from tears. Recognizable dry eye symptoms encompass:
- Stinging and Burning
- Blurred Vision
- Scratchy or Gritty Feeling
- Redness or Irritation
Dryness can sometimes impede the comfort of contact lens wear. But worry not! We offer personalized solutions to address this issue. Our advanced technology effectively combats dryness; our doctors even provide specialized contacts to alleviate dry eye disease. Experience the relief and comfort you deserve.
Astigmatism
Rediscover clear, crisp vision by leaving behind the blur and discomfort of astigmatism. Allow our experienced doctors to conduct a thorough eye exam and determine if this common condition affects you. Astigmatism arises from the eye’s front surface irregularities, causing light rays to bend unevenly. This can lead to symptoms like:
- Blurry or Distorted Vision
- Eyestrain
- Headaches
- Discomfort or the Need to Squint
The great news is that contact lenses can often effectively correct mild to moderate astigmatism. Embrace the relief and clarity you’ve missed—schedule an appointment today.
