Contact Lenses Contact Lenses Contact lenses are part of our core services at Associates in Vision Care. We offer contacts for less than mail-order prices. We require annual contact lens exams and fitting re-evaluations before contacts are prescribed.
Contact lenses are medical devices, and as such, can be very dangerous if used inappropriately.
Unfortunately, the complications from inappropriate contact lens wear is becoming more prevalent. The complications range from mild corneal irritation, to severe bacterial ulceration. Ulcers are typically handled well with antibiotics, but the rise in resistant strains of bacteria carry a significant risk. Even though most ulcers are successfully treated, resulting scars can still impair vision. If you wear contacts, and ever experience pain, redness, or especially discharge in the morning, remove or discontinue your contact lens wear immediately and have your eyes assessed by your optometrist before continuing lens wear.
