Disposable Current technology has enabled many manufacturers to offer a variety of soft disposable contacts in different materials, sizes and shapes at affordable prices. This makes it much easier to fit even more patients successfully in the healthiest type of soft contact lenses available. From lenses that last a few months, to lenses that you can replace every day, our doctors can help you determine the best type of contact lens for your eyes. Although RGPs have been around for years, they remain the standard in contact lenses as far as visual acuity, longevity, handling, and ocular health. And with technology constantly improving with these types of lenses as well, more people are able to enjoy the benefits of RGPs than ever.
Most people have some degree of astigmatism.
This is when the front of the eye is not exactly spherical, so the light passing through it gets separated into two focal points. Although correcting for this with spectacles is quite simple, if your astigmatism is great enough, a simple spherical contact lens may not do the trick. A thorough examination of your eyes will enable one of our doctors to help you determine the best contact lens to correct your vision. Toric contact lenses are specially designed to correct for the astigmatism that a spherical contact lens can't. These are available in soft conventional, rigid, and even soft disposable materials.
