Special contact lenses for every eye and every need! The future of good vision?

Advanced contact lenses are an incredible optometry tool that allows us to correct vision problems. It involves fitting contact lenses specifically for you. A thorough, individualized study of each case is important to provide you with the best solution, because each pair of eyes is unique!

We use a detailed "map" of your cornea, a corneal topography, and with this information we know exactly what your contact lenses should be like so they fit you perfectly.

Thus, we can adapt contact lenses in many cases:

• If you have tired eyes and have difficulty seeing up close.
• For children , sometimes contact lenses are a great solution!
• Ortho-K , those special contact lenses that you wear at night to see well during the day without glasses.
• And also for eyes that are a little different, like those that have:

or Keratoconus (a special form of swelling of the front part of the eye).
o Pellucid marginal degeneration (another different form of the front part of the eye).
o Problems after having laser eye surgery.
o Astigmatisms that are very strong or a little strange.
o And more things!

Contact lenses are a great way to ditch the need for glasses if you don't like them or find them uncomfortable for certain activities. There are so many different materials and designs, allowing almost anyone to wear them. Plus, there are a wide variety of replacement and wear options to suit your lifestyle and needs at any given time. Whether you're just playing sports or wearing them every day, there are contact lenses for everything!

But contact lenses aren't just useful for improving vision if you have myopia or astigmatism. They're also a treatment option for strabismus (when your eyes don't look in the same direction), lazy eye (amblyopia), to help control myopia in children, and when there's a significant difference in prescription between the two eyes (anisometropia)! Why are they good for these cases? Because of their optical characteristics and how they affect our visual function!

Contact lenses give us a lot of benefits:

• How to have a wider field of vision (you see better on the sides)
• The "prism" effect that we sometimes notice with prescription glasses is reduced
• The size of the image that reaches our retina is closer to reality than without glasses! It's like seeing the world more naturally!
• In addition to the quality of life that they give us by not having to wear glasses, greater freedom of movement, in sports and other activities

Contact lenses are a fantastic tool for protecting our vision; they can be worn at any age. However, always under the supervision of a specialized professional. They will provide you with a personalized fit and advise you on when to have regular checkups to protect your eye health. With proper follow-up, contact lenses are an effective and safe treatment for almost anyone.

Specialty contact lens types:

• Ortho-K , these special contact lenses you wear at night to help you see clearly during the day without glasses. They are specialized contact lenses that mold to the cornea overnight.
• Soft Myopia Control Lenses. Specially designed lenses that work by reducing the myopic blur that these contact lenses produce in the periphery of the retina.
• Progressive Contact Lenses, multifocal lenses within the lens, allow for distance, intermediate, and near vision. Ideal for patients with presbyopia.
• Special lenses for keratoconus . In these cases, the cornea weakens and thins, producing irregular astigmatism and greatly interfering with vision. Contact lenses for these patients are often the only solution for vision.
• Scleral lenses, for patients with severe dry eye problems, patients with problems after refractive surgery, corneal transplants

Always a personalized fit, optimized for you, designed for you!

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) about Advanced Contact Lenses and Specialty Contact Lenses

1. What is contact lens therapy? It is the branch of optometry that specializes in fitting contact lenses to correct vision problems such as myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism, and presbyopia.
2. What vision problems can contact lenses be used for? They can be used to correct nearsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism, and presbyopia. They are also a treatment option for strabismus, lazy eye (amblyopia), and anisometropia (a difference in eye prescription), as well as more severe eye health problems such as keratoconus, severe dry eye, and others.
3. What benefits do contact lenses offer compared to glasses? They offer a wider field of vision, reduce the prismatic effect, provide a more natural retinal image size, have aesthetic benefits, and are ideal for sports activities.
4. At what age can contact lenses be started? They can be used at any age, even in children, as long as they are supervised by a specialized professional who will provide personalized fittings and schedule regular checkups.
5. Are contact lenses safe for children? Yes, they are safe as long as the professional's instructions regarding hygiene, use, and regular checkups are followed.
6. What is anisometropia and how can contact lenses help in these cases? Anisometropia is a significant difference in prescription between the two eyes. Contact lenses can provide better vision and reduce the problems associated with this condition compared to glasses.
7. Can contact lenses help control myopia in children? Yes, specialty contact lenses, such as orthokeratology (Ortho-K) contact lenses and peripheral defocus soft contact lenses, have been shown to be effective in controlling the progression of myopia in children.
8. Can contact lenses correct strabismus (crossed eyes)? While contact lenses can correct the refractive error associated with strabismus, they are not a direct treatment for eye alignment. In many cases, vision therapy is necessary.
9. What type of care do contact lenses require? They require strict hygiene, the use of appropriate cleaning and disinfection solutions, and following the wear and replacement guidelines recommended by your eye care professional to avoid complications and protect eye health.
10. What should I do if I'm interested in using contact lenses? The first step is to see an optometrist specializing in contact lenses for a complete evaluation of your eyes and to determine which type of contact lenses are best suited to your needs and lifestyle.
