CONTACT
LENSES
Below you will find information about contact
lenses. At Clear View Eye Clinic, we feel you should be
educated on these options so that you can take a more active
role in your eyecare. Contact lenses are medical devices
and should be treated as such.
In recent years, there's been so much commercial
hype that they're often put in the same category as a six-pack
of soda. That's a mistake. Remember that contact lenses
still require a prescription, and they should be fitted
and handled with the same care that goes into any other
medical prescription.
A proper fitting of your new contact lenses
will confirm that your vision has been corrected accurately,
while also assuring that your eyes won't be damaged by wearing
the devices. Risks are inherent in any treatment, but by
following your PRESCRIBED guidelines outlined by
your optometrist, these risks can be greatly reduced. Note:
EVERYONE should read the lens care section.
