Eye Care in Skokie

Skokie contact lenses

Contact lenses hold a few advantages over eyeglasses, so if you're considering them, we at Visual Eyes want you to know about the different types and what benefits our Skokie contact lenses can offer you. We have a wide selection, from hard to soft lenses, and we're happy to help you make the choice that is the best for you, with expert guidance, advice, and recommendations. Your needs and preferences are as unique as you are, and that's why we take an individualized approach to your eyewear. No matter if you are nearsighted, farsighted, have astigmatism, presbyopia, or some combination of them, we have the contact lenses to let you achieve the best eyesight that you're capable of having.

The most popular contact lenses are soft. There are two reasons for this. First and foremost, they are the most comfortable to wear. In fact, in just the past few years, our Skokie contact lenses have become even easier to grow accustomed to and wear day in and day out. That's great news for you, giving you the opportunity to correct your vision without changing your outward appearance as you do with glasses. Contacts also give you a more natural type of vision and don't hinder your side-to-side (peripheral) vision at all. The second reason for the popularity of soft lenses is that they come in four varieties designed to fit any lifestyle. Daily wear can be left in up to 18 hours before taking them out to clean in preparation for the next day. Extended wear lenses can be worn overnight. Disposable contacts are worn just a single time before you discard them. And color-changing gives you the fun of trying on a totally new eye color, even if you don't need vision correction at all. You can wear them as fashion accessory.

Hard lenses, while taking a bit more getting used to, are often the best choice for severe nearsightedness or astigmatism. They also provide even sharper and clearer vision than soft lenses do.
