Contact Lenses

Your Source for Prescription Contact Lenses

Contact lenses correct your vision and are easy to wear. Choosing the contact lenses that are right for you depends on your vision and comfort. There are many types of contacts to suit almost anyone. Types of contact lenses include:

• Vistakon
• Alcon
• CooperVision
• Bausch & Lomb

We also carry the latest toric & multifocal designs for vision. These are the next generation of materials for comfort, safety & colors.

Soft Contact Lenses

The most frequently prescribed due to their tremendous comfort. Soft contacts are now available for patients with astigmatism and dry eyes and can even change the color of your eyes. Soft contact lenses include:

• Daily Wear: can be worn up to 12 hours but must be removed and cleaned at night
• Extended Wear: can be worn on a more flexible schedule than daily wear
• Disposable: meant to be worn for a short time and then discarded
• Color-Changing: can change the color of your eyes even if vision correction is not needed

Hard Contact Lenses

Also called rigid or gas-permeable lenses, gas-permeable and high lenses offer sharper vision and can correct nearsightedness or astigmatism. However, hard contact lenses take longer to adjust to than soft contact lenses.

At Evanston Eye Care, we offer all types and brands of contact lenses, specifically fitted for each individual's needs. We also offer multifocal lenses for first-time wearers. It is very important that your lenses are fitted correctly based on your prescription, eye shape and specific needs.
