Evaluation
Prior to prescribing contact lenses, our doctors determine what level of vision correction you require. Refractive error (commonly known as nearsightedness, farsightedness, or astigmatism depending on the error) is evaluated by measuring how the eyes focus when a series of different lenses are placed in front of them. To schedule an appointment for a vision evaluation with our Duluth optometrist, call today.
Corrective Lenses
After determining the level of refractive error, our doctors work with you to determine whether contact lenses or glasses are best for your lifestyle. If you suffer from certain conditions, such as dry eye or allergies, glasses may be the most comfortable corrective solution. Contact lenses are available in either soft or rigid gas permeable form. Contact lenses need to be changed daily, weekly, bi-weekly, monthly or annually; depending on what type of lens is the best fit for you. Specialized contact lenses are also available for patients with more complicated ocular conditions. Call us at any of our locations if you are interested in learning if contact lenses are a good fit for you.
