Contact lenses are not one-size-fits-all. Your prescription, eye health, comfort, and lifestyle all play a role in finding the right lenses for you.

Whether you are new to contact lenses or experiencing dryness, discomfort, or blurry vision with your current lenses, Dr. Fruchtman can evaluate your needs and discuss available options.

How Do Contact Lenses Work?
Contact lenses are smaller prescription lenses (instead of larger glass lenses) that come in “contact” with the eye. They are designed to correct refractive errors and maintain ocular health.

Contact lenses work well to correct the following visual problems:

  • Myopia
  • Hyperopia
  • Astigmatism
  • Presbyopia
  • Nearsightedness
  • Farsightedness
Contact lenses essentially act as your eye, and their placement results in clear vision. Contact lenses rest on the surface of your cornea, the clear outer surface of your eye.

With some small adjustments, contact lenses are very comfortable to wear for most patients. It may take a little getting used to, but we find that most patients adjust quickly within only a few days of wearing them.

Your eye provides natural lubrication for your contact lenses. As you blink, your eyelids glide over the surface of the contact lenses and cause them to move slightly, which provides gentle lubrication during wear.
