At Global Eyes Optical we strive to meet all of your eye and vision care needs. After a comprehensive eye and vision evaluation, our team will discuss the variety of contact lens options with you to select the type that best fits your vision needs and lifestyle. If you suffer from dry eye, allergies, or recurring eye infections, speak with our optometrist to determine whether contact lenses are right for you.
Evaluation
Prior to prescribing contact lenses, the optometrist determines 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.
Corrective Lenses
After determining the level of refractive error, our team works 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 hard lenses. Contact lenses need to be changed daily, bi-weekly, or monthly, depending on what type of lens you select. Specialized contact lenses, such as scleral contact lenses, are also available for patients with special eye conditions. Call us at 780-8287(Freeport) or 746-3937 (Aranguez) if you are interested in learning if contact lenses are a good fit for you.
Cosmetic Lenses
Advances in contact lens technology have created great options for cosmetic lenses. Cosmetic lenses are also available to transform your eye color. Give us a call and speak to our knowledgeable staff if you are interested in modifying or changing your eye color with contact lenses.
