What are Custom-Made Contact Lenses?

Custom-made contact lenses are tailored to fit your unique eye shape and prescription. These lenses are created using detailed measurements of your eyes to ensure a comfortable and precise fit. They can correct various vision problems, including astigmatism, nearsightedness, and farsightedness. Custom-made contact lenses are often recommended for individuals that have difficulty finding standard contact lenses that fit comfortably and provide optimal vision correction.

How Can an Optometrist Help with Custom-Made Contact Lenses?

Our optometrist can help with custom contact lenses by taking detailed eye measurements and prescribing lenses tailored to your condition. These lenses can address issues such as astigmatism, dry eyes, or keratoconus. Working with our optometrist ensures that your contact lenses fit comfortably and provide clear vision while minimizing the risk of complications or discomfort. Whether you are a new to wearing contact lenses or have been using them for years, consulting with our optometrist can help you find the most suitable lenses and maintain good eye health.

How to Take Care of Custom-Made Contact Lenses

Taking care of custom-made contacts is vital for their longevity and avoiding eye infections. Below are some tips to help you take care of your customized contacts:

  • Always wash and clean your hands before handling your contacts. Use mild soap and dry your hands with a lint-free towel.
  • Clean your contacts daily using an approved cleaning solution. Do not use tap water or saliva to clean the lenses, as this can lead to eye infections.
  • Store your contacts in a clean and dry case that is specifically designed for contact lenses. Do not reuse old solutions and don’t mix new solutions with old or expired solutions.
  • Avoid wearing your contacts when swimming or in hot tubs. Water can damage the lenses and lead to eye infections.
  • If you experience discomfort or redness while wearing your contacts, remove them immediately and contact our eye doctor.

When these suggestions are followed, you can keep your custom-made contacts clean and safe. Always follow our optometrist’s instructions and schedule regular check-ups to keep your eye health in good shape.
