Want the latest thing in contact lenses?

We are the ones to see for the latest developments in the contact lens industry. We strive to bring you the newest lens technology as soon as it is available.

Daily Disposable Color Contacts Now Available-Ciba recently unveiled a new daily disposable lens in their Focus Daily lens material. The lens is currently available in powers for nearsightedness up to -6.00 in colorblends pure hazel, blue, green, and gray. This is a great option for someone who wants to wear a color only occasionally or likes to change their color often.

Silicone Hydrogel Contact Lenses-This new type of soft lens material is creating a lot of excitement. Unlike the soft contact lens materials first introduced in the 1970's for daily wear, and then for extended wear in 1981, today's new contact lens materials allow anywhere from three to six times as much oxygen to enter the cornea. This leads to fewer contact lens complications and is much healthier than standard contact lens materials. Lenses made of this revolutionary material include:

  •  Acuvue Advance
  • Acuvue Advance for Astigmatism
  • Acuvue Oasys
  • Biofinity
  • Focus Night and Day
  • O2 Optix
  • O2 Optix Toric
  • Pure Vision
  • Pure Vision Multifocal
  • Pure Vision Toric   

Contact Lenses For Dry Eye-Have you stopped wearing contact lenses because your eyes are just too dry?  Do you find yourself constantly reaching for that bottle of rewetting drops? Contact lens companies have been working hard to develop new lens materials that not only allow more oxygen to reach the eye, but also dry out less easily. We have been having great success in getting many of our dry eye patients back into lenses again, or refitting our current contact lens patients into more comfortable lenses. New lenses for dry eyes include:

  • Acuvue Advance
  • Acuvue Oasys
  • Biofinity
  • Focus Dailies with AquaRelease
  • Focus Night and Day
  • O2 Optix
  • Proclear Compatibles
