About Contact Lenses
With all the latest advancements in contact lens technology, the majority of refractive errors such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism and presbyopia can be corrected with contact lenses.
The vast majority of people requiring vision correction can wear contact lenses without experiencing any problems as science provides us with greater options in contact lens wear. It is important to discuss the matter with your optometrist. Your overall vision problems, the health of your eyes, and your specific visual needs and motivations will be considered.
Optometrists and opticians have access to a wide variety of lenses through all the major contact lens suppliers. For more information see the contact lens supplier websites; Bausch & Lomb, Coopervison, Johnson & Johnson (Acuvue).

Biweekly lenses are worn daily and discarded and replaced after two weeks of use. On lens removal they must be cleaned and disinfected. These lenses are not designed or intended for overnight wear.
