Services

At My Eye Room, we are dedicated to the vision and eye health of our patients. The journey to better vision often involves the selection of the right contact lenses, a choice that can significantly impact your daily life. We recognize the importance of guiding our patients in making informed decisions about their vision correction options. Contact lenses offer a convenient and effective way to address refractive errors, but it’s crucial to choose the lenses that align perfectly with your unique needs and lifestyle.

Types of Contact Lenses

Our practice offers a comprehensive range of contact lenses tailored to your individual requirements. We understand that no two patients are the same, and that’s why we provide options such as daily disposable lenses, monthly and bi-weekly lenses, toric lenses for astigmatism, and multifocal lenses for presbyopia. 

Each type serves a distinct purpose, and our experienced team is here to help you understand the advantages of each. We believe in personalized care, which means we take the time to assess your vision needs and recommend the type of contact lenses that will provide the best comfort, clarity, and convenience.

Factors to Consider Before Choosing Contact Lenses

At My Eye Room, we go beyond just offering contact lenses; we provide guidance based on comprehensive assessments of your eye health, lifestyle, and visual requirements. Our experienced optometrists will consider factors such as your eye health, prescription strength, daily routine, allergies, and budget when recommending the right contact lenses for you.

We understand that the right choice isn’t just about vision correction; it’s also about ensuring your comfort, safety, and overall eye health. We take pride in our patient-centered approach, ensuring that your contact lenses perfectly align with your unique needs.

By addressing these considerations, we aim to empower our patients to make well-informed choices when it comes to their vision correction. Our commitment to your eye health means that we not only provide top-quality contact lenses but also the expert guidance you need to select the lenses that will keep your eyes healthy and your vision clear.

Consultation with an Eye Care Professional

We always emphasize the paramount importance of scheduling a comprehensive eye exam and consultation with our experienced eye care professionals. The foundation of choosing the right contact lenses lies in understanding your unique ocular health and visual requirements. Our optometrists are here to conduct thorough eye examinations, which include precise measurements of your refractive error, assessments of your eye health, and discussions about your lifestyle and preferences.

During this consultation, we take the time to get to know you as an individual, understanding any specific challenges you may face, such as dry eyes or allergies. This detailed assessment allows us to prescribe contact lenses that not only correct your vision but also prioritize your eye health and comfort. Our commitment to your well-being extends beyond just selling contact lenses; we’re dedicated to ensuring that your choice is medically sound and tailored to your precise needs.

Lens Material and Breathability

Contact lens materials have evolved significantly in recent years, offering a wide range of options to suit different needs. Likewise, we prioritize your comfort and eye health, which is why we provide an array of lens materials, including soft hydrogel lenses and advanced silicone hydrogel lenses. We understand that the material of your contact lenses plays a pivotal role in your overall comfort, as well as the health of your eyes.

Our experienced optometrists will discuss the advantages of each material and recommend the one that aligns best with your unique needs. Silicone hydrogel lenses, for example, offer superior oxygen permeability, promoting healthy eyes and reducing the risk of discomfort. By understanding your lifestyle and daily routine, we can determine which lens material will provide optimal comfort and clarity throughout your day.

Lens Care and Maintenance

Proper lens care and maintenance are essential for preserving your eye health and ensuring the longevity of your contact lenses. Our knowledgeable team provides comprehensive guidance on maintaining the hygiene and quality of your lenses. We offer expert advice on cleaning and disinfection routines, the selection of suitable storage solutions, and the importance of adhering to a strict wearing schedule.

Contact lens care may seem overwhelming to new wearers, but our aim is to simplify the process. We provide step-by-step instructions and answer any questions you may have, ensuring that you feel confident and empowered in caring for your lenses. 

Common Contact Lens Problems and Solutions

Contact lenses can offer exceptional vision correction and convenience, but occasionally, wearers may encounter challenges.

Discomfort and Dryness

Some wearers may experience occasional discomfort or dryness, especially in certain environmental conditions. This can often be resolved by using lubricating eye drops recommended by our optometrists. We’ll provide guidance on the best eye drops for your specific needs.

Allergies and Sensitivities

Allergic reactions or sensitivities to contact lens solutions can occur. If you suspect an allergy, contact us immediately. We can recommend hypoallergenic solutions or suggest alternative lens materials that may be more suitable for sensitive eyes.

Redness and Irritation

Persistent redness or irritation can signal underlying issues. We advise removing your lenses if you experience these symptoms and contacting us for a professional evaluation. It’s essential not to ignore these signs, as they could indicate more severe problems.

Torn or Damaged Lenses

Accidents can happen, leading to torn or damaged lenses. If this occurs, it’s crucial not to continue wearing the lens, as it could potentially harm your eye. Contact us to order replacement lenses promptly.

Deposits and Protein Buildup

Protein deposits can accumulate on contact lenses over time, leading to discomfort and reduced vision. Regular cleaning and disinfecting, as well as following our recommended lens care routine, can help prevent this issue.
