Contact Lenses

Contact lenses are small spherical pieces of plastic-like material shaped in a way to conform directly to your eye. They provide an artificial refracting surface to the human eye and shift the point of focus to land precisely on your retina. Some contacts not only correct vision problems but can also be used for cosmetic and therapeutic reasons. An exciting alternative to traditional contacts available at ClearView is the permanent implantable contact lenses, called ICL.

There have been many modifications and improvements to the original idea of contact lenses, conceptualized first by Leonardo Da Vinci. About 35 million people in the U.S. wear contact lenses today.

The Adverse Effects of Contact Lenses

Some people cannot comfortably wear contact lenses. This may be due to smoke, pollen or dust in the air. It can also come with having dry eyes and medical conditions like an overactive thyroid gland, severe diabetes or certain autoimmune diseases.

In some people, contact lenses may give rise to significant problems like eye infections. If you wear contacts, you should consult your ClearView Eye Clinic doctor without delay if you are experiencing eye pain, light sensitivity or hazy vision. Medicated eye drops may be necessary to help your eyes heal and return to normal.
