The contact-lens industry is booming with innovation and is moving faster anyone could have imagined. Amazingly, contact lenses that were considered premium only five years ago, have left the market and been replaced by newer models and upgrades.

The most recently developed premium contact lenses are made of silicone, which allows more oxygen to penetrate the lens and the cornea. This advancement has caused lenses to not only last longer, but to also sustain the health of your eyes. Many patients who could not tolerate the comfort of contact lenses are once again trying them with new-found success.

With an excellent contact lens exam including a selection of the best contact lens for your eyes, even a person with dry eyes, or astigmatism can comfortably be fit. Additionally, newer bifocal contacts have emerged that are giving patients back the lost ability to shift their focus between near and distant objects (Presbyopia).

For first time contact lens wearers Dr. Belgorod will provide you with one on one personalized contact lens instruction and care.

Yearly contact lens eye examination

Since contact lenses actually rest on the surface of the eye, we will provide a series of tests yearly to determine your eye health and evaluate your vision correction. This is important to maintain your best possible eye health and visual acuity.

Recommended six month corneal health checks

We recommend a six month check to pick up early signs of problems that you may not notice. This provides us with the opportunity to make adjustments in lens design, fit, or cleaning regimen when necessary to keep you comfortable and seeing your best.
