Piedmont EyeCare Associates in Charlotte offers many options for contact lenses.
Piedmont EyeCare carries a variety of options for a customized fit. There are a number of reasons why you might prefer contact lenses to standard eyewear: a glasses-free look, hassle-free vision correction, wearing non-prescription sun wear and goggles, or the convenience of not having to worry about misplacing your glasses. If you have a high prescription or astigmatism, contact lenses may provide more enhanced vision correction than glasses. Today, you can even replace your bifocal glasses with multifocal contact lenses.
As contact lens technology continues to advance, our doctors may recommend exploring the latest materials and designs to provide the best combination of comfort, health, and vision quality. Daily disposable lenses—especially those made from breathable silicone hydrogel materials—are among the healthiest and most comfortable options available today. Because they are replaced every day, daily disposables minimize the buildup of deposits, reduce the risk of infection, and keep the eyes feeling fresh and irritation-free.
For patients with more complex vision needs, such as keratoconus or other corneal ectasias, our doctors may suggest specialty lens options. These include hybrid lenses, which combine the clarity of a rigid center with the comfort of a soft lens, or scleral lenses that vault over the cornea to provide exceptional stability and moisture retention.
During your visit, our doctors will review your lifestyle, visual demands, and eye health to help determine the ideal contact lens solution—whether that’s a convenient daily disposable lens or a customized specialty design for advanced corneal conditions.
Gas-Permeable (GP) Lenses
Made of moderately flexible plastics, GP lenses offer sharp vision and correct most vision problems. They are more durable than soft contact lenses and can be easier to handle and care for, but require a longer adaptation period and consistent wear to maintain adaptation.
Multifocal Lenses
In soft multifocal lenses, patients can enjoy clear vision at both distance and near—similar to the effect of bifocal glasses.
Color Contact Lenses
Enhance your eye color or even change it completely. Colored contact lenses are fun and come in a variety of colors for both light and dark eyes.
Silicone Hydrogels
Silicone hydrogels are soft contact lenses that have high oxygen permeability and are comparable to GP lenses.
Regardless of the type of contact lenses you wear, an annual eye exam is recommended to ensure the continued good health of your eyes. Schedule an appointment for an assessment and advice at Piedmont EyeCare Associates in Charlotte, and we will be in touch with you shortly.
