If you are thinking about getting contact lenses for the first time, you may be surprised to learn about all the different contact lens options available. At Vista Vision Optical, patients can see our expert optometrist, Dr. David Nathanson, for a prescription for
contact lenses in Bushwick.
During a contact lens exam, our optometrist will check your eyes for any eye diseases and disorders, as well as determine your visual acuity. Measurements will be taken of your eyes so that you will get the right contact lenses in Bushwick that fit your eyes perfectly. After your contact lens exam and fitting, our eye doctor will let you know which type of contact lenses will work best for you. Today, most people wear soft contact lenses because they are extremely comfortable and easy to get used to. However, we still offer rigid gas permeable lenses as some patients have better vision correction with these lenses, which are also referred to as hard lenses. Soft contact lenses come in many different styles. Soft contact lenses can be extended wear which means they can be worn for many days without needing to be removed for cleaning, or to rest the eyes. Disposable lenses are worn once, usually for a day, and are then thrown away and replaced with a new pair. This way the person will always have fresh and comfortable contact lenses. Most people wear daily wear lenses. These lenses are worn for about 12 hours a day, and are then removed for cleaning and to rest the eyes. We even have color-changing lenses which make it appear as though the color of your iris has changed. Color-changing lenses can be worn whether or not you need to have vision correction. However, you do need to have a prescription to purchase these lenses, since they need to fit your eyes perfectly.

contact lenses in Bushwick with a current lens prescription, feel free to stop by anytime.
