IMPORTANT REMINDER: WHAT ARE CONTACT LENSES?
Contact lenses are optical devices placed directly on the surface of the eye to correct vision problems, such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism and presbyopia.
WHEN DO WE NEED: CONTACT LENSES
Contact lenses may be needed in the following cases:
-
Vision correction: For vision disorders such as myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism or presbyopia, when glasses are not the ideal solution.
-
Comfort or aesthetic preference: When glasses are uncomfortable or for aesthetic reasons, providing a discreet alternative to correct vision.
-
Specific activities: for sports or activities where glasses may be bulky or deteriorate easily.
-
Improved peripheral vision: Lenses provide a more complete field of vision, unobstructed by eyeglass frames.
-
Special medical conditions: In some cases, such as after eye surgery or to treat corneal abnormalities, lenses may be needed for additional correction or comfort.
HOW IT WORKS: CONTACT LENS TREATMENT
Contact lens treatment begins with a consultation where the doctor measures the eyes and determines the prescription. The suitable type of lenses is selected based on individual needs. Next, the lenses are adjusted and tried on to ensure comfort and proper positioning. The patient receives training on putting in, removing and caring for the lenses. Finally, follow-up visits allow you to check eye health and adjust the prescription if necessary.
AFTERMATH OF TREATMENT
I WANT A CLEAR VISION, WHAT SHOULD I DO?
After starting to wear contact lenses, it is normal to feel some initial discomfort during adaptation. It is crucial to follow the instructions for lens cleaning and care to avoid infections. Follow-up visits check the fit and health of the eyes. If you experience persistent discomfort or eye problems, it is important to consult a professional.
