Contact Lenses

First Eye Care Downtown Dallas strives to exceed all of your expectations about your family’s eye and vision care needs. Corrective lens evaluations and prescription management are provided by our optometrists in Downtown Dallas. After a comprehensive eye and vision evaluation, your eye doctor will discuss the variety of contact lens options with you to select the type that best fits your vision needs and lifestyle. If you suffer from dry eye, allergies, or recurring eye infections, speak with our eye doctors and staff to determine whether contact lenses are right for you.

Evaluation

Prior to prescribing contact lenses, your eye doctor determines what vision correction you require. Refractive error (commonly known as nearsightedness, farsightedness, or astigmatism) is evaluated by measuring how the eyes focus when a series of different lenses are placed in front of them. To schedule an appointment for a vision evaluation with our Downtown Dallas office, call (214) 220-2425 today.

Corrective Lenses

After determining your refractive error, your eye doctor works with you to determine whether contact lenses or glasses are best for your lifestyle. Contact lenses are available in soft or rigid gas permeable form. Soft contact lenses need to be changed daily, weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly, depending on what type of lens best works for you. Rigid gas permeable lenses typically need to be replaced every one or two years. Specialized contact lenses are also available for patients with special eye conditions. Call us at (214) 220-2425 if you are interested in learning if contact lenses are a good fit for you.

Cosmetic Lenses

Advances in contact lens technology have created great options for cosmetic and prosthetic lenses. Custom contact lenses can be created to camouflage any color variation or irregularity and produce a natural eye color. Cosmetic lenses are also available to transform your eye color. Call us at (214) 220-2425 and speak to our knowledgeable staff if you are interested in modifying or changing your eye color with contact lenses.
