Contacts are a popular choice among our patients, offering convenience and comfort for daily activities. They are safe for most people, provided they are worn as prescribed. It’s important to follow the recommended wear schedule, as wearing lenses longer than advised or sleeping in lenses not designed for 24-hour wear can lead to serious issues such as infection, scarring, or even vision loss.
To ensure your eyes remain healthy and to adjust your prescription if your vision changes, all contact lens prescriptions come with an expiration date. We recommend an annual eye exam—or sooner if complications arise—so that we can help you maintain clear, comfortable, and healthy vision for years to come.
