Contact Lenses at Lemoncelli Eyecare

Contact lenses are a popular choice for vision correction, offering a comfortable and convenient alternative to glasses. At Lemoncelli Eyecare, we offer a variety of contact lenses to meet your specific visual needs and lifestyle. We are proud to dispense a variety of contact lens brands, including Acuvue, Cooper, Alcon, and Bausch + Lomb. Whether you’re new to wearing contact lenses or would like to try them, you will need a contact lens exam for a fitting.

There are several advantages of wearing contact lenses over glasses, including:

Improved peripheral vision

Contact lenses move with your eyes, providing better peripheral vision than glasses, which can block your side vision.

Natural appearance

Some people prefer to wear contact lenses because they provide vision correction without any changes or alterations to their facial appearance.

Suitable for active lifestyles

Contact lenses are ideal for people with active lifestyles, especially athletes, as they do not interfere with activities or hinder performance.

Versatility

Contact lenses come in a variety of types and wear schedules to suit individual needs and preferences, including daily disposables, extended wear, and multifocal lenses.

Overall, contact lenses can provide more natural vision and greater convenience, comfort, and flexibility than glasses for many people. However, it’s essential to consult an eye care professional to determine if contact lenses are the right choice for you and to receive proper guidance on lens selection, wear schedule, and care.

Types of contact lenses

There are several types of soft contact lenses, each designed to meet specific visual needs and wear schedules. Here are the most common types of soft contact lenses:

Daily disposable contact lenses

These lenses are designed to be worn once and then discarded. They are the most hygienic option and require no cleaning or maintenance. They are ideal for occasional wear, travel, or people with allergies.

Daily wear contact lenses

These lenses are worn during the day and removed at night for cleaning and disinfecting. They can be worn for up to two weeks or as prescribed by an eye doctor.

Extended wear contact lenses

These lenses are designed to be worn overnight for up to a week, depending on the type. They require proper cleaning and disinfecting to reduce the risk of infection.

Planned replacement contact lenses

These lenses are designed to be replaced on a specific schedule, typically every two weeks or monthly, depending on the type. They require regular cleaning and disinfecting.

Toric contact lenses

These lenses are designed to correct astigmatism, a common vision problem caused by an irregularly shaped cornea or lens. They come in different wear schedules, including daily wear and planned replacement.

Multifocal contact lenses

These lenses are designed to correct both near and distance vision, making them ideal for people with presbyopia, a condition that affects near vision due to aging.

Colored contact lenses

These lenses are tinted to change the color of the iris for cosmetic purposes. They are available in different wear schedules, including daily wear and planned replacement.

Dr. Lemoncelli will consult with you on which type of soft contact lens is suitable for your visual needs and lifestyle. She can also provide guidance on proper wear and care to ensure optimal eye health and comfort.
