Contact Lenses

Vision Care Specialists Offer Multifocal and Toric Contact Lenses for Astigmatism and Presbyopia in Denver

Contact lenses are a popular way to temporarily improve vision without having to wear glasses. Ideal for myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism, and presbyopia, contact lenses are clear lenses that are placed on the cornea. Made from a variety of materials, contact lenses fall into two categories—hard or soft. Hard contact lenses are made of a rigid plastic and are often prescribed to patients who cannot tolerate soft contacts for some reason. Soft contact lenses are made of oxygen permeable materials and are disposable. While some contact lenses are replaced daily, others are replaced every couple of weeks or longer. A contact lens exam, in addition to a comprehensive eye exam, will help determine the type of contact lens to fit your needs. Contact Vision Care Specialists in Denver, Aurora, Highlands Ranch, and Lakewood to schedule a contact lens examination.

Important information for AIR OPTIX^® AQUA, AIR OPTIX® for ASTIGMATISM and AIR OPTIX^® AQUA MULTIFOCAL contact lenses : For daily wear or extended wear up to 6 nights for near/ far-sightedness, astigmatism and/or presbyopia. Risk of serious eye problems (i.e., corneal ulcer) is greater for extended wear.  In rare cases, loss of vision may result. Side effects like discomfort, mild burning or stinging may occur.   

Brief Statement of intended use: AIR OPTIX^® NIGHT & DAY® AQUA contact lenses (lotrafilcon A) are indicated for daily wear or extended wear for up to 30 continuous nights. Warning: The risk of serious ocular complications is greater for extended wear as compared to daily wear of contact lenses and smoking increases the risks. Precautions: Not all patients can achieve the maximum wear time of up to 30 nights of continuous wear. Patients should be monitored closely during the first month of 30-night continuous wear. The maximum suggested wearing time should be determined by the eye care professional based upon the patient's physiological eye condition because individual responses to contact lenses vary. Side effects: Infiltrative keratitis was reported at a rate of approximately 5% during the one-year US study of 1300 eyes. Other side effects included conjunctivitis, GPC, and lens discomfort, including dryness, mild burning, or stinging. Contraindications: The lens should not be used when an inflammation or infection of the eye is present, or when there is any disease or injury in or around the eye or eyelids. The lenses should not be used by individuals who have medical conditions that might interfere with contact lens wear.
