Contact Lenses

​Choosing contact lenses can offer numerus benefits for vision correction and lifestyle. They provide a wider and more natural field of view compared to glasses, which sometimes obstruct peripheral vision due to frames.
​Contact lenses  stay securely in place during physical activities, making them ideal for sports and active lifestyle

​Dr Niki Patellis and Dr Barbara Koslow will discuss your options during the contact lens exam, helping you choose the most convenient lenses for your lifestyle.
​When  your prescription and the correct contact lenses are determined, we will give you a trial pair of lenses to wear for a week or two to ensure they are comfortable and you can see clearly. Before you can leave the office with the contacts, a technician will sit down with you to ensure you know how to insert, remove, and care for the lenses. We will also teach you how to care for the contacts to ensure they last and avoid potential eye infections.
