Bifocal
Lenses
A favorable alternative to traditional
glasses, bifocal lenses are not only less
noticeable, but work better. They
correct for both near and far-sightedness.
Colored
Lenses
Colored contacts are used for cosmetic
reasons. You can change the color of
your eyes in an instant with colored lenses.
Even if you have brown eyes, you can have
blue, green or even red eyes the moment you
pop in colored lenses.
Cosmetic
Lenses
Cosmetic lenses, such as Crazy Contacts, can
be really fun. Feeling kind of funky?
Pop in some cosmetic lenses and have cat
eyes, wolf eyes, eyes of fire, pure white,
or psychedelic spirals.
Disposable Contacts
Disposable lenses are simply more convenient
than traditional rigid lenses. You do
not have to clean them; rather, throw them
away at the end of the day and pop in a new
pair tomorrow.
Soft
Contacts
Disposable lenses are now preferred over
traditional, rigid lenses. Rigid
lenses are harder on the eyes and have
greater maintenance requirements. Soft
contacts are easy on even sensitive eyes and
are more gas permeable.
Toric Lenses
Toric lenses help correct for a vision
condition known as astigmatism.
