New Duette Hybrid Contact Lens Technology!

Did you know that rigid gas permeable lenses offer better visual clarity than even soft contact lenses?

So why don't we put everyone in rigid lenses?  Because they're rigid, it takes some time to get used to having them in your eyes.  Eventually, the sensation of having the lenses on decreases and most people are very happy with the way they see.

Now there is a new lens that gives the clear vision of rigid lenses, but the comfort is more like a soft lens.

People who wear soft lenses and have good vision may not be the best candidates for the new Duette lenses, but for

those who wear soft lenses and don't have the best vision or those who wear rigid lenses and don't have the best comfort, this might be an ideal solution.

As always, we offer risk free trials on all lenses so if you think this might be the solution for you, come in and see me!

What is Astigmatism?

I'm probably asked this question more than any other so here's a little primer on how the optics of the eye work.

Let's first go over how light rays behave as they enter the eye.

In a normal eye, light rays enter the eye, are bent by the tear film, cornea, and lens, and then come to one point focus on the retina. The retina is where rods and cones pick up the light signals which are then transmitted to the brain via the optic nerve.
