Debuted in 2020, Precision 1 is Alcon's newest silicone hydrogel daily disposable contacts. It utilizes Alcon's "SmartSurface" technology to create greater than 80% water content at the lens' surface. This provides improved all day comfort and vision. This lens comes in astigmatism prescription as well. Schedule your appointment and try it out!

We are excited to announce that we have acquired the newest daily disposable contacts from Bausch+Lomb! Infuse is a silicone hydrogel contact lens with their next generation material, khalifilcon A. What that means is that it provides all-day comfort and great optics. According to B+L, it was designed to address unmet needs of contact lens wearer, especially dryness. Ask your eye doctor about B+L Infuse at your next visit!

We are excited to announce the only soft contact lens of its kind to the office, Bausch & Lomb Ultra Multifocal for Astigmatism! Before this contact lens, the only multifocal contacts manufactured were spherical, meaning it only corrected either near-sightedness or far-sightedness. As a result, presbyopic patients with astigmatism had to be fitted with monovision to provide distance and near vision. Alternatively, patients would be corrected for distance and then wear reading glasses. According to Bausch & Lomb, "there are an estimated 32 million people in the U.S. living with both astigmatism and presbyopia who could wear contact lenses" and these new lenses offer "an easy-to-fit, multifocal toric lens without the delay and hassle of custom lens ordering." We have been fitting these contacts for several months and have been waiting for positive feedback from patients before making an announcement. So far, so good! So, if you have astigmatism and was told you weren't a candidate for multifocal contacts or if you are unhappy with monovision, schedule an exam and try these out!

We are proud to announce the newest addition to our contact lens department, Acuvue Oasys Transitions! Manufactured by Johnson&Johnson, this widely popular 2-week disposable soft contact lens now has the ability to change shades with exposure to light. It is the only one of its kind. Make an appointment and see if they are right for you!
