True or false? Just about everyone who wears eyeglasses can wear contact lenses.
That statement is absolutely true! Regardless of age, lifestyle
activities, or vision correction needs, more and more people who
thought they couldn’t wear contacts lenses are discovering that they
can. Maybe you can, too!
Parrelli Optical serves the Boston Massachusetts area, and our certified contact lens specialists use the latest high-tech materials and designs to custom-tailor your contact lenses to your eyes, your prescription, and your lifestyle. Every day, they help people just like you to wear contact lenses. Do you recognize any of these comments?
I used to wear contact lenses, but they started
bothering my eyes, so I stopped wearing them.
I guess I have dry eyes.
Dry eyes seem to be much more prevalent today, but they don't have to get in the way of comfortable contact lens wear. Today's contact lens materials are healthier and more comfortable than they've ever been. They allow more oxygen to reach your eyes, and some even have moisture built right in. With the right contact lenses and an appropriate replacement schedule, even dry eyes can be comfortable in contact lenses.
I’ve asked about contact lenses before
— I’d really like to wear them — but I have a
high prescription and astigmatism, so I’ve been told there
are no contact lenses for me.
Contact lens manufacturers have been working overtime to expand the parameters of their products, including “high” or “strong” prescriptions to correct myopia (nearsightedness) and hyperopia (farsightedness) as well as astigmatism. The eyecare professionals at Parrelli Optical will work with you to find the lenses that will give you the best vision. Our Boston contact lenses include CRT, astigmatism, rigid gas permeable, hard and bifocal contact lenses.
I’ve worn contact lenses all my life
with no problems, but ever since I hit the big 4-0, I’ve been
having trouble reading the newspaper and even restaurant menus in
dim light. I really don’t want to go back to glasses -
and definitely not bifocals! What can I do?
You are experiencing the effects of presbyopia, that pesky “my arms aren't long enough” condition that affects everyone to some degree after age 40. The good news is that you don't have to go back to wearing glasses. You can trade in your single-vision lenses for multifocal lenses, which are designed to correct your vision for distance, intermediate tasks, such as working at the computer, and for up-close reading. You may even be able to continue wearing the brand of contact lenses you've been wearing so comfortably all those years.
I’d like to try contact lenses, but
cleaning them is a hassle, right?
Most people don’t have a problem keeping their contact lenses
clean. The new products make the process quick and easy. If you
are concerned you won’t do a good job, you still have other
options. Daily disposables are a great choice. Another option you
may want to try are lenses that are approved for 30-day continuous
wear. They’re safe to wear while you're sleeping, and after a month, you just
throw them away.
These are just a few of the challenges that the professionals at
Parrelli Optical handle every day. Contact
us for an appointment to discuss your special needs.
