Contact Lenses

Thanks to advances in optical technology, almost everyone can now wear contact lenses, regardless of the type or extent of their vision problems. Many patients who were not able to be fitted with contacts in the past, can now be comfortably fitted with newer state of the art contact lenses. That includes patients with astigmatism, prior LASIK or cataract surgery, and those who need bifocal or multi-focal lenses. At Chico Eye Center, we offer a comprehensive array of contact lenses to suit our patients’ individual needs—from daily disposables to extended-wear soft contacts to rigid gas-permeable lenses, and custom specialty-need contacts. Talk with us to find out which contact lenses are best for you.

Daily-Wear Soft Contacts

Daily-wear soft contact lenses are by far the most popular type of contacts. Made of a flexible plastic polymer, daily-wear lenses are put in each morning and taken out each night. They rest in a cleaning solution while you sleep. Daily-wear contacts come in many colors and replacement schedules which range from every day to once per year. Daily wear contacts are the safest option for any eye.

Extended-Wear Soft Contacts

Extended-wear soft contact lenses are FAD approved to be worn all the time, including while you sleep. Depending on whether you have 7-day (standard) or 30-day lenses, you only need to replace your contacts once a week or once a month.

Gas-Permeable Lenses

Rigid, gas-permeable contacts offer several benefits over soft lenses.
•   Can correct a wider range of vision problems, including a high degree of astigmatism
•   Provide sharper vision than most soft lenses
•   Allow more oxygen to pass through to the eye, reducing the risk of corneal irritation
•   Are more durable than soft lenses and don’t need to be replaced as often, lasting as long as two or three years.

*Because they are harder than flexible contacts, gas-permeable lenses may take some getting used to when you first start wearing them. They are also more likely to require adjustments to ensure centration and a proper fit.

Specialty Lenses

Specialty contact lenses can either be soft or gas permeable. They are used for patients with irregular corneas due to trauma, scarring, prior corneal surgery, and certain ocular inflammatory conditions. Fitting these types of lenses frequently requires special testing and ocular measurements and can be very time consuming. At Chico Eye Center, we have the only doctors in the area that have specialized training in fitting these types of lenses. With proper fitting, many of these patients can achieve excellent visual results.
