Contact Lenses from an Optometrist Near You in North Miami Beach, FL
For people who want an alternative to glasses, contact lenses can be a reliable and comfortable option. Whether you're looking for something more convenient for daily activities or simply want a different look, contact lenses offer flexibility. At Sunny Isles Eye Center, your optometrist in North Miami Beach, FL, we are here to help patients choose lenses that match both their vision needs and their circumstances.
How Contact Lenses Work
Contact lenses are small, curved lenses that sit directly on the surface of the eye. They help focus light properly onto the retina. The main difference between them and other corrective lenses is that contacts move with your eyes and offer a wider field of view without the weight or frames.
There are two basic types of contact lenses: soft and rigid gas permeable (RGP). Most people use soft lenses because they’re easier to get used to and more comfortable for daily wear. RGP lenses may be recommended for people with certain conditions, such as keratoconus or astigmatism.
Types of Contact Lenses
At Sunny Isles Eye Center, we offer several types of contact lenses, depending on your vision correction needs:
● Daily disposables – Worn once and thrown away. Good for convenience and hygiene.
● Bi-weekly or monthly lenses – Cleaned and stored overnight, used for a set period.
● Toric lenses – Designed for people with astigmatism.
● Multifocal lenses – For those who need help seeing both near and far, often used in presbyopia.
● Colored lenses – For cosmetic use, with or without vision correction.
We’ll help determine which type suits your eye shape, prescription, and routine.
Getting a Contact Lens Fitting
A contact lens exam is different from a regular eye exam. In addition to checking your prescription, we take precise measurements of your cornea and evaluate the tear film to ensure the lenses will be comfortable and safe. The goal is not just clear vision—it’s all-day comfort without eye strain or irritation.
Caring for Your Lenses
Proper cleaning and storage are important, especially with reusable lenses. Always use the cleaning solution recommended by your doctor, and don’t rinse lenses with tap water. Replace them on schedule, even if they still feel fine.
