<h3>Contact Lenses</h3>

<p><strong>Who can wear contact lenses?</strong><br />
 Most people can. Recent advances in contact lenses include
astigmatism-correcting lenses, bifocals, daily disposables, and
frequent-replacement lenses. Whether you're nearsighted or
farsighted, older or younger, you can probably wear some type of
contact lens.</p>

<p><strong>Are contact lenses good for my eyes? Can they cause
damage to the cornea?</strong><br />
 Contact lenses have proven to be a healthy vision option for
millions of people. But only your eyecare professional can
determine if they are healthy for you. If you follow all prescribed
steps for inserting, removing, and caring for them, contact lenses
will continue to be safe and effective. You also need to see your
eyecare professional regularly to insure long-term corneal
health.</p>

<p><strong>At what age can contact lens wear begin?</strong><br />
 As soon as the need for vision correction is identified, contact
lenses are a viable option. In fact, they have frequently been used
in premature infants, who sometimes have vision problems. With
proper care and lens maintenance, infants, young children, teens,
and adults of all ages can wear contacts effectively. If you're a
parent, click here for more information.</p>

<p><strong>Should I wear contact lenses while playing
sports?</strong><br />
 Sports vision doctors agree that contact lenses are the best
vision correction option for athletes. They can enhance visual
skills like depth perception, peripheral awareness, and
eye-hand/eye-foot coordination. Unlike glasses, contacts offer
athletes a competitive advantage because they stay in place under
dynamic conditions, provide a wider vision field, and eliminate the
risk of glasses-related injuries. Contact lenses also make it easy
to wear protective goggles. Click here for more information on
contact lenses and sports.</p>

<p><strong>Is it true that some contact lenses can actually slow or
control nearsightedness?</strong><br />
 Many contact lens specialists agree that GP contact lenses, which
are made of firm plastic, may slow the progression of
nearsightedness (myopia), whereas spectacles or soft contact lenses
offer no such benefit. Myopia control is one reason why GP contacts
are an excellent choice for many school-aged children and teens.
Various eye care practitioners are continuing research in this
area.</p>

<p><strong>If I have astigmatism, can I wear contact
lenses?</strong><br />
 Yes. Astigmatism is distorted vision caused by an irregularly
shaped cornea. Contact lenses that correct astigmatism are called
torics, and they come in both soft and GP contact lens materials.
GP contacts tend to work better for astigmatism, because they are
custom-fit to your eyes' particular shape; also, their firm
material keeps its original shape more when you blink. In addition,
small amounts of astigmatism may be corrected with a regular,
non-toric GP contact lens.</p>

<p><strong>Aren't soft contact lenses the newest and best
technology?</strong><br />
 No. When they were first available in 1971, soft contact lenses
were a giant leap in technology and comfort over old-style hard
contact lenses. But GP contact lenses, first marketed in 1979, are
a next-generation advancement. New, recently developed materials
and designs make them a state-of-the-art option for contact lens
wearers, offering sharper vision, better corneal health, longer
lens life, and greater ease of care than most soft contacts. Click
here for an in-depth comparison of GPs and soft lenses.</p>

<p><strong>Are contacts hard to take care of?</strong><br />
 It differs from lens to lens. GP contacts, which last for years,
need daily cleaning and disinfecting but generally no enzyming,
since their slick surface resists deposit buildup. Daily disposable
lenses are worn once, then discarded, with no maintenance required.
Weekly soft disposables are cleaned at the end of the day, then
soaked in disinfecting solution until they're worn again. Since
they're discarded before deposit buildups occur, they don't need to
be soaked in an enzyme solution. Other soft lenses usually require
daily cleaning/disinfection and weekly enzyming.</p>

<p><strong>How can I get contact lenses that change the appearance
or color of my eyes?</strong><br />
 Soft contact lenses are available that will change the color of
your eyes, even if you don't require vision correction. Costume
lenses for Halloween or theatrical purposes are also available.
Both are still a prescribed medical device that must be fitted and
followed up by your eyecare professional. And remember, even though
such lenses might provoke curiosity by your friends and family
members, never share them with anyone. Sharing lenses can lead to
dangerous health problems.</p>

<p><strong>Who should I see for contacts -- an optometrist or an
ophthalmologist?</strong><br />
 It is your choice. Optometrists (Doctors of Optometry, or O.D.s)
perform eye examinations, treat eye disease, prescribe vision
correction, fit contact lenses, and dispense eyeglasses.
Ophthalmologists are medical doctors (M.D.s) who specialize in
eyes. Many concentrate on eye surgery and treatment of disease, but
some specialize in contact lenses. Also, in some states specially
trained opticians or contact lens technicians are licensed to fit
contact lenses. Since they must fit the lenses from an
optometrist's or ophthalmologist's prescription, they often work
with them in the same office.</p>

<p><strong>How much do contact lenses cost?</strong><br />
 The cost of contact lenses can vary greatly. If you have a
difficult prescription or need correction for problems like
astigmatism, your lenses will be more expensive. If you have no
special requirements, your options will range from daily
disposables (fairly high cost) to GP contacts, which are thought by
many to provide the greatest value. GP contacts, though initially
more expensive, can last for years and are inexpensive to care for.
Consumer Reports called GP contact lenses a better buy "because
they're more durable and cheaper to maintain." Fortunately, GP
contacts can also accommodate any prescription, no matter how
difficult, because they are custom-made for each individual
wearer.</p>

<p><strong>Can I sleep in contact lenses?</strong><br />
 Ask your doctor. It depends on the type of lens you're wearing,
the composition of your tear film, your general eye health, and
other factors. GP contact lenses and certain soft lenses can be
slept in, but never wear them while sleeping unless your eyecare
practitioner says you can.</p>

<p>I've never worn contact lenses, and the thought of putting
something in my eye is a little scary.</p>

<p>This is a typical concern with first-time wearers, but your
eyecare professional will be able to help. Here are some of the
most common worries:<br />
<br />
</p>

<ul>
<li>"I can't get my eye open wide enough." 

<blockquote>
<p>Yes you can. Grasp the upper eyelashes between your thumb and
index finger and gently pull the eyelids apart.</p>
</blockquote>
</li>

<li>"My eyes are too small." 

<blockquote>
<p>They aren't. Hold the top lid up and rest the edge of the lens
inside the lower lid with the lens slanting out. If you look down,
the lens usually moves right onto the eye.</p>
</blockquote>
</li>

<li>"What if I put the lens in the wrong place?" 

<blockquote>
<p>You can't. The lens won't fit right unless it's centered, and it
has a natural tendency to move to the center of your eye. Your
eyecare professional can show you how to move it into position if
you do get the lens off the cornea.</p>
</blockquote>
</li>

<li>"What if the lens slides to the back of my eyeball?" 

<blockquote>
<p>Don't worry, this is completely impossible.</p>
</blockquote>
</li>

<li>"The lens won't stick in place." 

<blockquote>
<p>Usually it's because the lens is attracted to the wettest
surface, and your finger is wetter than your eye. Dry your finger,
and let your lens air-dry for a few seconds before insertion.</p>
</blockquote>
</li>

<li>"I'm afraid I'll put my lens on inside-out." 

<blockquote>
<p>The good thing about GP contact lenses is that they can't flip
inside-out. But if it's a soft lens, look at it closely. If the
edge is flared out, it's probably inside-out. Some soft lenses have
little marks to help you know if they're inside out.</p>
</blockquote>
</li>

<li>"How do I get the lens out again? Isn't it stuck to my eye?" 

<blockquote>
<p>No. If you're wearing a GP contact lens, just pull your eyelid
taut to the side and blink. It pops right out. For a soft lens, use
a few drops of rewetting or solution to keep the lens wet. Look up,
touch the lens, and let it slide down and over to the outside
corner of the eye. The lens will bunch up, so it's easy to fold
out.</p>
</blockquote>
</li>

<li>"Will I give myself an eye problem by touching the lens?" 

<blockquote>
<p>No. Just make sure to wash your hands first.</p>
</blockquote>
</li>
</ul>

<h3>Eye Exams</h3>

<p><strong>How often should I have an eye exam?</strong><br />
 We recommend yearly eye exams for all patients unless you have a
specific eye condition which, may require more frequent visits.
Although you may not notice a change in your prescription, annual
eye exams are important to check the medical health of your eye.
Yearly eye exams are also important for those who wear contact
lenses. The fit of your contact lenses must be checked to ensure
they are fitting properly and not adversely affecting your eye
health.</p>

<p><strong>How do I know if my child needs an eye
exam?</strong><br />
 All children should have an eye exam, beginning at 6 months.
Through the InfantSEE® program, we offer complimentary eye exams
for children between the ages of 6-12 months. Your child may not
complain of any visual symptoms; however, a complete eye exam is
the only way to ensure that your child is seeing as clearly as
possible. Sometimes problems with school performance, coordination,
and depth perception could be the result of an undiagnosed eye
condition.</p>

<p><strong>Why do my kids need an exam when they get their eyes
checked in school?</strong><br />
 Though vision screenings are an excellent way for the school
systems to pick up gross abnormalities in your child's vision, they
do not check for eye health problems. They also do not check for
more complicated vision problems that may affect learning,
especially reading. The only way to accurately detect problems that
may affect your child's visual performance is to have a
comprehensive eye health and vision exam.</p>

<p><strong>How long will the eye exam take?</strong><br />
 The length of your eye exam really depends on your specific eyes.
An eye exam can range from 30 minutes to 90 minutes depending on
what the doctor finds during the examination.</p>

<p><strong>What does the eye exam involve?</strong></p>

<p>During your exam we will evaluate the health function of the
following:<br />
<br />
</p>

<ul>
<li>Eye muscles (Strabismus, otherwise known as "lazy eye")</li>

<li>Pupils</li>

<li>Intraocular pressure (Glaucoma)</li>

<li>Cornea</li>

<li>Crystalline lens (Cataracts)</li>

<li>Retina (Macular degeneration, Diabetes, and other retinal
problems)</li>

<li>Optic Nerve head (Glaucoma)</li>

<li>Refraction (Prescription)</li>

<li>Peripheral vision</li>
</ul>

<p><strong>Do I have to be dilated?</strong><br />
 To adequately examine the retina, optic nerve, and macula (inside
of your eyes), we need to dilate the pupils of your eye in most
cases. If you have never had your pupils dilated, you may wish to
have a driver the first time. Most patients, however, are able to
drive after this procedure</p>

<h3>LASIK</h3>

<p><strong>What is LASIK, and how is it done?</strong><br />
 LASIK is a surgical procedure that is capable of correcting a wide
range of nearsightedness (myopia), farsightedness (hyperopia) and
astigmatism.</p>

<p><strong>What does the name of the LASIK procedure
mean?</strong><br />
 LASIK is the acronym for laser in situ keratomileusis, sometimes
referred to as laser assisted in situ keratomileusis. The name
refers the use of a laser to reshape the cornea without invading
the adjacent cell layers. In situ is Greek for "in the natural or
normal place." Medically, in situ means confined to the site of
origin without invasion of neighboring tissues. Kerato is the Greek
word for cornea and mileusis means "to shape."</p>

<p><strong>Who can LASIK benefit?</strong><br />
 LASIK can benefit a great number of people with myopia, hyperopia
and astigmatism. Candidates should have a strong desire to be less
dependent on corrective lenses, have established realistic
expectations, and understand the risks associated with the
surgery.</p>

<p><strong>Who can't have LASIK?</strong><br />
 There are a number of factors that doctors must evaluate before
they can determine who is an eligible candidate for LASIK. Some
doctors deem certain pre-existing conditions contraindications to
the procedure and will not perform surgery if you possess them.
Sometimes, factors exist that preclude a patient from being an
ideal candidate for LASIK surgery. In many cases, a surgeon may
still be able to safely perform the procedure, given that the
patient and physician have adequately discussed the risks and
benefits and set realistic expectations for results.</p>

<p><strong>If I'm not eligible for LASIK, are there other options
available to me?</strong><br />
 LASIK is only one type of refractive surgery available to
patients. Although you may not be eligible for LASIK, you may be
eligible for a different procedure. You would need to discuss your
options with your ophthalmologist. For more information on these
options, please see our Refractive Surgeries section.</p>

<p><strong>I am happy with my contact lenses. Should I pursue
having LASIK?</strong><br />
 Most surgeons agree that if you are comfortable wearing contact
lenses and are not bothered by being dependent on them, you should
carefully evaluate the risks and benefits of LASIK. For more
information, please see our Eligibility section.</p>

<p><strong>What results can I expect from LASIK?</strong><br />
 LASIK improves the uncorrected vision - one's vision without
wearing corrective lenses - in most patients who have the
procedure. Over 90% of patients with low to moderate myopia will
achieve 20/40 vision, which is considered the minimum allowed by
most states and provinces to drive without having to wear contacts
or glasses. Over half of all patients can expect to achieve 20/20
vision or better. However, there are no guarantees that you will
have perfect vision, and patients with high myopia (more than -7D)
and high hyperopia (more than +4D) should have a different set of
expectations. People who are most satisfied with the results of
laser correction possess realistic expectations of what their
vision will be like after surgery. For more information, please see
our Expectations section.</p>

<p><strong>Will my vision be as crisp after LASIK?</strong><br />
 Patients need to understand that 20/20 vision after LASIK might be
different from 20/20 with corrective lenses. Some people describe
the images they see post-operatively as not being as "crisp"" as
those seen through glasses. To learn more about crisp vision,
please see our Expectations section.</p>

<p><strong>How long will it take before I can see well, and how
long will it take before I have my best vision?</strong><br />
 Fast visual recovery characterizes this operation. Most patients
achieve good vision the day of surgery and find that their eyes
feel fairly normal within a day. However, vision can continue to
improve, and best vision can still take two to three months to
occur. If necessary, adjustments to the surgery called enhancements
can be done. Patients who undergo hyperopic LASIK often need to
wait longer to able to see clearly. Typically, they are unable to
see with intense clarity for one or two weeks, with best vision
coming in several months post-operatively. For more information on
this subject, please see our Expectations section.</p>

<p><strong>Will I need to wear glasses or bifocals once my eyes
have healed?</strong><br />
 Most patients who have LASIK do not need to wear glasses for their
daily activities. However, patients may need to wear reading
glasses if they are over the age of 40. This is caused by the
normal aging of the eye known as presbyopia. This condition occurs
with or without LASIK. Some patients may need a minimal
prescription for some activities. Those patients who currently have
bifocals will still need reading glasses after the surgery unless
they opt for a treatment plan called monovision, wherein one eye is
corrected for distance and the other for near vision. For more
information, please see our Expectations section.</p>

<p><strong>Are the results achieved from LASIK
permanent?</strong><br />
 LASIK is a surgical procedure that permanently removes corneal
tissue to reshape the eye in order to improve refraction. The
physical results are permanent. However, you should be aware that
since the eyes can still change with time, and LASIK does not
affect a number of visual conditions associated with age. For
example, LASIK does not prevent presbyopia or affect this condition
once it does occur.</p>

<p><strong>Does the LASIK procedure hurt?</strong><br />
 Patients are given a topical anesthetic (eye drops) to numb the
eye, so they experience no pain during the procedure. When the
surgeon applies the vacuum ring, the patient experiences a
sensation of pressure just before his or her vision fades for a few
seconds. The microkeratome - the instrument the surgeon uses to
create the flap - and the laser do not cause any pain or
discomfort. For several hours after the procedure, many patients
describe a mild burning sensation, such as after opening the eyes
while swimming in chlorinated water. Therefore, taking a nap for
the first 2 to 3 hours after LASIK is encouraged. After the first
few hours, this uncomfortable feeling usually subsides.</p>

<p><strong>What kind of anesthetic is used for
LASIK?</strong><br />
 The procedure is done with topical anesthetic (eye drops) to numb
the eye. Patients may be given a small amount of oral sedative to
help them relax.</p>

<p><strong>How safe is the LASIK procedure?</strong><br />
 According to several large studies, there is approximately a 2%
intra-operative and 3-5% post-operative complication rate. Most of
these complications do not result in loss of 2 or more lines of
best corrected visual acuity or interfere with vision long term.
The rate of severe complications should be substantially less than
1%. It is important for patients to understand that LASIK is
surgery, and a small incidence of complications is to be expected.

Complications section.</p>

<h3>Eye Glasses</h3>

<p><strong>Why should I bother to go to the eye doctor when I can
simply pick up an inexpensive pair of eyeglasses at the
store?</strong></p>

<p>Some people do have good luck with drugstore reading glasses.
However, you need to visit your eyecare practitioner regularly for
two reasons:</p>

<ul>
<li>Regular eye exams are the only way to catch "silent" diseases
in their early stages, when they're more easily treated.</li>

<li>One-size-fits-all reading glasses do not work well for people
who have a different prescription in each eye, or whose eyes are
not centered in the lens. Headaches are a common problem in those
cases.</li>
</ul>

<p><strong>What should I consider when choosing an eyeglass
frame?</strong></p>

<p>The following are some things to consider when choosing an
eyeglass frame that is right for you:</p>

<ul>
<li>Shape of face (oval, round, square, rectangular or oblong,
diamond, base-down triangle, base-up triangle).</li>

<li>Color (match or contrast your hair and skin tone, eye color, or
colors you wear most).</li>

<li>Frame type (full, half-rimless, rimless).</li>

<li>Frame material (plastic, metal, titanium, stainless steel,
hypoallergenic).</li>

<li>Your personality and life style.</li>
</ul>

<p><strong>How do I avoid annoying reflections on my
eyeglasses?</strong><br />
 Anti-reflective coating, also known as AR coating, helps you to
see through your eyeglasses more easily, allows others to see your
eyes better and eliminates the annoying white glare spots in photos
taken with a flash.</p>

<div><strong>I'm interested in the glasses that change to
sunglasses when you go outside. Can you tell me more about
them?</strong><br />
 These lenses are known as photochromic lenses. When they're
exposed to ultraviolet light, they become darker or change to a
different color. Most brands remain pretty light when you're
driving, because windshields block UV light.</div>

<h3>Contact Lenses</h3>

<p><strong>Who can wear contact lenses?</strong><br />
 Most people can. Recent advances in contact lenses include
astigmatism-correcting lenses, bifocals, daily disposables, and
frequent-replacement lenses. Whether you're nearsighted or
farsighted, older or younger, you can probably wear some type of
contact lens.</p>

<p><strong>Are contact lenses good for my eyes? Can they cause
damage to the cornea?</strong><br />
 Contact lenses have proven to be a healthy vision option for
millions of people. But only your eyecare professional can
determine if they are healthy for you. If you follow all prescribed
steps for inserting, removing, and caring for them, contact lenses
will continue to be safe and effective. You also need to see your
eyecare professional regularly to insure long-term corneal
health.</p>

<p><strong>At what age can contact lens wear begin?</strong><br />
 As soon as the need for vision correction is identified, contact
lenses are a viable option. In fact, they have frequently been used
in premature infants, who sometimes have vision problems. With
proper care and lens maintenance, infants, young children, teens,
and adults of all ages can wear contacts effectively. If you're a
parent, click here for more information.</p>

<p><strong>Should I wear contact lenses while playing
sports?</strong><br />
 Sports vision doctors agree that contact lenses are the best
vision correction option for athletes. They can enhance visual
skills like depth perception, peripheral awareness, and
eye-hand/eye-foot coordination. Unlike glasses, contacts offer
athletes a competitive advantage because they stay in place under
dynamic conditions, provide a wider vision field, and eliminate the
risk of glasses-related injuries. Contact lenses also make it easy
to wear protective goggles. Click here for more information on
contact lenses and sports.</p>

<p><strong>Is it true that some contact lenses can actually slow or
control nearsightedness?</strong><br />
 Many contact lens specialists agree that GP contact lenses, which
are made of firm plastic, may slow the progression of
nearsightedness (myopia), whereas spectacles or soft contact lenses
offer no such benefit. Myopia control is one reason why GP contacts
are an excellent choice for many school-aged children and teens.
Various eye care practitioners are continuing research in this
area.</p>

<p><strong>If I have astigmatism, can I wear contact
lenses?</strong><br />
 Yes. Astigmatism is distorted vision caused by an irregularly
shaped cornea. Contact lenses that correct astigmatism are called
torics, and they come in both soft and GP contact lens materials.
GP contacts tend to work better for astigmatism, because they are
custom-fit to your eyes' particular shape; also, their firm
material keeps its original shape more when you blink. In addition,
small amounts of astigmatism may be corrected with a regular,
non-toric GP contact lens.</p>

<p><strong>Aren't soft contact lenses the newest and best
technology?</strong><br />
 No. When they were first available in 1971, soft contact lenses
were a giant leap in technology and comfort over old-style hard
contact lenses. But GP contact lenses, first marketed in 1979, are
a next-generation advancement. New, recently developed materials
and designs make them a state-of-the-art option for contact lens
wearers, offering sharper vision, better corneal health, longer
lens life, and greater ease of care than most soft contacts. Click
here for an in-depth comparison of GPs and soft lenses.</p>

<p><strong>Are contacts hard to take care of?</strong><br />
 It differs from lens to lens. GP contacts, which last for years,
need daily cleaning and disinfecting but generally no enzyming,
since their slick surface resists deposit buildup. Daily disposable
lenses are worn once, then discarded, with no maintenance required.
Weekly soft disposables are cleaned at the end of the day, then
soaked in disinfecting solution until they're worn again. Since
they're discarded before deposit buildups occur, they don't need to
be soaked in an enzyme solution. Other soft lenses usually require
daily cleaning/disinfection and weekly enzyming.</p>

<p><strong>How can I get contact lenses that change the appearance
or color of my eyes?</strong><br />
 Soft contact lenses are available that will change the color of
your eyes, even if you don't require vision correction. Costume
lenses for Halloween or theatrical purposes are also available.
Both are still a prescribed medical device that must be fitted and
followed up by your eyecare professional. And remember, even though
such lenses might provoke curiosity by your friends and family
members, never share them with anyone. Sharing lenses can lead to
dangerous health problems.</p>

<p><strong>Who should I see for contacts -- an optometrist or an
ophthalmologist?</strong><br />
 It is your choice. Optometrists (Doctors of Optometry, or O.D.s)
perform eye examinations, treat eye disease, prescribe vision
correction, fit contact lenses, and dispense eyeglasses.
Ophthalmologists are medical doctors (M.D.s) who specialize in
eyes. Many concentrate on eye surgery and treatment of disease, but
some specialize in contact lenses. Also, in some states specially
trained opticians or contact lens technicians are licensed to fit
contact lenses. Since they must fit the lenses from an
optometrist's or ophthalmologist's prescription, they often work
with them in the same office.</p>

<p><strong>How much do contact lenses cost?</strong><br />
 The cost of contact lenses can vary greatly. If you have a
difficult prescription or need correction for problems like
astigmatism, your lenses will be more expensive. If you have no
special requirements, your options will range from daily
disposables (fairly high cost) to GP contacts, which are thought by
many to provide the greatest value. GP contacts, though initially
more expensive, can last for years and are inexpensive to care for.
Consumer Reports called GP contact lenses a better buy "because
they're more durable and cheaper to maintain." Fortunately, GP
contacts can also accommodate any prescription, no matter how
difficult, because they are custom-made for each individual
wearer.</p>

<p><strong>Can I sleep in contact lenses?</strong><br />
 Ask your doctor. It depends on the type of lens you're wearing,
the composition of your tear film, your general eye health, and
other factors. GP contact lenses and certain soft lenses can be
slept in, but never wear them while sleeping unless your eyecare
practitioner says you can.</p>

<p>I've never worn contact lenses, and the thought of putting
something in my eye is a little scary.</p>

<p>This is a typical concern with first-time wearers, but your
eyecare professional will be able to help. Here are some of the
most common worries:<br />
<br />
</p>

<ul>
<li>"I can't get my eye open wide enough." 

<blockquote>
<p>Yes you can. Grasp the upper eyelashes between your thumb and
index finger and gently pull the eyelids apart.</p>
</blockquote>
</li>

<li>"My eyes are too small." 

<blockquote>
<p>They aren't. Hold the top lid up and rest the edge of the lens
inside the lower lid with the lens slanting out. If you look down,
the lens usually moves right onto the eye.</p>
</blockquote>
</li>

<li>"What if I put the lens in the wrong place?" 

<blockquote>
<p>You can't. The lens won't fit right unless it's centered, and it
has a natural tendency to move to the center of your eye. Your
eyecare professional can show you how to move it into position if
you do get the lens off the cornea.</p>
</blockquote>
</li>

<li>"What if the lens slides to the back of my eyeball?" 

<blockquote>
<p>Don't worry, this is completely impossible.</p>
</blockquote>
</li>

<li>"The lens won't stick in place." 

<blockquote>
<p>Usually it's because the lens is attracted to the wettest
surface, and your finger is wetter than your eye. Dry your finger,
and let your lens air-dry for a few seconds before insertion.</p>
</blockquote>
</li>

<li>"I'm afraid I'll put my lens on inside-out." 

<blockquote>
<p>The good thing about GP contact lenses is that they can't flip
inside-out. But if it's a soft lens, look at it closely. If the
edge is flared out, it's probably inside-out. Some soft lenses have
little marks to help you know if they're inside out.</p>
</blockquote>
</li>

<li>"How do I get the lens out again? Isn't it stuck to my eye?" 

<blockquote>
<p>No. If you're wearing a GP contact lens, just pull your eyelid
taut to the side and blink. It pops right out. For a soft lens, use
a few drops of rewetting or solution to keep the lens wet. Look up,
touch the lens, and let it slide down and over to the outside
corner of the eye. The lens will bunch up, so it's easy to fold
out.</p>
</blockquote>
</li>

<li>"Will I give myself an eye problem by touching the lens?" 

<blockquote>
<p>No. Just make sure to wash your hands first.</p>
</blockquote>
</li>
</ul>

<h3>Eye Exams</h3>

<p><strong>How often should I have an eye exam?</strong><br />
 We recommend yearly eye exams for all patients unless you have a
specific eye condition which, may require more frequent visits.
Although you may not notice a change in your prescription, annual
eye exams are important to check the medical health of your eye.
Yearly eye exams are also important for those who wear contact
lenses. The fit of your contact lenses must be checked to ensure
they are fitting properly and not adversely affecting your eye
health.</p>

<p><strong>How do I know if my child needs an eye
exam?</strong><br />
 All children should have an eye exam, beginning at 6 months.
Through the InfantSEE® program, we offer complimentary eye exams
for children between the ages of 6-12 months. Your child may not
complain of any visual symptoms; however, a complete eye exam is
the only way to ensure that your child is seeing as clearly as
possible. Sometimes problems with school performance, coordination,
and depth perception could be the result of an undiagnosed eye
condition.</p>

<p><strong>Why do my kids need an exam when they get their eyes
checked in school?</strong><br />
 Though vision screenings are an excellent way for the school
systems to pick up gross abnormalities in your child's vision, they
do not check for eye health problems. They also do not check for
more complicated vision problems that may affect learning,
especially reading. The only way to accurately detect problems that
may affect your child's visual performance is to have a
comprehensive eye health and vision exam.</p>

<p><strong>How long will the eye exam take?</strong><br />
 The length of your eye exam really depends on your specific eyes.
An eye exam can range from 30 minutes to 90 minutes depending on
what the doctor finds during the examination.</p>

<p><strong>What does the eye exam involve?</strong></p>

<p>During your exam we will evaluate the health function of the
following:<br />
<br />
</p>

<ul>
<li>Eye muscles (Strabismus, otherwise known as "lazy eye")</li>

<li>Pupils</li>

<li>Intraocular pressure (Glaucoma)</li>

<li>Cornea</li>

<li>Crystalline lens (Cataracts)</li>

<li>Retina (Macular degeneration, Diabetes, and other retinal
problems)</li>

<li>Optic Nerve head (Glaucoma)</li>

<li>Refraction (Prescription)</li>

<li>Peripheral vision</li>
</ul>

<p><strong>Do I have to be dilated?</strong><br />
 To adequately examine the retina, optic nerve, and macula (inside
of your eyes), we need to dilate the pupils of your eye in most
cases. If you have never had your pupils dilated, you may wish to
have a driver the first time. Most patients, however, are able to
drive after this procedure</p>

<h3>LASIK</h3>

<p><strong>What is LASIK, and how is it done?</strong><br />
 LASIK is a surgical procedure that is capable of correcting a wide
range of nearsightedness (myopia), farsightedness (hyperopia) and
astigmatism.</p>

<p><strong>What does the name of the LASIK procedure
mean?</strong><br />
 LASIK is the acronym for laser in situ keratomileusis, sometimes
referred to as laser assisted in situ keratomileusis. The name
refers the use of a laser to reshape the cornea without invading
the adjacent cell layers. In situ is Greek for "in the natural or
normal place." Medically, in situ means confined to the site of
origin without invasion of neighboring tissues. Kerato is the Greek
word for cornea and mileusis means "to shape."</p>

<p><strong>Who can LASIK benefit?</strong><br />
 LASIK can benefit a great number of people with myopia, hyperopia
and astigmatism. Candidates should have a strong desire to be less
dependent on corrective lenses, have established realistic
expectations, and understand the risks associated with the
surgery.</p>

<p><strong>Who can't have LASIK?</strong><br />
 There are a number of factors that doctors must evaluate before
they can determine who is an eligible candidate for LASIK. Some
doctors deem certain pre-existing conditions contraindications to
the procedure and will not perform surgery if you possess them.
Sometimes, factors exist that preclude a patient from being an
ideal candidate for LASIK surgery. In many cases, a surgeon may
still be able to safely perform the procedure, given that the
patient and physician have adequately discussed the risks and
benefits and set realistic expectations for results.</p>

<p><strong>If I'm not eligible for LASIK, are there other options
available to me?</strong><br />
 LASIK is only one type of refractive surgery available to
patients. Although you may not be eligible for LASIK, you may be
eligible for a different procedure. You would need to discuss your
options with your ophthalmologist. For more information on these
options, please see our Refractive Surgeries section.</p>

<p><strong>I am happy with my contact lenses. Should I pursue
having LASIK?</strong><br />
 Most surgeons agree that if you are comfortable wearing contact
lenses and are not bothered by being dependent on them, you should
carefully evaluate the risks and benefits of LASIK. For more
information, please see our Eligibility section.</p>

<p><strong>What results can I expect from LASIK?</strong><br />
 LASIK improves the uncorrected vision - one's vision without
wearing corrective lenses - in most patients who have the
procedure. Over 90% of patients with low to moderate myopia will
achieve 20/40 vision, which is considered the minimum allowed by
most states and provinces to drive without having to wear contacts
or glasses. Over half of all patients can expect to achieve 20/20
vision or better. However, there are no guarantees that you will
have perfect vision, and patients with high myopia (more than -7D)
and high hyperopia (more than +4D) should have a different set of
expectations. People who are most satisfied with the results of
laser correction possess realistic expectations of what their
vision will be like after surgery. For more information, please see
our Expectations section.</p>

<p><strong>Will my vision be as crisp after LASIK?</strong><br />
 Patients need to understand that 20/20 vision after LASIK might be
different from 20/20 with corrective lenses. Some people describe
the images they see post-operatively as not being as "crisp"" as
those seen through glasses. To learn more about crisp vision,
please see our Expectations section.</p>

<p><strong>How long will it take before I can see well, and how
long will it take before I have my best vision?</strong><br />
 Fast visual recovery characterizes this operation. Most patients
achieve good vision the day of surgery and find that their eyes
feel fairly normal within a day. However, vision can continue to
improve, and best vision can still take two to three months to
occur. If necessary, adjustments to the surgery called enhancements
can be done. Patients who undergo hyperopic LASIK often need to
wait longer to able to see clearly. Typically, they are unable to
see with intense clarity for one or two weeks, with best vision
coming in several months post-operatively. For more information on
this subject, please see our Expectations section.</p>

<p><strong>Will I need to wear glasses or bifocals once my eyes
have healed?</strong><br />
 Most patients who have LASIK do not need to wear glasses for their
daily activities. However, patients may need to wear reading
glasses if they are over the age of 40. This is caused by the
normal aging of the eye known as presbyopia. This condition occurs
with or without LASIK. Some patients may need a minimal
prescription for some activities. Those patients who currently have
bifocals will still need reading glasses after the surgery unless
they opt for a treatment plan called monovision, wherein one eye is
corrected for distance and the other for near vision. For more
information, please see our Expectations section.</p>

<p><strong>Are the results achieved from LASIK
permanent?</strong><br />
 LASIK is a surgical procedure that permanently removes corneal
tissue to reshape the eye in order to improve refraction. The
physical results are permanent. However, you should be aware that
since the eyes can still change with time, and LASIK does not
affect a number of visual conditions associated with age. For
example, LASIK does not prevent presbyopia or affect this condition
once it does occur.</p>

<p><strong>Does the LASIK procedure hurt?</strong><br />
 Patients are given a topical anesthetic (eye drops) to numb the

<p>Remember when you had only two choices in contact lenses? "Hard"
(rigid gas permeable) lenses were best for crisp, clear vision, but
were often irritating and uncomfortable. Soft lenses were the most
comfortable, but often provided less-than-optimal vision. Now, a
technological breakthrough makes having to choose a thing of the
past.</p>

<p>SynergEyes® hybrid contact lenses offer the best of both worlds.
The soft skirt offers all day comfort while the "breathable" rigid
center keeps eyes healthy while providing crisp, clear vision…even
at night.</p>

<p>SynergEyes® offers a wide variety of hybrid contact lenses to
meet your visual needs. Whether you have Astigmatism, need vision
correction for distance, close up, reading or to help correct
keratoconus, SynergEyes® contact lenses will provide you with
comfortable and crisp vision all day long.</p>
