Contact Lenses and Low Vision
Most of us will get a visual acuity test at least once in our lifetime. Nowadays, visual problems are more common than ever, mainly because of our lifestyle. Unlike early nomads, we have many processed foods in our diet, tend to look at closer objects instead of the horizon, and read small print, sometimes with inappropriate illumination. All of this creates an increase in our predisposition to myopia and other visual problems.
However, the industrialized world that contributes to the problem is also a source of reliable solutions. We have eyeglasses and contact lenses and won’t notice any visual alteration while using them.
Are contact lenses appropriate for you?
In most cases, contact lenses are recommended to people who need to wear lenses with a high or relatively high formula. They can be adapted to myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism and give you a clear appearance. Some people like eyeglasses, but others prefer not to change their style and choose contact lenses. But are they appropriate for you?
Contact lenses are suitable for all ages, and you have different types, including disposable lenses, monthly contact lenses, and much more. In our Eye Consultants Clinic, we will assist you in making the right choice.
However, it is essential to consider if you’re responsible enough to wear contact lenses. They need special care. Otherwise, they can carry diseases and turn into a real problem. So, be prepared to include disinfecting in your regular schedule and talk to your doctor if you have any new visual symptoms.
What is low vision?
Low vision is commonly mistaken with myopia and hyperopia, but it is not the same thing. This condition can’t be corrected using contact lenses or eyeglasses. Electronic aids, magnifiers, and high-powered spectacles can be used to aid low vision instead.
In Eye Consultants Center, you will have a complete assessment to know if you have low vision instead of common refraction problems. If that’s the case, we will help you choose the best low vision aid according to your condition.
