CONTACT LENS SERVICES @ CHAITHANYA

Many people have switched from wearing eye glasses to contact lenses. Having the same prescription strength as eye glasses, contact lenses are a better option for people who lead an active life style. However, because every eye has a unique shape, there is no one- style – fits all option when it comes to either prescription or cosmetic contact lenses. Chaithanya Eye Hospital Research Institute offers the most cutting edge contact lenses services available.

To provide our customers with excellent eye care services our ophthalmic consultants will accurately measure the size and curvature of your eye and examine your cornea to ensure the correct fit of contact lenses. Our comprehensive eye examinations are designed to evaluate your needs and recommend the appropriate product, material and style for optimal comfort.

In general, staff in our contact lens service treat patients whose vision cannot be improved with spectacles, but can be improved with contact lenses.

Can anybody wear contact lenses?
Almost everyone can wear contact lenses. There are many special lenses available today.

Soft Lenses/ Rigid Glass Permeable (RGP) Lenses?
One lens is not better than other. There are advantages to both the lenses. During your consultation with our ophthalmologist, they shall evaluate your needs and make a recommendation respectively.

Age Factor to Start Wearing Contact Lenses?
Fittings for cosmetic reasons are usually best left until 13 to 15 years of age unless there is a specific sport requirement. In children, the age is based on when the child practices good hygiene (without nagging) and is mature enough to understand its importance of contact lens care. There are many patients over 60 who are first time contact lens wearers. Lenses can continue to be worn as long as no handling or eye health issues develop.
