Guide to contact lenses at lavue.ca

Whatever your reasons for wearing contact lenses and whatever your prescription, our optical experts can help you choose the perfect lenses. Of course, we'll help you select the contact lenses that best suit your needs, based on a number of factors including comfort, convenience and cost. Your eye health is always our priority.

Thanks to advances in optical technology, there's never been a better time to find contact lenses that are right for you.

types of contact lenses

Not all contact lenses are the same, as they are made to fit different prescriptions, different eye shapes, and even certain eye conditions. They can vary in many ways, i.e. the material used or the duration of use can vary depending on the model chosen.

Below are four different types of contact lenses. However, only your optometrist at LAVUE.CA will be able to advise you on the lenses best suited to your needs.

Daily disposable GLASSES

Daily disposable glasses are used to correct nearsightedness or farsightedness. It's the healthiest and most convenient way to wear contact lenses. You have a fresh, clear lens every day, without the need for lens care. They are perfect when you don't want to wear glasses and are worn on an occasional or daily basis.

Glasses

toric for astigmatism

Astigmatism is a common condition that affects many people, children and adults alike. This condition is caused by the shape of your eye and results in blurred or distorted vision at all distances. This varies with the strength of the astigmatism.

Toric contact lenses are specially designed to fit the shape of astigmatic eyes. They are available as daily disposable or reusable contact lenses.

Contact lenses

reusable

Twice- weekly contact lenses and monthly are used to correct nearsightedness or farsightedness. They are meant for everyday use, but rather than having to throw them away at the end of the day, they can be cleaned and stored until you wear them again. They are perfect if you are looking for budget contact lenses.

MULTIFOCAL LENSES

Multifocal contact lenses are ideal for people with presbyopia, an age-related condition that affects the majority of individuals. As the lens of your eye becomes less flexible, it becomes more difficult for you to focus on certain objects, whether near or far. The advanced optical technology used in multifocal lenses allows you to see both near and far.

Prescription

We have contact lenses for every lifestyle. You may spend time in the sun and want lenses with UV protection, or you may wear sunglasses but can't get them in your prescription. You might be an avid sportsman, tired of glasses that fall off or fog up. You might just be someone who doesn't want to wear glasses on a special occasion or a big night out.

Contrary to popular belief, contact lenses are not necessarily expensive. Indeed, they can be more affordable if you consider that a mount can be broken or lost. Consult an expert in-store to find the contact lenses that fit your budget.

It's amazing how many people stop wearing contact lenses because they don't think their prescription is appropriate. In fact, it's only very rarely that we can't find the perfect lens for your eyes. Astigmatism or the need for variable lenses are certainly no longer an obstacle to wearing contact lenses.
