Daily lenses are replaced every day, making them a convenient and hygienic option for many patients. They are especially helpful for patients with allergies, dryness, or busy lifestyles.

Reusable contact lenses are worn during the day and replaced on a scheduled basis, such as every two weeks or monthly, depending on the lens. They require proper cleaning, disinfection, and storage each night and can be a convenient and cost-effective option for many contact lens wearers.

Astigmatism doesn't mean you can't wear contact lenses. Toric contact lenses are specially designed to correct astigmatism while providing clear, stable vision throughout the day. Available in both daily disposable and reusable options, our doctors can help determine the right lens based on your prescription, eye shape, comfort, and lifestyle.

Multifocal lenses can help patients who need both distance and near vision correction, reducing dependence on reading glasses.

For responsible children and teens, contact lenses may be a great option for school, sports, dance, or special activities. For children with progressive myopia, we also offer specialized contact lenses such as MiSight® 1 day as part of our personalized myopia management program.

At Eyes on LA Optometry, we offer specialized contact lens fittings including corneal rigid gas permeable (RGP) lenses and scleral contact lenses. These lenses can provide improved vision by creating a more regular optical surface over the cornea and are often an excellent option for patients with keratoconus or other irregular corneal conditions.

Our doctors take detailed measurements of your eyes and customize the fitting process to determine which lens design provides the best combination of vision, comfort, and eye health for your individual needs.

We can evaluate what may have caused problems in the past and explore different lens options, including specialty lenses when appropriate.

We recommend removing contact lenses before sleeping unless you have been specifically prescribed a lens approved for overnight wear and instructed by your eye doctor to wear it that way. Sleeping in contact lenses can increase the risk of eye irritation and infection, so always follow the wear schedule recommended for your specific lenses.
