Contact Lenses FAQs

Whether you are new to contact lenses or have worn them before, wearing them consistently without issues can be challenging. However, at Dr. Dorothy Park & Associates in Columbia, SC, we can help. Our optometry team will guide you on how to properly wear contacts. Here are some commonly asked questions about contacts. 

Contact Lenses FAQs

How Do I Get Contacts?

If you want to wear contacts, you will need an eye exam. Our eye doctor will make sure your eyes are healthy and fit you for contacts. We will help you choose the right lenses for your lifestyle. Our team will have you try contacts to see how they feel. Then, you and one of our practitioners can determine together if contact lenses are right for you. 

Should I Try to Wear Contact Lenses if I Failed before?

Lenses continue to advance and become easier to wear. There are several types of contact lenses to meet your specific eye needs and get fitted for if you have had no success in the past. 

Are All Contact Lenses the Same?

No. There are many types of lenses, so you will need to be fitted. You can also choose daily disposable lenses, extended wear contacts, and more. If you have an eye health condition, you may need to wear specialty lenses so they are more comfortable.

Is there an Age Restriction for Contact Lenses?

Modern lenses allow for people of all ages to wear contact lenses. Different lenses accommodate both nearsighted and farsighted patients. In addition, lenses are often replaced, and there is no need to wait until your eyes have stopped changing.

Are Contact Lenses Comfortable?

Contact lenses are comfortable. You may feel them in your eye at first, but with time you will get used to the sensation. You'll be able to experiment with different types and fittings to suit your preferences. Many people do not like the idea of putting something into their eyes, but we can show you the proper technique for inserting and taking out your lenses.
