What Are Contact Lenses?
After an eye exam, contact lenses are fitted by a certified contact lens specialist directly supervised by our ophthalmologists in New Hyde Park. We fit all types of common and specialty lenses. We carry all the top brands of contact lenses including Acuvue, Coopervision, Biomedics and Hydrogel as well as less common custom lenses. Daily disposables, biweekly disposables as well as planned replacement lenses are all available in powers that correct farsightedness, nearsightedness and astigmatism. For those of us over 40 years old that require both far and near prescriptions we offer monovision contacts, bifocal contacts and the newest progressive addition contact lenses. For patients that have corneal disease causing irregular corneas and poor vision we have available all types of rigid gas permeable(RGP) and hybrid lenses. RGP lenses will also give the clearest possible vision in patients with high levels of astigmatism.
