Contact Lenses From Your Mt. Pleasant Eye Doctor

At H. Arnold Papernick OD, our Mt. Pleasant eye doctor and optometry team always have your best interest in mind. If you have recently grown tired of your traditional eyeglasses, you may be thinking about switching to contact lenses. There are many benefits to doing so, after all. Before you make the switch, however, let our team help you in ensuring your transition to contacts is as smooth as possible.

Tips for Selecting the Right Contact Lenses

With so many different types of contact lenses, selecting the type that's right for you can be a challenge. That's why our team recommends that you come in for a contact lens exam and fitting so we can help you make the right choice to suit your needs, budget, and lifestyle. We can also assist you in getting to know how to properly insert, remove, and care for your new contacts.

One of the most important considerations you will want to keep in mind is how willing you are to care for and clean your contacts daily. If you think you will have trouble sticking with this habit, then daily contacts may be your best option. These disposable contacts don't require cleaning since you use a new pair each day, so they can save you a lot of time and hassle.

On the other hand, if you don't anticipate wearing contacts daily or aren't as put-off by regular cleaning and care, then reusable contact lenses may be a more practical option. These cut down on waste while also saving you some money in the long-run. Just keep in mind that cleaning them properly is extremely important if you want to avoid complications such as eye infections.
