Find expert guidance to choose contact lenses in st. albert

Eyes are essential and require delicate care. When you smile, you don't want to hide that sparkle in your eyes behind glasses. Enhance your appearance and achieve clear vision with Dr. Holly Parker's guidance with contact lenses in St. Albert.
Contact lenses deliver a more natural field of vision and less visual distortion since they move with the eyes. They are great companions for sports, exercise, and other physical activities. Contact lenses are like saviours for both young and old who desperately want to remove their glasses.
However, contact lenses like prescription glasses require thorough eye exams to ensure correct vision, regular care, and maintenance. Dr. Holly Parker and her experienced team conduct eye exams before recommending contact lenses. Contact us to learn more about routine comprehensive check-ups, emergency eye care, and ocular evaluations.
CHOOSE THE RIGHT KIND OF CONTACT LENSES
With time, different contact lenses are available. You can choose any according to your preferences if you know about them well. Here you can learn more about their features:
Rigid Gas-Permeable Contact Lenses
Rigid gas-permeable contact lenses, feature semi-flexible plastic membranes that allow oxygen to pass through to the eye's surface, promoting comfort and breathability. They are relatively easy to care for and offer long-term use. However, one drawback is that they may easily slip away from the centre of the eye due to a lack of airtight suction caused by the semi-permeable membrane. For more information, please get in touch with Dr. Holly Parker.
​
Daily Soft Contact Lenses
Dr. Holly Parker offers daily soft contact lenses suitable for everyday use as bifocals and available in various tints. While they do not correct every type of vision disorder if diagnosed, they provide a flexible and comfortable option. It's important to note that they may offer a different level of sharpness than rigid gas-permeable contact lenses, and their flexibility makes them wear out more quickly, requiring more frequent replacement.
​
Extended-Use Contact Lenses
Dr. Holly Parker provides extended-wear contact lenses suitable for overnight and extended daytime use. These lenses, available in soft and rigid gas-permeable varieties, are designed to be worn for up to a month. However, it's important to note that regular visits with an optometrist are necessary to minimize the risk of complications.
Disposable Extended-Wear Contact Lenses
You can choose soft-style lenses designed for extended wear up to six days. These lenses come in bifocal styles, although they may not be suitable for correcting all ocular issues. While they can be worn for up to 30 days, it is recommended to shorten the wear time to reduce the risk of eye infection compared to 30-day extended-use contacts.
​
Soft Planned Replacement (Daily-Wear) Contact Lenses
You can also opt for soft planned replacement contact lenses, conveniently replaced bi-weekly, monthly, or quarterly, after consulting with your optometrist. These lenses are designed for extended wear, reducing the need for frequent cleaning and disinfecting. However, it's important to note that, like all soft contact lenses, they may provide a different level of clarity and address all vision issues as rigid lenses.
