At Arena Eye Care Optometry, our Sacramento eye doctor offers the comprehensive eye and vision care services that you need through all stages of life. We also offer a wide range of optical solutions, including contact lenses, right here in our office. If you've been thinking about making the switch to contact lenses, you should be aware of some of the myths that are floating around out there about this corrective vision solution.
One of the most common myths people tend to believe about contact lenses is that they're painful or uncomfortable to wear. The only way a pair of contact lenses should be uncomfortable is if they're inserted wrong, if they aren't clean, or if they're the wrong prescription.
When inserted and cared for properly, most people don't even notice that they're wearing contacts. And getting used to inserting and removing contacts is a lot easier than you might think; our optical team can provide you with some tips and guidance to boost your confidence in wearing them.
Another common myth people believe about contact lenses is that they're all more-or-less the same, but this couldn't be further from the truth. There are so many different types of contact lenses, including specialty lenses made for people with conditions like astigmatism that would prevent them from wearing traditional contacts.
Finally, don't fall for the myth that contact lenses are always more expensive than traditional eyeglasses. There are many ways to make contact lenses more affordable, especially if you have insurance. Therefore, you shouldn't let cost deter you from exploring this option if it's something you think may improve your life.
Now that you have a better understanding of contact lenses, maybe it's time to schedule a comprehensive contact lens exam with our Sacramento eye doctor.
