Soft Contact Lenses in Doral
What Are Soft Contact Lenses?
Soft lenses are flexible lenses made from water-containing materials that conform to the shape of the eye.
They're the most common type of contact lens for everyday vision correction.
Who May Be a Candidate?
They may be considered for many people who want an alternative or complement to glasses. Whether they're right for you depends on your prescription, ocular surface and habits.
- Correcting distance or near vision
- Sports and outdoor activities
- Occasional or daily wear, depending on the case
How Do They Work?
The lens rests on the cornea and part of the sclera, floating on the tear film. Its prescription corrects how light focuses in the eye.
