Of course! You can also use lenses and glasses interchangeably. However, it may be necessary to wear glasses occasionally. Choosing the right lens power and deciding to replace glasses with lenses should be left to a specialist. Based on the examination and conversation with the patient, the specialist will help select the right type of contact lenses.

Of course! Both glasses and contact lenses are good ways to improve vision quality and enjoy a clear image every day. You can use them interchangeably. The solution you choose should depend not only on convenience, but also on health factors. During the optometric consultation, you will find out whether there are any contraindications to using glasses or lenses.

Yes. Nowadays there are many different types of lenses that allow people with astigmatism to achieve very good results in vision correction. They differ from standard lenses mainly in shape – these are toric lenses, not spherical ones. Thanks to this unique shape, toric lenses fit the shape of the cornea better and can have different powers in different parts of the lens, which is very important for this visual defect. Such lenses are usually made of a soft silicone hydrogel material.

Of course! Presbyopia affects more and more people over 40. It results from the progressive weakening of the muscles responsible for the eye's ability to accommodate. The eye lens swells, hardens, and loses its natural elasticity. This manifests as a progressive deterioration in vision quality – both up close and at a distance. Contact lenses developed to correct presbyopia are called progressive or multifocal lenses. Their most characteristic feature is that they provide clear vision both up close and at a distance – so that the user can enjoy maximum comfort in all everyday situations without having to switch between two pairs of glasses: one for near vision and one for distance vision.

Contact lenses can be worn from a young age. Before deciding whether your child can wear contact lenses, it is worth answering the following questions:

Is the child responsible enough?

Do they learn easily?

Do they fulfill their responsibilities regularly and remember them?

Will they be able to put in and take out their contact lenses correctly, even when tired?

Will they follow the instructions for wearing and cleaning the lenses?

A positive answer to these questions suggests that this form of vision correction can be considered. However, the final decision as to whether it is a good time to start wearing contact lenses is made by the specialist based on the contact lens fitting examination.
