Contacts Lenses vs. Traditional Glasses

We rely on our five senses to navigate the world. If one of these senses isn't functioning correctly, it can significantly affect your overall well-being. That is why it is imperative to take proper care of your eyesight. From annual eye exams to corrective lenses, our eye doctor can provide you with the appropriate care and guidance needed to keep your eyes healthy and decrease vision loss throughout your lifetime. Our team at Andrew Stone Optometry in Columbia offers patients the latest technology and treatment methods for facilitating quality eye care. We can help you determine if eyeglasses or contact lenses are right for you.

Eyeglasses

If it is determined that you need corrective lenses to have optimum eyesight, we will help you decide which glasses will work best with your face shape and what color frame goes with your skin, hair, and eye color. We also provide different kinds of coatings for your eyeglasses, such as anti-reflective codeine that helps cut down on glare spots. If you are both farsighted and nearsighted, you may benefit from bifocals or progressive lenses. We can go over all the different eyewear options we provide to find the best pair for you. Eyeglasses can improve your vision while also providing a fashionable accessory for your daily life.

Contact Lenses

Glasses can improve your vision, but they are not the only option. Patients often choose contacts over eyeglasses because contacts offer a more natural appearance. Typical contact lenses patients often choose are soft contact lenses. Patients find soft contact lenses very comfortable in their eyes and barely noticeable. Rigid gas permeable lenses can also help patients who suffer from dry eyes because they allow tears to get underneath them and form a cushioning layer between the lens and the eye. During your consultation, we will find the right pair for you.
