Q: I have eye allergies, are daily contact lenses better for me than monthlies?
A: The main benefits of daily disposable contact lenses are comfort, convenience and eye health; it's often worthwhile even though they cost a little more. Daily lenses only stay in your eyes for one day, and then get thrown away, eliminating any buildup of bacteria on the lenses that could cause infections or allergic reactions. So for patients who suffer from allergies, dailies are better than monthlies.
Q: What's the best way to select a good pair of eyeglasses? Can I get a top designer brand and get the best protection for my eyes?
A: Tom Ford is one of the most sought-after and innovative styles in our dispensary. We appreciate the quality of the frame. I'm very particular when it comes to eyewear comfort, and Tom Ford frames have been a pleasant surprise. They say each frame is handmade and that it takes 100 days to assemble each pair! Our clients say they love how light Tom Fords feel on their face, and they offer a very clean, distinctive look, without much brand-advertising on the frame itself.
Q: Are there some every day activities that can cause Dry Eye?
A: Having heaters or fans that blow in your face, not drinking enough water or eating enough fruits & vegetables, smoking, wearing contact lenses that aren't a good match for your eyes, and using a computer for a long time without remembering to blink, can exacerbate dry eye symptoms.
