Contact Lenses

As an alternative to glasses and refractive surgery, contact lenses are a great method for optically correcting myopia (nearsighted), hyperopia (farsighted), and presbyopia (need for bifocals). Following a comprehensive eye examination, our optometrist will determine if you are a candidate for contact lenses and recommend the appropriate lens based on your lifestyle and visual needs.

A contact lens is a foreign body placed onto the front part of your eye, called the cornea; it interacts with both the inner tissue of your eyelid and your tears. The FDA considers contact lenses to be a medical device that can only be dispensed by prescription. In 2004, a law was passed that set the expiration date of contact lens prescriptions at 1 year.

At Berks Eye, we prescribe various types of contact lenses to correct for myopia/hyperopia, astigmatism, presbyopia (multifocals), keratoconus, aphakia, and certain corneal disorders or injuries including:

• Soft Contact Lenses(Daily, Bi-Weekly, Monthly, Quarterly, and Yearly)
• Gas Permeable Contact Lenses
• Corneal Refractive Therapy(Paragon CRT)
• Colored Contact Lenses
• Therapeutric Contact Lenses
