Contact Lenses

contacts eye close up woman 1280x853We offer a wide selection of contact lenses including disposable soft contact, bifocal/multifocal, toric, and colored lenses. Whether you wear daily, weekly or monthly disposables, or conventional (vial) lenses, check out our selection of lenses that fit your needs.

A good contact lens fit starts with a thorough eye exam to ensure the most up-to-date prescription and rule out any pre-existing conditions that could interfere with successful contact lens wear.

We will determine the best lens based on your lifestyle needs and the shape and health of your eye.

If you are an existing contact lens wearer wanting to try new contact lens design, you’ll often have the opportunity to try lenses on the same day as your exam. Patients who are new to contact lens wear will have a comprehensive eye examination first and then be scheduled for a contact lens teach with one of our staff followed by a thorough contact lens assessment and consultation session with their Guelph Eye Care doctor.

We follow up the initial fitting and then make any necessary changes in fit or materials to get you the best possible comfort and fit. We teach all our patients proper contact lens care and also possible consequences if proper care is not taken. Then we continue with long-term follow-up to monitor the condition of the lenses and to ensure that proper hygiene is being maintained.

  • We carry all of the top contact lens brands!
  • We have secure, online ordering of your contact lenses. Find out more.
  • Disposable contact lenses are generally considered to be far superior in comfort and wearability than hard and rigid lenses.
  • A routine exam won’t provide some of the measurements and testing that are required to determine if your eyes are suitable for contact lens wear, and to generate your contact lens Rx.
  • Fortunately for those who don’t like the look, feel or inconvenience of reading glasses, there is another option. Bifocal and multifocal lenses are also available in contact lenses in both soft and rigid varieties.
  • These rigid lenses aren’t as popular or well-known as soft lenses, but they offer the advantages of durability, crisp vision and high oxygen permeability.
  • Challenges such as astigmatism, presbyopia, keratoconus and dry eyes needn’t be a barrier to contact lens wear, but they do require more time and patience.
  • “I can’t wear soft contacts; I have astigmatism.” This once-true statement is now simply a myth.
