Why Choose Contact Lenses?

Contact lenses provide clear, natural vision without the hassle of glasses. They’re ideal for people with active lifestyles, athletes, and those who simply prefer a glasses-free look.

Today’s lenses are more comfortable and breathable than ever, with options designed to keep eyes hydrated, reduce glare, and provide all-day comfort. The key to successful contact lens wear is a proper fitting and evaluation to ensure your lenses fit comfortably and provide sharp, stable vision.

Contact Lens Exams and Fittings

A contact lens exam is different from a standard eye exam. While a routine eye exam checks overall vision and eye health, a contact lens fitting ensures your lenses:  

  • Match the shape of your cornea  
  • Allow enough oxygen to keep your eyes healthy  
  • Correct your vision accurately  
  • Feel comfortable all day  

A contact lens exam at Pico Rivera Optometric Center includes corneal measurements, tear film evaluation, and trial lens fitting to ensure you get the right lenses. If you’re new to contacts, we’ll also teach you how to insert, remove, and care for your lenses safely.

Types of Contact Lenses We Offer

Daily Disposable Lenses for Convenience and Comfort 

Daily disposable lenses are the easiest and most hygienic way to wear contacts. You wear them once and throw them away—no cleaning, cases, or hassle. These lenses are ideal for people with sensitive eyes, allergies, or those who don’t want the extra step of lens care.   

Many patients love daily lenses because they provide fresh, clean vision every day with no buildup of deposits or allergens. They’re perfect for occasional wearers, travelers, and anyone who prioritizes convenience.

Monthly and Bi-Weekly Contact Lenses 

For those who prefer a longer-lasting contact lens option, monthly and bi-weekly lenses offer a more budget-friendly choice. These lenses are worn daily and stored overnight in a cleaning solution, lasting two weeks or a month before needing replacement.  

Modern monthly and bi-weekly lenses are made with highly breathable materials that allow more oxygen to reach the eyes. They’re an excellent choice for consistent contact lens wearers who don’t mind a simple cleaning routine.

Toric Lenses for Astigmatism 

Astigmatism occurs when the cornea is irregularly shaped, causing blurry or distorted vision. Standard contact lenses often can’t correct this condition properly. Toric lenses are designed to stay stable on the eye, providing clear, consistent vision without shifting or rotating.  

If you’ve been told in the past that you can’t wear contact lenses due to astigmatism, toric lenses may be the perfect solution. Available in daily and monthly options, they provide comfortable vision correction.

Multifocal Lenses for Presbyopia 

If you’re over 40 and struggling with reading small print, multifocal contact lenses can provide seamless vision at all distances. Instead of switching between reading glasses and distance glasses, multifocal lenses allow you to see clearly up close, far away, and everywhere in between.  

These lenses are great for patients who want the convenience of contacts without the need for reading glasses. They come in soft daily and monthly options, making them a versatile choice for those adjusting to presbyopia.

Caring for Your Contact Lenses

Proper care and hygiene are essential for healthy contact lens wear. Here are a few key tips:  

  • Always wash your hands before handling lenses.  
  • Use the right cleaning solution—never rinse contacts with water.  
  • Follow your lens replacement schedule (daily, bi-weekly, or monthly).  
  • Avoid sleeping in lenses unless they are approved for it.  
  • Replace your contact lens case every 1 to 3 months to prevent bacteria buildup.

If you ever experience redness, irritation, or discomfort, remove your lenses and contact our office for an evaluation. Whether you need daily disposables, toric lenses for astigmatism, or multifocal contacts, we’re here to help.
