Mission Optometry has been fitting speciality contact lenses for years and have seen some incredible changes in that time. By far the most exicting changes have occurred in the last few years. Although rigid contact lenses are a shrinking segment of the industry, we still have a large number of patients who wear them.
The gas permeable lens materials available today far surpass those available just a few years ago in terms of eye health and comfort.
Allergies can be particularly annoying to contact lens wearers. In the past, many people had to quit waring their lenses for a month or two during the allergy season. New lens materials and allergy medications such as Patanol and Alocril are amazingly effective and safe in children as young as three.
