Traditional Eyeglasses VS Contact Lenses

If you need to improve your vision, there are a number of options open to you, including eyeglasses and contact lenses. These methods are effective and comfortable for many people. At Dr. Philip Dixon, O.D. in Reedley, CA, our team of experts can help you decide which form of corrective eyewear is best for you and your lifestyle.

Contact Lenses

Many people wear contact lenses every day and enjoy the way they work. They may not be for everyone, but they come with several advantages. They are simple to wear. Once you put them in, you don't need to even think about them again until you need to remove them. There are different types of contacts depending on how long you want to wear them. Contacts are also great for active lifestyles. If you do a lot of vigorous exercise, contacts are probably a better choice for you, as they don't fall out or become foggy. We also offer colored lenses or lenses for those who have eye health issues. Our eye doctor can tell you which lenses are best for you.

Eyeglasses

If you don't like the process of inserting and removing contacts, or you can't stand to touch your eye, eyeglasses may be a better option for you. They do need to be cleaned regularly, but they can also be easily taken off anywhere you are. For people who only need glasses to read, it's far easier to put them on whenever you care to in order to read. Many people also like the way that eyeglasses look and use them as part of their signature style. The frames can be used as a way to balance your features.
