What Are Contact Lenses and Eyeglasses?

Contact lenses and eyeglasses are used to correct a range of vision problems, including nearsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism, and age-related vision changes, helping you see clearly and comfortably in your daily life. Whether you prefer the convenience of glasses or the flexibility of contacts, the right option starts with an accurate prescription. At Modern Family Vision, we’re here to help you find the best vision solution for your needs. Call us in Allen, TX today to schedule a comprehensive vision exam with one of our optometric specialists and explore the eyewear options that work best for you.

How Do I Get Contact Lenses or Eyeglasses?

Getting contact lenses or eyeglasses begins with a comprehensive eye exam to evaluate your vision and determine your exact prescription. During the exam, your eye care specialist will also assess your overall eye health and discuss your daily habits and preferences to recommend the most suitable corrective option. If you're considering contact lenses, a detailed fitting and additional measurements will ensure proper comfort and safety. For eyeglasses, you'll have access to a wide variety of stylish frames and custom-cut lenses, all conveniently crafted through our in-house lab for quicker turnaround and precision. With so many options available, our expert team is here to guide you every step of the way toward clear, comfortable vision tailored to your needs.

What Can I Expect After Contact Lenses and Eyeglasses?

After receiving your new eyeglasses or contact lenses, you can expect a brief adjustment period as your eyes and brain adapt to the clearer vision. Initially, some people might experience mild discomfort or a feeling of "visual strangeness," but this typically subsides within a few days. Our team will provide you with detailed instructions on how to care for your new eyewear or contacts, including cleaning routines and wear schedules. We'll also schedule a follow-up appointment to ensure that you're completely satisfied with your new vision solution. With proper care and a little time, you'll soon be enjoying a sharper, more comfortable view of the world.

Am I A Candidate For Contact Lenses and Eyeglasses?

Most people who experience refractive errors such as blurred vision at a distance, difficulty reading fine print, or distorted sight due to astigmatism are excellent candidates for corrective eyewear. Candidates include children needing support for school performance, professionals who spend long hours in front of digital screens, and active individuals looking for contact lenses. During a consultation at Modern Family Vision, we evaluate the unique health of your eyes and your specific lifestyle demands to determine which corrective method will provide you with the most clarity and comfort.

Modern Family Vision Reviews

The office staff were very accommodating, helpful, respectful and pleasant to deal with. They always made checking in and out easy and hassle-free. As always, Dr Wysinger was great, professional, very personable and detail-oriented. He always has his patient’s best interest at heart. He took his time in telling us his diagnoses, explained everything in detail and recommended solutions. He makes you feel positive and at ease about your condition, no matter what it is.

I’ve been seeing Dr. Leazure at Modern Family Vision for the past 20+ years and I’m always impressed with the time she spends with me and my family explaining everything in detail. The equipment is up to date, in fact this last time I didn’t even need a puff or dilation to check my eye pressure. Top notch.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will my vision insurance cover contacts and glasses?

Most vision insurance plans offer some level of coverage for either contact lenses or eyeglasses, and some may cover both. Our team at Modern Family Vision in Allen, TX can help you understand your benefits and make the most of your plan.

Can I switch between contacts and glasses?

Many people alternate between contact lenses and eyeglasses based on their daily routine or comfort level. For instance, some prefer contacts for sports or outdoor activities and glasses for home or screen time. Your prescription will work for both options.

How often should I update my prescription?

Most prescriptions for glasses and contact lenses are valid for one year. It's recommended to have an annual eye exam to ensure your prescription remains accurate and to check for any changes in your vision or eye health.

Can I wear contact lenses if I have astigmatism?

Yes, there are specialized contact lenses, known as toric lenses, designed specifically for people with astigmatism. These lenses are made to address the irregular shape of the cornea that causes distorted or blurred vision. During your fitting, we will find the right toric lens to provide you with clear and stable sight.
