Contacts

Parents spend many years looking forward to a time when their children will be more independent. It’s difficult to care for one or more little people and still care for yourself! When children start growing into teenagers and young adults, parents often agonize over when their children are ready for these newer and greater responsibilities. One question we are often asked is, “What is the right age for contacts?”

Millions of people wear contact lenses to help them see clearly. We’ve seen many advancements in lens materials and designs over the years. If you have tried contacts in the past, but stopped due to discomfort or poor quality, it may be time to try again. our doctors will help select the best option for your eyes! We have a variety of options for your specific type of prescription correction, tear production, lifestyle, and more. Contact us at Monroe Vision Clinic to learn more.

Due to the size of contact lenses and their packaging, the materials from contact lens packing get filtered out at recycling facilities and directed to the waste stream, contributing to landfills across the United States. TerraCycle and Bausch + Lomb have partnered to create a free recycling program for all brands of contact lenses and blister packs.
