Contact Lenses

Appleton Contact Lenses

Contact lenses are a convenient and versatile alternative to traditional lenses and frames. Contacts are often less restrictive and provide you with a more natural field of vision. Our optometrist has over a decade of experience helping people find the right contact lenses for their lifestyle and their vision needs. 

Call our Appleton office at (920) 717-4299 today. We routinely serve people in Green Bay and throughout both Outagamie and Brown counties.

Types of Contacts and Their Benefits

There are several different options for contact lenses, each with its own advantages. When you visit our office, we’ll take the time to listen to your needs and help you pick the solution that will work best for you. 

Your choices include: 

Hard Contact Lenses

Hard contact lenses, also known as rigid gas-permeable lenses, offer excellent vision clarity, especially for those with astigmatism or irregular corneas. These durable and long-lasting lenses allow oxygen to pass through to the eye, promoting better eye health and comfort.

Soft Contact Lenses

Soft contact lenses are made from flexible plastics that allow oxygen to reach the cornea, providing superior comfort. They are ideal for active lifestyles as they fit snugly and are less likely to fall out during physical activities. 

Extended Wear Contact Lenses

Extended wear contact lenses are designed for overnight use, allowing you to wear them continuously for up to 30 days. This convenience is perfect for those with busy schedules or who prefer not to handle lenses daily. They are crafted from breathable materials to protect your eye health and comfort, even as you sleep.

Daily Wear Contact Lenses

Daily wear contact lenses are designed to be worn during waking hours and removed before sleep. These lenses are a hygienic choice as they are replaced frequently, reducing the risk of eye infections. With no cleaning required, daily disposables offer a hassle-free option for those new to contact lenses.

Colored Contact Lenses

Colored contact lenses allow you to change or enhance your natural eye color. They can be terrific for both special occasions and everyday wear. Available in prescription and non-prescription varieties, they provide you with the opportunity for personal expression.

Transitioning from Glasses to Contact Lenses

Switching from glasses to contact lenses can seem daunting initially, but with the right guidance and information, the transition can be smooth and rewarding. 

The first step is a comprehensive eye examination followed by a decision on which type of contact lens you want. Once you've selected your lenses, learning to insert and remove them becomes a simple routine with practice.

The benefits of contact lenses become apparent as you experience the freedom of a glasses-free lifestyle. Without frames obstructing your peripheral vision, activities like sports, dancing, or simply wearing sunglasses become more enjoyable. Moreover, contact lenses do not fog up or collect rain, offering clear vision in various weather conditions.

At Packerland Eyecare, we provide personalized instruction and support to help your transition to contact lenses be successful and stress-free.
