Contact Lenses

Consider the Following:

• Corneal infections are some of the most difficult infections to treat. 10% of corneal infections result in significant vision loss (more than 2 lines of vision)^1,2
• The incidence of ulcerative microbial keratitis (one of the more common corneal infections) associated with contact lens use increases 5-10 times when contacts are worn for extended periods, or beyond the recommended schedule²
• Contact lens wearers who sleep in their lenses are eight times more likely to develop a corneal infection ²
• Following the manufacturers recommended replacement schedule results in less debris accumulation on the lens, less complications, and much improved comfort. For those who are good candidates, we strongly recommend trying two week disposables or even daily disposables-no hassle, no cleaning, less complications, improved comfort
• Using the recommended cleaning schedule, coupled with correct multipurpose contact lens solutions, greatly reduces the risk of complications
• Annual supplies or high frequency replacement lenses often include a discount or rebate of at least 10%. Considering that you’ll be buying these lenses eventually anyway, annual supply orders are more cost effective. In addition, annual supply orders always include free shipping direct to you. They’ll be no need to come in to pick up the contacts
• OptiVision’s pricing policy on contact lenses is competitive with the pricing of major retailers and online wholesalers. Considering the reduced hassle when compared to online wholesalers’ prescription verification requirements, as well as the level of care, support and expertise you’ll receive buying your contacts directly through us, the value of buying your contacts directly from us is real
