Why Our Eye Doctor Recommends Contact Lenses for Dry Eyes

Here at Family Vision Clinic Farmington in Farmington, MN, we take eye care seriously. Conditions that worry our eye doctor and her associates are conditions that can lead to other issues. For instance, dry eye disease can cause difficulty seeing properly. That's why our optometrist recommends contract lenses for dry eyes when possible.

Dry Eye Disease

Dry eye is common. It can be due to prolonged computer screen time or living in environments with low humidity. Certain medicines and aging can also contribute to dry eye.

In some situations, wearing the wrong type of contact lenses causes dry eye, specifically if worn for too long. The reason is some lenses absorb water from the eye's surface. The longer you wear them the greater the risk of long-term issues. However, our Farmington office has a solution for you.

Our eye doctor, who is also a licensed optometrist, knows the types of soft contact lenses to maximize your eye care. Once diagnosed, we'll work with you to find a pair that fits your budget. Our eye doctor recommends different ways to keep your eyes moist for the best vision possible.

Come into our Farmington office for a full examination and lens fitting. Once done, we provide you with a set of temporary contacts to use until your new ones arrive. If there are issues, then our doctor makes further adjustments for the perfect fit.
