Contact Lens Options for Your Pediatric Patients
by: Steve Cogger
Pediatric patients are some of the most special patients we see in any practice. When infants present for contact lenses, we all know it is a medical necessity.
The practitioners at my practice believe that contact lenses should not be any more of a burden on the parents than they have to be. And let’s face it, inserting and removing lenses on an infant or a toddler is not an easy task for most.
Regardless, every parent or caregiver is instructed on the insertion and removal of their child’s contact lens. Despite our best efforts, some parents are still hesitant to perform this task at home. In these cases, the child is fit with an extended wear lens made of either soft silicone or an approved gas permeable material. We love watching these kids grow, so we have the parents bring in their child on prescribed schedule to have the lens removed, cleaned, and re-inserted.
Many of the children who have worn lenses in this modality are growing up with superb vision. Some are learning to insert and remove their own lenses as early as age 4! Close monitoring by both the contact lens fitters and the referring doctor leads to happy and successful patients.

Windshields and sunglasses may not offer the best protection that we need. This is because debris, wind, bugs or insects may still pass behind a windshield. On the other hand, sunglasses or goggles with shatterproof lenses may not seal out the harsh wind or water from entering our eyes.
Face shields cover all or a portion of our face. They come in a wide range of designs and colors. Face shields must allow airflow, easy breathing and prevent fogging.

How Do Colored Contact Lenses Work?
How Do Colored Contact Lenses Work?
by: Steve Cogger
The ability to change your eye color simply by
putting on a contact lens is becoming more popular
every day. Many people like them for fun and never
really care how colored contact lenses work. If
you are a little more inquisitive, read on and I
will tell you exactly how colored contact lenses
work.
The concept of colored contact lenses is to cover
the iris with a new color. In general, neat
colored contact lenses come in two varieties;
opaque colors and enhancement tints. Both designs

If You Want To See Like New, Do The Lasik Surgery
by: Ochi Ecelentia
Having Lasik Done is Like Getting a New Pair of Eyes.
There it was, an ad in the paper for Lasik surgery only $299 per eye. I had wanted to give my wife the surgery as a present since I first heard about it and now with the lower price, I was going to do it. We set up an appointment and found out she was a candidate for the surgery.
Unfortunately, my wife had a severe astigmatism which increased the cost of the surgery from $299 per eye to $799 per eye. Business was good and I was committed so we made the decision to go ahead. The doctor would be using the Visix laser due to the astimatism. The visix laser was more accurate and therefore more expensive.
Even thought it was more expensive than we had planned we decided to go ahead with the procedure. The surgery would be performed in about 2 weeks.
Before I knew it, the day came for the surgery. We were...
