Whether you are exploring contacts for the first time or updating your prescription, we offer customized fittings and a variety of lenses to meet your specific needs.
Types of Contact Lenses
There are several types of contact lenses available, each designed to address different vision requirements:
- Soft contact lenses: the most common type, available in daily, biweekly, and monthly wear.
- Toric lenses: made for people with astigmatism, providing stable and clear vision.
- Multifocal lenses: help correct presbyopia by allowing you to see clearly at multiple distances.
- Rigid gas permeable lenses: provide sharp vision and are often used for certain corneal conditions.
- Colored contact lenses: enhance or change your natural eye color for cosmetic purposes.
The Benefits of Contact Lenses
Contact lenses offer a wider field of view compared to glasses, making them ideal for sports and other physical activities. They do not fog up, get splashed by rain, or interfere with headgear, which makes them more convenient for everyday use. Advances in lens technology have also improved comfort, even for those with dry or sensitive eyes.

A proper fitting is essential for clear vision and to protect your eyes. At Wichita Optometry, P.A., we evaluate your eye health, shape, and vision needs to recommend the best lens type. We also provide clear instructions on how to insert, remove, clean, and store your lenses.
