One Hour Opt (Denver, CO 80222-4029)

• What kind of goggles should I get?

  You can try Anon goggles. Each Anon goggles model also has a variety of frames and lenses. The five models are: Helix, Realm, Figment, Subrosa and Solace. All Anon goggles feature interchangeable strap technology. This technology allows you to easily swap straps between Solace, Realm, Figment etc… Anon goggles also have anti-fog style, which combats lens fogging and delivering clearer vision in foggy weather conditions.

• What are the risks of wearing Extended Contacts?

  Although extended contacts are designed for long time wearing, it is still not always safe to wear them. Extended contacts still need to be cleaned regularly and if not, the opportunity for growth of bacteria would increase, which can endanger the health of the eye.

• How long does it take to get used to hard lens?

  It does feel uncomfortable when you first wear hard contacts. You can try to increase the wearing time like 15 or 30 mimutes or day by day, but don't make big jumps, then you should wear them longer.

• Are color blind people able to see at night?

  Yes, color blind people can still see things at night. the lack of color vision should not effect the ability to see in the dark. But the world in their eyes is gray.

• Do contact lenses only come in one size?

  NO, contact lenses can come in different size. Usually contacts for astigmatism are larger than normal contacts. Also the thickness can be different to fit your eyes because people have different base curves.

• Are there extended wear contacts for astigmatism?

  Yes. There are a wide variety of contact lenses available for astigmatism, including hard, soft and extended wear. You can go to your nearby optical store to ask. But extended contacts are not always safe to wear although they are designed for long time wearing.

• Is it normal for astigmatism contact lenses harder in the middle than the outsides?

  YES, it is just that type. Lenses for astigmatism ( toric lenses) are all like that. I think they are more easy to wear than regular soft contacts as they are harder in the middle part.

• Is it hard to get vision insurance if you already have glasses?

  No, it is not like that. If people wearing glasses can't apply for vision insurance, there is no point for it. Vision insurance only covers the cost of an annual eye exam and glasses/contacts out over the course of a years premiums. They wont even ask you whats the problem with your eyes when you apply for it.
