Contact Lenses for Everyoner
   by Scott Allison, O.D., Ossip Optometry Medical Director

Contact lenses can change peoples lives. Who is a potential candidate for contacts?  Everyone!

We can fit almost anyone with contacts.  The age range for contact can be from the 5 year old who won’t keep his glasses on to a 90 year old who has worn contacts for almost 40 years.

The perception among a lot of patients is that something prevents them from wearing contacts.  The truth is with new technological changes in contacts and your doctor’s ability to enhance your vision correction rarely should a patient not be able to wear contacts. The doctors of Ossip Optometry are able to fit any type of contact on anyone.  We specialize in contacts that you can wear daily, monthly, or continuously for up to 30 days. We can fit patients with astigmatism to bifocal needs.  We can even help you change your eye color.

Contact lenses are for everyone. If you are interested, make sure to ask your doctor.©
