FAQs

What brand contact lenses do Vision Express use? ›

Why choose Vision Express. As well as our own exclusive brands, we have contact lenses from leading providers, including CooperVision and Johnson & Johnson.

Your doctor can perform an eye test to gauge exactly what you need and help you decide what kind of contact lenses are right for you, your vision and your lifestyle. Contact lenses aren't the right answer for everyone, and an optometrist can let you know if they aren't something you should try.

Silicone hydrogel lenses allow even more oxygen through to the eye than “regular” hydrogels, and also dehydrate less when worn for longer durations. They're thought to be the most advanced soft lenses available. As for RGP lenses, they're also made of plastic—it's just a more rigid kind.

Soft contact lenses are a popular choice of lens. Made from plastic and water, these lenses allow oxygen to pass through to your cornea. Soft lenses are also comfortable and moisten your eyes to help reduce dry eyes.

It is crucial because not all contact lenses are usually made the same. Some brands might not have the right fit or power for your eyes. It could lead to discomfort or damage to your eyes. So, ensure you have a recent prescription from your eye doctor before shopping around for contact lenses.

Your type of vision problem will determine the shape of your lens. You'll need a concave lens (curves inward) if you're nearsighted. A convex lens (curves outward) will help if you're farsighted. If you have astigmatism, your cornea is shaped wrong, so your lenses may be more like a cylinder.

Buying your contacts online is just as safe as buying them in person, as long as you purchase from a reputable seller. All of our recommended websites feature the same brands of contacts that you'd find at an optical shop, including Acuvue and Bausch & Lomb.

Specialty lenses have some advantages over standard contact lenses, such as: They can provide better vision quality and comfort for patients with complex eye conditions. They can last longer and require fewer frequent replacements than soft lenses.
