Overview of Available Contact Lenses
From daily disposables to specialty lenses for unique vision needs, Louisiana Eye & Laser Center provides a complete range of contact lenses. Our goal is to match each patient with lenses that deliver comfort, clear vision, and convenience.
Daily Disposable Contact Lenses
Daily disposable lenses offer unparalleled convenience, as they can be discarded after each use, eliminating the need for cleaning solutions. These lenses are ideal for patients with busy lifestyles, allergies, or sensitivities.
Weekly Contact Lenses
Weekly disposable lenses offer a balance between convenience and cost-effectiveness. Designed to last about one to two weeks with proper cleaning and care, they are a great choice for those who want extended wear without monthly maintenance.
Monthly Disposable Contacts
Monthly lenses are designed for daily use over a month, offering a cost-effective and comfortable option for many. With proper cleaning, monthly disposables can be a reliable and clear choice for consistent wearers.
Contact Lenses for Astigmatism
Toric lenses for astigmatism correct specific vision issues by maintaining a stable fit on the eye, providing sharper vision. Louisiana Eye & Laser Center offers various toric options tailored to patients’ specific prescription needs.
Specialty Contact Lenses
For unique vision conditions, specialty lenses—like scleral and hybrid contacts—provide custom solutions. Our optometrists recommend these for patients with corneal irregularities, dry eye syndrome, or hard-to-fit prescriptions.
