Contact lenses are small lenses that are in "contact" with your eyes. They are designed to correct refractive errors and keep your eyes healthy. The lenses are in the tear film on the cornea. Modern contact lenses are small lenses worn over the cornea of the eye. Modern contact lenses whether soft or hard. Most people wear soft contact lenses, but it wasn't that long ago that lenses were made of glass. Colored contact lenses can make your eyes more intense or completely change the color of your eyes, and costume contact lenses can help create special effects seen on the big screen.
What is the difference between glasses and contact lenses?
Unlike glasses, contact lenses do not limit the field of vision. With glasses, the field of vision is limited, causing people to have to turn their head to see something from the side.
Can I sleep in contact lenses?
Modern soft contact lenses allow enough oxygen to the eye, but when you sleep, your eyes are closed and, therefore, the access of oxygen to them is reduced.
What are the harms of contact lenses?
Prolonged contact lens wear causes the cornea to thin (keratocytes lose their ability to synthesize new tissue). This can happen even with proper lens wear 3-5 years after use. In the case of reaction to hypoxia (lack of oxygen), the main complication is the formation of new blood vessels.

I've been here three times in 2020, with the last trip coming today, October 27th, and I can say the service here was excellent. Cindy at the front desk is knowledgeable, helpful and expedient, and Dr. Lo made sure I got the right prescription by scheduling one follow-up and writing both my contacts and glasses prescriptions once I confirmed I was comfortable with the new fit. Recommended, and I'll be back for future eye care appointments. Cheers!

I have been going to Oakland Vision Center for years and have always had a great experience. Dr. Gill is fantastic, but the staff is also very friendly and helpful in all areas -- from helping you choose new glasses to making sure you understand your insurance and coverage to any other questions you might have, they're attentive and knowledgeable. Highly recommend giving them a try.
