Soft lenses: All soft lenses may look alike but they actually have little in common. Some differences include their water content, oxygen permeability, shape and UV filter. 10/10 Optics will determine the best fitting lens based on your lifestyle needs, the shape and health of your eye. In most cases you’ll have the opportunity to try a soft lens on the same day as your exam. You can even go home with a few samples before making a final decision.

Rigid lens: The healthiest choices for long term wear is a rigid lens. Because hard lenses float on a tear layer, they allow for a more efficient (and more comfortable) removal of waste build-up from the cornea, including carbon dioxide, lactic acid, dead cells and bacteria. Soft lenses seal the cornea (like plastic wrap) and are not as efficient in waste removal, often resulting in dryness, redness, blurry vision and reduced wear time comfort.

The Next “Wave” in Contact Lenses: Custom Designed
Just as no two fingerprints are alike; your eyes have an individual, distinct shape and texture. Now Dr. Rozenberg can design your contact lenses to match your corneal ‘fingerprint”. 10/10 Optics is one of the first practices to be trained and authorized to prescribe Wave contact lenses, the next-generation technology of contact lens design. A special video camera and computer software are used to digitally map your cornea. A contact lens is then created to follow the exact shape of your eye, offering unrivaled comfort and sharper optics. Best of all, Wave contact lenses can created for all patients who need correction of near and distant vision, astigmatism, bi-focal, multi-focal and post surgical corrections.

Q. I am happy with the lenses I have now, can I just order more?

A. If your prescription is still valid we can easily order more lenses for you, and have them shipped directly to your home or office. We do recommend that you come in every year to check your prescription and your contact lens fit.

Q: I wear contacts now but I am having some problems with them. What can I do?

A: If you are not totally happy with the comfort, fit or eyesight of your lenses, you should make an appointment for Dr. Rozenberg to examine you. In a complementary consultation, you can discuss to find out some of the possible choices and remedies that are available to solve problems you are experiencing. It may be as simple as changing the power of your lenses or letting you try a different lens for a week.

Q: I am having trouble reading with my lenses, what can I do?

A: It may just require a slight change in power to help you read better with your lenses. Sometimes the use of reading or computer glasses over contacts will solve the problem. Some patient do very well with bifocal or multifocal contacts, and occasionally some patients prefer monovision where one eye is corrected for far and one for near vision. We can often give you trial periods to try many of these options to see which is right for you.

Q: I am not sure if contacts are for me? Can I wear them, can I put them on, will I like them?

A: Dr. Rozenberg always prefers a consultation with a patient before he examines them. There is no fee for this visit. Although an in-person visit is best. Dr. Rozenberg can speak with you by phone if that’s easier. After a series of questions, Dr. Rozenberg will recommend and approach and which lenses may be best. Remember, there is a trial period for new patients so that they have time decide if contacts are right for them.

Q. How much are contact lenses?

A: The cost of contact lenses will depend on the nature of your eyes, prescription, and eye care needs. Some patients just need new lenses, some are due for an exam and a different lens, while others have more complicated corneas and will need custom designed lenses. Dr. Rozenberg can usually estimate the cost during a consultation.
