What side effects can contact lenses cause?
Low Vision Aids:
There are some eye problems in which, inspite of the best treatment, complete visual recovery is sometimes not possible. These mainly include congenital and age related diseases of the retina or optic nerve. In such patients we can still help by prescribing special Low Vision glasses and devices like magnifiers and telescopes which help them to utilise whatever vision they have in a more efficient manner.
Dr. Bapaye Hospital has a special Low Vision Clinic run by our ophthalmologist and optometrist who have been trained in the prestigious Sankara Nethralaya, Chennai.
Are contact lenses safe for daily use?
Yes, with proper fitting and hygiene. Most lens problems we treat come from over-wearing, sleeping in lenses, or tap-water rinsing. Our contact lens clinic fits soft, toric and specialty lenses (including for keratoconus) with training on safe use.
What are low vision aids?
For patients whose vision cannot be fully corrected by glasses or surgery, low vision aids — magnifiers, telescopic glasses, and digital devices — make reading and daily tasks possible again. Our optometrists assess and prescribe them individually.
