Abel Family Eyecare provides comprehensive cornea and contact lens care. After an eye exam, we evaluate your eyes and determine which type of contact lens will best suite your individual needs. We offer several brands of soft and ridged contact lenses.

• Bifocal/Multifocal
• Monovision
• Astigmatism
• Pediatric
• Cosmetic/Colored

Our experienced staff is able to answer any of your questions and are available for contact lens instruction and training.

General Lens Care

• Any time a contact lens is removed from the eye, it must be cleaned and disinfected before being reinserted.
• Always wash hands before handling contact lenses
• Whenever lenses have been removed from the case, the case should be rinsed with warm water and allowed to air dry
• Routinely replace contact lens cases every three (3) months
• Use only commercial lens disinfectant solution
• Never reuse solution after one cleaning/disinfection cycle
• Never use saliva to moisten a contact lens; never put a contact lens in your mouth
• Contact lenses should never be store in non-sterile fluids such as distilled water, tap water, bottled water, or home-purified water
• Lubricating/rewetting drops can be placed directly into the eye while contact lenses are being worn to increase lens-wearing comfort
• Never sleep in contact lenses, unless otherwise specified by your Optometrist
• Always remove contact lenses and disinfect for at least four (4) hours (soaking) after being in a hot tub, swimming pool, river, lake, etc.
• Never wear torn contact lenses
• If you ever have pain, discharge, irritation, and/or redness while wearing contacts, discontinue use and notify your Optometrist immediately
