As a contact lens wearer, you will need to be seen annually to have your doctor check your vision, corneas, and make sure your lenses are fitting properly. Your contact lens prescription is valid for one year from the date of your last exam. If you happen to go through your annual supply of contacts before the year is up, you may order additional lenses.

A cataract is a clouding of the natural lens of the eye. This process is most commonly caused by aging, but may also be seen with various medical conditions. People with cataracts may start to notice trouble with seeing clearly for activities of daily living. These activities include reading street signs, reading small print, and recognizing print on the television. Other patients will notice glare at night from approaching headlights. When symptoms become bothersome it may be time for cataract surgery.
