What Are the Benefits of Contact Lenses and Eyeglasses?
Obviously, the primary benefit of both contact lenses and eyeglasses is increased vision. However, each one also offers its own set of benefits for our patients in San Antonio, TX. At Texas State Optical Bandera, we notice a wide number of benefits from contact lenses and eyeglasses, such as:
Eyeglasses:
- Lower risk of eye infection or injury

Contact Lenses:
- Easier to wear during exercise or physical activity
- Doesn't cover your face
- No need to clean smudges and debris
Am I a Good Candidate for Contact Lenses or Eyeglasses?
After an eye exam, we will determine whether contact lenses or eyeglasses are the best treatment for your vision needs. For many individuals, contacts are the most convenient way to get clear vision. We offer several of the most well-known types of contacts, including daily wear, disposable, bifocal, and astigmatism contact lenses. Today's contact lenses are more comfortable now than ever, with most contact lens users experiencing no discomfort.
Prescription glasses are also an effective option for people who may be hesitant to wear contact lenses or have specific eye conditions. On par with contact lenses, eyeglasses have had remarkable advancements through the years. They are typically more economical than contacts, less challenging to store when not in use, and not as easily damaged. Plus, glasses protect the eyes from external elements and won't aggravate dry or itchy eyes like contacts sometimes do. However, many patients choose to use a combination of both glasses and contacts to fit their lifestyle.

There is rarely any wait time and they explain everything to you and make sure that you fully understand what's going on with your eyes as well as what to look out for in the future and what to be aware of.

What Happens After Getting Contact Lenses and Eyeglasses?
Usually, patients won't have to schedule a follow-up visit if they just choose eyeglasses. For individuals who choose contacts, Dr. Perez recommends a follow-up in a few weeks to ensure that the lenses fit well and are improving acuity appropriately. Please note, however, that follow-up assessments never replace routine full eye exams. Complete eye exams need to happen about every two years. During complete eye exams, Dr. Perez will check the overall condition of your eyes, along with your prescription, to determine if it is ready to be updated.
