An overview of contact lens innovations — ask our office which brands and wearing schedules we currently recommend.
This article was originally published in 2018. Contact lens technology changes frequently — call Clear Sight Hawaii for current brands, prescriptions, and evaluation options.
Why a Professional Contact Lens Evaluation Matters
Contact lenses are medical devices. A proper evaluation ensures the lens fits your cornea safely, provides clear vision, and supports long-term eye health — whether you need daily disposables, toric lenses for astigmatism, multifocal designs, or color options.
Brands We Work With Today
Our office routinely evaluates and prescribes lenses from leading manufacturers, including:
- Acuvue: Oasys, Max, 1-Days
- Bausch & Lomb: Infuse, Biotrue, Ultra
- Alcon: Air Optix, Air Optix Colors, Precision1
- CooperVision: Biofinity, MyDay
Availability depends on your prescription — including whether you have astigmatism or need multifocal correction. Color lenses for astigmatism are not available at our practice.
Historical Industry Highlights (2018)
When this article was first posted, manufacturers were promoting new materials for comfort and oxygen transmission, toric designs for astigmatism, extended-wear options, and daily disposable color lenses. Many of those principles still apply: more oxygen to the cornea, stable vision, and convenient replacement schedules — but specific product names and FDA-approved wear times evolve.
Schedule Your Evaluation
If you are new to contacts or due for an updated prescription, book a contact lens evaluation (separate from a routine eye exam). Our team will recommend the best option for your eyes and lifestyle.
