Contact Lenses

Urban Optics Optometric Center in Santa Barbara offers many options for contact lenses.

At Urban Optics in Santa Barbara, we offer a comprehensive range of contact lens options tailored to your lifestyle and vision needs. Whether you’re seeking an alternative to glasses for aesthetic reasons, convenience during sports, or simply desire the freedom from traditional eyewear, our selection has you covered.

Why Choose Contact Lenses?

Contact lenses provide several advantages over standard eyewear:

A Glasses-Free Look

Enjoy your natural appearance without frames.

Convenience

Perfect for active lifestyles where glasses may be cumbersome.

Enhanced Vision

Especially beneficial for those with high prescriptions or astigmatism.

Versatility

Allows you to wear non-prescription sunglasses or goggles.

Our Contact Lenses:

Soft Contact Lenses

Comfortable and easy to adapt to, soft lenses are ideal for everyday wear and active lifestyles. They are available in daily, weekly, or monthly replacement schedules and can correct a wide range of prescriptions, including astigmatism. The latest silicone hydrogel materials allow more oxygen to reach your eyes, enhancing comfort throughout the day.

Gas-Permeable (GP) Lenses

Made from durable, flexible plastics, GP lenses offer sharp vision correction for most visual impairments. While they may require a brief adaptation period, they are long-lasting and easy to maintain.

Multifocal Lenses

Available in both soft and GP designs, multifocal lenses provide seamless vision correction for both near and distant vision, similar to bifocal glasses.

Scleral Lenses

Scleral lenses are specialized for individuals with specific corneal conditions such as keratoconus, corneal ectasia, or those who have had corneal transplants. They offer improved comfort and visual acuity for challenging eye conditions.

Color Contact Lenses

Add a touch of flair by enhancing or completely changing your eye color. Our colored lenses are available for both light and dark eyes, combining fashion with function.

Specialized Lenses

  • Astigmatism Lenses: Designed to correct irregular curvature of the eye for clearer vision.
  • Reading Contact Lenses: Perfect for those who need assistance with near vision tasks.
  • Orthokeratology (Ortho-K) Lenses: Worn overnight to gently reshape the cornea, providing clear vision during the day without lenses.

The Importance of Regular Eye Exams

Regardless of the type of contact lenses you choose, annual eye examinations are crucial to maintain optimal eye health. Our optometrist, Dr. David Zucker, will conduct a thorough eye exam and discuss your visual needs to recommend the best contact lens options for you.
