Department of Contact Lenses

Contact lenses are perceived to be a revolution in the optical and medical fields having hundreds of millions of users due to their vision, movement, aesthetic and psychological advantages.

At 'Diavgia Ophthalmologiko' Mr. E. Vardavas, having acquired valuable experience of 36 years on the right selection, implementation and check of contact lenses, has formed the most complete picture about contact lenses.

It is paramount to inform you that contact lenses do have not only advantages but also disadvantages. A basic rule is to understand when and in which cases we can use contact lenses. In particular, there some cases that the use of contact lenses is absolutely necessary (e.g. keratoconus, high anisometropia, irregular stigmatism etc), and some other cases that they are used for the correction of refractive disorders due to advantages over the vision glasses.

Mr. E. Vardavas, having deep knowledge and experience on facing even the most difficult and complicated eye cases, proposes you to follow some simple rules for your eyes' safety:

	The use, and not overuse, of contact lenses should be done with attention and according to the directions and hygiene rules given by the ophthalmologist or optician-optometrist
	It is absolutely necessary to have a complete eye check-up and contact lenses' trial tests before every use of contact lenses
	Do not buy contact lenses based on the eye prescription used for your vision glasses
	The right combination between the use of vision glasses and contact lenses is necessary and depends on the type of contact lens
	An eye check-up is required at least every year if someone wears contact lenses

It is worth mentioning that most problems regarding contact lenses derive from the fact that these rules and some other specifications are not followed correctly. Consequently, your eye safety requires attention from your part as well.
