Cape Cod Optometrist Fact:
A Marstons Mills woman came into the office with a contact lens emergency! She was considering LASIK and the ophthalmologist office off Cape Cod fitted her with contact lenses to demonstrate monovision. They showed her very quickly on the techniques of insertion and removal. They only had her try it once. In my office we require patients to put them in and remove 3 times before they can leave with their contact lenses. She came in yesterday afternoon with an irritated eye with a broken blood vessel hemorrhage in her conjunctiva. I assured her that she was fine and discussed her options. We are going to revisit a new bifocal/multifocal contact lens fitting. She will probably hold off on LASIK for the time being. In her situation the bifocal contact lenses will offer her more options than the monovision. She should do well and be very happy in the next week to come.
