Color-Changing: can change the color of your eyes, even if vision correction is not needed
Gas-permeable lenses, or hard contact lenses offer sharper vision and can correct severe nearsightedness or astigmatism. At Winking Bee Optometry, we offer all types and brands of contact lenses specifically fitted for each individual's needs. It is very important that your lenses are fitted correctly based on your prescription, eye shape and specific needs.
Hybrid contacts are large-diameter lenses that have a gas permeable central zone, surrounded by a peripheral zone made of soft or silicone hydrogel material. The purpose of this design is to provide the visual clarity of GP lenses, combined with wearing comfort that is comparable to soft lenses.
