- SMsusan michalsAug 5, 20255.0Outstanding customer service! Tremendous attention to detail. Appreciate honest feedback on eyeglasses selection. You sure don’t get this level of expertise and professionalism from one of the large big box eyewear stores or online!
- HHHeather HartshornJul 25, 20255.0Great service and commitment to making sure my glasses correct my vision 100%
- EFEvan Fray-WitzerJul 10, 20255.0I’m way overdue for adding this rave review. The level of customer service provided by Noah is unparalleled. We’ve bought glasses from him for, yowza, two decades now? And whenever I’ve had something break, he goes up and above to fix it. Saved me yet again this morning. We wouldn’t shop anywhere else.
- DSDonald SmithJul 1, 20255.0Very experienced and knowledgeable people, great service!
- JHJoshua HassolMay 16, 20255.0We’ve been customers of Gordon Optical for over 20 years. Noah is extremely knowledgeable, and takes great care to make sure you get exactly the right pair of glasses, and that they are adjusted and fit perfectly. He knows way more about lens technology than the people at the big chain optical stores, and he always carries a selection of great looking frames. Highly recommended!
Frequently Asked Questions About Gordon Optical
Can I Wear Contact Lenses?
Yes! With the newest lens designs and materials available today, we are able to fit patients who may not have had success wearing contact lenses in the past. Whether you were unable to use contacts previously due to poor vision, astigmatism, comfort issues, or dry eyes, there are many more choices in lens materials and solutions to overcome those challenges today.
What Type of Contacts Are Right for Me?
There are several types of contact lenses, but only a thorough examination of your eyes and your lifestyle will reveal the answer. A few examples of contact lenses are:
Daily disposables
Two-week replacement disposables
One-month replacement disposables
Conventional contact lenses
Color contact lenses
Toric for astigmatism
Bifocal contact lenses
Call today for help determining what contact lenses will work best for you.
Can I Swim or Shower With Contacts In?
While some contacts are advertised as wearable in the water, there are two main reasons why you should not swim or shower with them—possible loss of the lenses and, most importantly, contamination of the lenses. While underwater, lenses may be washed out of your eye, or above water, a small wave or splash may take the lens with it. Contact lenses, especially the soft variety, will absorb any chemicals or germs in the water. They will then stay in or on the lens for several hours, irritating the eyes and possibly causing infection.
Can Extended-Wear Contacts Be Worn Overnight?
While extended-wear lenses can be worn overnight, extended-lens wearers may have an increased risk for corneal infections and ulcers, primarily due to poor lens care and cleaning, tear film instability, and bacterial stagnation. Corneal neovascularization has historically been a common complication of extended lens wear, though this does not appear to be a problem with silicone hydrogel extended wear. The most common complication of extended lens use is conjunctivitis, usually allergic or giant papillary conjunctivitis (GPC), sometimes associated with a poorly fitting contact lens.
