Explore Our Selection of Contact Lenses in Des Moines
Discover the freedom and flexibility that contact lenses can bring to your life. At Westrum Optometry, we offer a range of contact lens options tailored to meet different vision needs and lifestyles, giving you clear, comfortable vision.
Types of Contact Lenses We Offer
Daily Disposables
Daily disposable lenses are a convenient, low-maintenance option for busy individuals. You wear a fresh pair each day and discard them at night, eliminating the need for cleaning or storage. These lenses are ideal for a fuss-free way to enjoy clear vision and comfort.
Extended Wear Lenses
Extended wear lenses allow for more continuous use without daily removal. You can wear them overnight for a designated period, but using them responsibly is crucial to keep your eyes healthy. These lenses suit individuals with demanding schedules who prefer less frequent lens changes.
Multifocal and Bifocal Lenses
For those who need vision correction for near and far distances, multifocal and bifocal contact lenses offer a single, seamless solution. They’re designed for individuals with presbyopia, allowing you to switch from reading a book to focusing on distant objects without juggling multiple glasses.
Specialty Lenses
Specialty lenses, including scleral, ortho-k, and gas-permeable options, offer solutions for unique vision needs. These lenses can address specific conditions such as keratoconus or chronic dry eyes, providing comfort and clarity where standard lenses may not. Our team at has experience in fitting these specialized lenses to suit your needs.
Benefits of Choosing Contact Lenses
Freedom and Flexibility
Contact lenses provide the freedom to live without frames, making them perfect for sports, outdoor activities, and everyday convenience. With lenses, you enjoy an unrestricted field of view that follows your natural eye movement.
Enhanced Vision Precision
Since contact lenses sit directly on your eye, they offer precise vision correction and enhanced sharpness. Unlike glasses, which may distort your peripheral vision, contacts move with your eye, providing clear sight across your entire field of view
