Optical Services FAQ
How long does an eye exam usually take?
At Eye Specialists of Napa Valley, an eyeglass exam usually takes around 30 — 90 minutes, depending on what assessments are needed.
Can you wear contacts every day?
Many of our patients wonder if they can wear their contact lenses in Napa Valley daily. The simple answer is yes, you can! The only things that may prevent you from wearing contacts are eye irritation, redness, or an eye infection. The key thing to remember is to always properly clean and care for your contacts to prevent eye infections and damage to your contacts.
Do I need glasses and contacts?
Even if you prefer to wear contacts, at Eye Specialists of Napa Valley, our doctors recommend that you also have a pair of glasses as a backup.
Are glasses or contacts better?
Glasses and contacts each have their pros and cons. Glasses are easy to wear, offer light and UV filtering options, can protect your eyes, and have the added bonus of being a fashion accessory. On the other hand, glasses can fog up, may feel uncomfortable to some people, and some prescriptions can distort your vision at the periphery (edges). With contacts, you don't experience any distortions. They don't fog up. They give you a more neutral, natural look and allow you to change the color of your eyes. But some people may find it difficult to put them in their eyes, they require regular cleaning and maintenance, and they can fall out. The bottom line: it comes down to what you feel comfortable with and which ones match your style and lifestyle.
How long does it take for prescription glasses to be ready?
The time it takes for prescription glasses to be ready can vary, but it generally takes between 7 – 10 days for most orders, depending on the complexity of your prescription and any special lens treatments or customizations. Your eye care provider will give you a more specific estimate when you place your order.
How should I clean my glasses?
To clean your glasses effectively, use a microfiber cloth and a lens cleaner specifically designed for eyewear. Begin by rinsing your lenses with lukewarm water to remove any dust or debris that could scratch the surface. Apply the cleaner, and gently wipe the lenses with the microfiber cloth in circular motions. Avoid using household cleaners, tissues, or paper towels, as these can damage the lenses and coatings.
