Howdy friends! There is a new brand of contact lenses in town, the ACUVUE® Theravision® contact lenses, and we are one of the first clinics in Ottawa to offer them to you. We are so proud to offer the latest technologies and hottest products when it comes to your contact lenses and eye care needs.

Contact Lenses with Ketotifen

One of the things we hear our patients often talking about when it comes to their eye health is dealing with itchy eyes due to seasonal allergies. With spring around the corner, addressing this concern is more important than ever! If you wear contact lenses, then you may experience itchy eyes or feel frustrated when your allergies interfere with wearing your contact lenses. The only relief typically is an eye drop but using those can sometimes be inconvenient and frustrating.

Here to save the day are ACUVUE® Theravision® contact lenses with Ketotifen. These lenses are the first and only medication-releasing contacts for people who need vision correction and itchy eye relief. In one simple step, these lenses offer built in allergy medication that starts to relieve itchy eyes in minutes. They provide fast-acting and long-lasting relief, for up to 12 hours! The medication is released over time – over up to 5 hours of wear time – to offer long lasting itchy eye relief. With allergy season creeping up, ACUVUE® Theravision® contact lenses couldn’t have come at a better time. Be sure to ask your Doctor of Optometry about them when you’re here for your next eye exam. You can enjoy clear vision, relief from itchy eyes, and wear contact lenses even if allergies are a concern for you!
