Contact Lenses

Premium Contact Lenses for Midland, Odessa, TX & Beyond

Fitting a patient with contact lenses is a process that takes many factors into account. We note your prescription and the shape of your eye, as well as any conditions we may need to work around or accommodate. 

There are several new developments in disposable lenses, such as new lenses for astigmatism and bifocal soft lenses. Although rigid contact lenses are becoming less popular, we still have a large number of patients who wear them, and we continue to supply them. The gas-permeable lens materials on the market today far surpass those of just a few years ago in terms of eye health and comfort.

McAndrew's Eye Clinic is in the business of doing what's best for patients. When it comes to fitting patients for contact lenses and prescribing the lenses that suit them best, our store provides professional service time and time again. Throughout Midland and Odessa, TX, one name comes to mind for high-quality eye care and contact lenses. Think McAndrew's Eye Clinic if you wear contacts.

Are Contact Lenses Right For You?

Let's face it. Wearing glasses isn't for everyone. Many patients who require vision correction choose contact lenses for a variety of reasons. Contact lenses are available for essentially every prescription and are considered a healthy option for most users, assuming proper care and insertion/removal steps are taken. Some lenses can even slow or control the development of nearsightedness.

Whether you prefer contact lenses for every day use or only for special occasions, McAndrew's Eye Clinic can provide you exactly what you need. Both long-lasting GP lenses and daily disposables are available, as well as everything in between. After your initial eye exam, we can give suggestions and recommendations based on your needs. We can even offer instructions and tips for getting used to inserting the lenses into your eyes.

How Often do Contact Lenses Need to be Replaced?

Wearing contact lenses can be a convenient and comfortable way to correct your vision, but proper care and regular updates are essential for your eye health. One of the most common questions we hear is how often you should replace your contact lenses. The answer depends on the type of lenses you use. Daily disposables should be replaced after every use to minimize the risk of infections and keep your vision clear. Monthly or bi-weekly lenses should be replaced as directed by your optometrist, but it’s important to follow this schedule strictly to maintain eye health. Overwearing lenses can lead to discomfort, dryness, or even more serious complications.


Keep Your Prescription Up to Date

Keeping your contact lens prescription up-to-date is another key part of healthy lens wear. We recommend scheduling an eye exam annually to ensure your prescription is accurate and to assess the health of your eyes. Regular exams allow us to catch any changes in your vision or underlying conditions early, helping you avoid unnecessary strain or discomfort. This is especially important if you’ve noticed symptoms like dryness, blurred vision, or irritation while wearing your lenses. At McAndrew's Eye Clinic, we provide comprehensive exams to tailor your contact lenses to your evolving needs while offering a wide selection of optical goods to suit your lifestyle.


For contact lens wearers, there are several additional tips to keep in mind. Always wash your hands before handling your lenses, and use the cleaning solutions recommended by your provider to reduce the chance of irritation or infections. If you’re navigating allergy season, ask us about options like prescribed eye drops to keep your eyes comfortable while wearing lenses. Whether you need guidance on which lenses are best for you or how to care for them properly, our team is here to provide the support and resources you need.

Allergies can be particularly irritating when wearing contact lenses. In the past, many people were forced to stop wearing their lenses for a month or two during the allergy season. New lens products and allergy medications have made it possible for these people to eliminate itchy eyes. Medications such as Patanol and Alocril are effective and safe even in children as young as three.
