Eye Care
We combine modern technology, a wide range of lenses and a professional approach to eye examination. At Doctor Sam you can get a full range of optical solutions and an ophthalmologist’s advice on choosing glasses or contact lenses that fit your lifestyle. Our specialists take a personalized approach to achieve the perfect balance between comfort, visual clarity, and aesthetics.
Contact lenses or glasses: what to choose
Choosing between contact lenses and glasses depends on comfort, lifestyle, and vision needs. Both have their advantages, but the best solution is always individual — after a consultation with an ophthalmologist.
Lenses offer freedom of movement, do not limit peripheral vision, and do not fog up when temperatures change. They are convenient for sports, active lifestyles, and for those who prefer not to feel frames on their face. Modern materials provide moisture, corneal breathing, and comfort even during long wear.
Glasses are easy to use, require little care, and are ideal for people who work at a computer or have sensitive eyes. For some types of correction — for example, high astigmatism — glasses remain the best option.
Many patients prefer a combined approach: lenses for active days, gym, or travel, and glasses for relaxation at home or computer work. This allows for maximum comfort in any situation.
At Doctor Sam, we help you decide what suits you best. We perform a detailed vision check, analyze your daily habits, and help you choose the most suitable option.
Contact lens care
- Clean hands first! Always wash your hands with soap, rinse well, and dry them with a lint-free towel before touching your lenses. Even invisible dirt or traces of cream can cause irritation, dryness, or infection.
- Check the shape. A correct lens looks like a smooth bowl — if the edges are turned outward, it’s inside out. Put it on gently without sudden movements. Give your eyes a few minutes to adapt so they can get used to the feeling.
- Follow the replacement schedule. Do not exceed the wearing time indicated by the manufacturer. Daily lenses are for one-day use only; extended-wear lenses should not be worn longer than prescribed. Avoid sleeping in lenses unless they are designed for night wear — this is the main cause of dryness and inflammation.
- Keep the case clean. After each use, empty the solution, rinse the case with fresh solution, and let it air dry upside down. Replace the case at least every 2–3 months to prevent bacteria buildup.
At Doctor Sam, we teach proper lens care, help create an individual wearing routine, and prevent common mistakes. Regular eye check-ups give you confidence that your contact lenses remain a comfortable and safe choice for everyday use.
