What Types of Lenses Are Available?
As technology advances so, too, do eyeglass lenses. Today, most eyeglasses are made of high-tech plastics that are thinner, lighter, ultraviolet protective, and more scratch-resistant than older, common plastic lenses.
* Polycarbonate: These eyeglass lenses are impact and scratch resistant and are a good choice for all children, active people, and risky work environments.
* Transitions: These lenses change from clear to tinted when exposed to sunlight, often eliminating the need for prescription sunglasses.
* High index: Designed for people who require strong prescriptions, these eyeglass lenses are lighter and thinner than the standard, thick "coke bottle" lenses that may otherwise be needed.
* Aspheric lenses: These eyeglass lenses are unlike typical lenses, which are spherical in shape. Aspheric lenses are made up of differing degrees of curvature over its surface, which allows the lens to be thinner and flatter than other lenses.
What Are Multi-focal Lenses?
People who have more than one vision problem (for example, have difficulty seeing both far away and up close) often need eyeglasses with multifocal lenses. Multifocals (such as bifocals, trifocals, or progressives) contain two or more vision-correcting prescriptions. Today's latest technology multifocals offer seamless vision at all distances so that only you and the doctor will know what you're wearing!
* If you have questions about which eyeglass lens is right for you, talk to Dr. Sheiner or his staff. They can help you choose the lens that best fits your lifestyle and vision needs.
How Should You Care for Your Eyeglasses?
* Always store eyeglasses in a clean, dry place away from potential damage. DON'T LEAVE THEM IN YOUR CAR! The heat can destroy them.
* Clean your eyeglasses with water and a non-lint cloth, as necessary, to keep them spot free and prevent distorted vision.
* See Dr. Sheiner annually to check your eyeglass prescription. Remember, eyeglasses can correct most common vision problems simply, without surgery, eye drops or fuss.

Selecting the Right Contacts for You
From daily wear to disposable lenses, Total Family Eyecare will take the time to explain the advantages of all options. Once you've made your selection, your contact lenses will be expertly fitted (see below) to make sure they are comfortable and perform properly. Make an appointment to see a doctor about finding the right contacts for you.
Getting Fitted For Contacts
Since contact lenses sit directly on your eyes, we must match your eyes’ unique features with the best contact lens shape and material. Your eyes will be carefully examined and measured for proper fit. A key factor is how your eyes react to the lenses during the first several weeks of wear.
* Typically, you will have 1-3 visits over 2-4 weeks.
* On your first visit, we will examine your eyes for their shape, tear quality, visual and corrective needs. If you are a good candidate for contact lenses, we will discuss contact lens options, then help you select a lens that best suites your eyes and your lifestyle.
* Inserting contact lenses is easy once you know how, but the first few times can be intimidating. Proper and thorough training is as important as the fitting process. We provide lots of instruction and encouragement, so you feel comfortable handling your new lenses.
* After you have worn your lenses for two weeks, we re-evaluate your eyes at the next visit. Sometimes the signs of incorrect lenses are subtle, such as changes in your eye shape. If problems occur with the first pair, we will change lenses. Many patients find the right lenses the first time; others try a couple different lenses before finding the best fit.
* Once you’re fitted with the right pair, we determine a follow-up schedule. After that, you usually maintain your eye health with an annual exam.

Nutritional Supplements
At Total Family Eyecare, our concern is not only about your vision. The health and well-being of your eyes and your overall health is also of the utmost importance. To that end, we have decided to carry a line of premium advanced nutraceuticals to promote optimum health and wellness for our patients.
nutraMetrix supplements are scientifically-advanced formulas designed to give your body the maximum benefit from vitamins and minerals. They offer a complete array of products designed to fit your needs.
When you take a daily vitamin or nutritional supplement tablet, your body must work hard for up to 4 hours to digest and absorb the vitamins and minerals. During that process, your body may not absorb enough nutrients to gain the maximum benefit it needs to remain healthy. nutraMetrix advanced nutraceuticals, however, use an isotonic formula to speed nutrients to your body where they are needed most. An isotonic formula utilizes a great-tasting powder formula, that, when mixed with water, minimizes the amount of digestion needed to deliver maximum benefit to your body. Through this effective method, nutraMetrix supplements provide superior delivery and speed nutrients to your body.
