The contact lens fitting process begins with the optometrist choosing an initial lens based on the patient’s prescription, eye shape, and expected wear time. The fit of a contact lens is then inspected to make sure that the lens is not inhibiting oxygen from reaching the eye.
The fitting process is completed after ensuring that the lens of choice is not only healthy for the eye, but also that the patient is entirely satisfied with the comfort and vision provided by the contact lens. We will also make sure you know the proper contact lens hygiene, the dos and don’ts of contact lens wear, and a tutorial on how to insert and remove your lenses properly.
Once contact lenses are fitted, an annual contact lens evaluation is required to ensure that the lens selected for your eyes a year ago still provides optimal health, fit, and vision. If not, a new contact lens will be fitted for your eyes.
Even though your contact lenses may feel comfortable, it does not necessarily mean that they are still providing the best fit and health for your eyes. As well, if your prescription has changed, most unopened boxes of contact lenses from a previous purchase can be exchanged for your new prescription.
