Getting Contact Lenses
Contact lenses can open many doors for your vision. Whether you’re tired of wearing traditional frames and lenses, looking to expand your style without sacrificing your vision, or you live an active and on-the-go lifestyle, contact lenses can help remove the worry of caring for your traditional glasses.
However, contact lenses aren’t for everyone. Depending on your eyes’ health and condition, contact lenses may not be a great option for you. By having a comprehensive eye exam, we can take a detailed look into your eye health and determine if contacts are right for you and which contacts will suit you best!
The very first step towards getting contact lenses is having a comprehensive eye exam. Many factors can prevent you from wearing contacts comfortably, including:
- Living in a dusty, dirty, or dry environment.
- Experiencing frequent or severe allergic reactions.
- A history of eye diseases, conditions, and infections.
- Have an unbalanced or compromised tear film.
During the fitting process, we will take detailed measurements of your eye’s corneal parameters, including its shape and size, to ensure your contact lenses fit comfortably on your eye.
Trial periods will help ensure you’re achieving the results you need from your contact lenses. Trial periods can differ between patients, and some of them can last for a couple of weeks.
We will book a follow-up appointment after your trial period to answer any questions and make adjustments. If you’re satisfied with your lenses, we can order new pairs whenever you need them!
