Contact lens fitting and aftercare
Measuring the eye, choosing the lens, and teaching the handling.
A contact lens prescription is not the same as a spectacle prescription and cannot be converted from one. The curve of the front of the eye, the size of the cornea and the quality of the tear film all decide which lenses will sit well, and the fitting is the appointment where that is measured rather than guessed.
What this includes
- The shape and size of the front of each eye
- How much tear you make and how fast it evaporates
- A trial lens worn in the practice and looked at on the eye
- As long as it takes to get one in and out yourself, which is the part people dread
- A follow-up two weeks later, before any long supply is ordered
- A yearly check while you keep wearing them
What this is not
- Not everybody can wear them, and a dry or scarred eye is a reason we will say so
- We will not supply lenses against a prescription that has expired without seeing the eye
The appointment
Booking this
Ring or book online. Bring the lenses you currently wear, or the box, even if they are not from here.
Where this is bounded
What we will and will not tell you here is bounded by this straight answer: We cannot look at a photograph of your eye.
Measured, not guessed
Ring to book a contact lens fitting, or ask about aftercare first.
