If you’re interested in contact lenses, the first thing we do is a thorough eye exam. This measures the shape and size of your eyes, and looks at the health of your cornea. This is the transparent front part of the eye. It’s a clear, protective outer layer that helps focus light.
Based on your prescription and lifestyle, we’ll recommend the right kind of contact lenses for you. They may be soft (for comfort) or rigid gas permeable (better for correcting your vision).
Then we’ll discuss things like your wearing schedule. Will you change them daily? Weekly? Or even longer? Do you have any allergies or eye sensitivities? Or specific needs such as astigmatism correction or color contacts?
Finally, we’ll teach you how to insert, remove, and care for your lenses. This can be tricky at first, but we’ll hold your hand every step of the way. There’s no rush.
