What happens in a contact lens fitting session?
Contact lenses have revolutionised vision correction, offering a world of comfort, convenience and freedom from the constraints of glasses. The journey towards clear vision starts with a proper contact lens fitting. During a contact lens fitting the optician will evaluate your eye health, assesses the quality of your tears, and take precise measurements of your eyes. Your optician will then discuss with you factors like your lifestyle and preferences to help select the most suitable lenses for you. Poorly fitted lenses could impair your vision and impact your daily activities. This fitting process, conducted by qualified opticians, ensures that contact lenses are fitted correctly and are suitable for the wearer.
