A contact lens fitting is a dedicated appointment that ensures contact lenses are the right choice for your eyes and your lifestyle. Unlike a standard eye exam, it focuses on how lenses fit, feel, and perform throughout the day – not just how clearly you can see.
We start by getting to know you. Your optometrist will review your vision history, daily routines, and any past contact lens experience. We’ll then assess your prescription, eye health, tear film, and the shape of your cornea (the clear front surface of the eye) to confirm contact lenses are suitable.
From there, we select trial lenses based on your eyes and needs. These are carefully evaluated for comfort, fit, and visual clarity.
If you’re new to contact lenses, you’re in good hands. We take the time to teach you how to safely insert and remove your lenses, explain proper hygiene, and walk you through wear schedules, making sure you feel confident before you leave. Trial lenses are provided so you can experience how they feel in your everyday routine before committing.
Once you’re tried your lenses, a follow-up appointment is recommended. This allows us to confirm comfort, vision quality, and long-term suitability. Your final contact lens prescription is issued only once we’re confident the fit and performance are just right. We recommend regular aftercare visits to keep your eyes healthy and ensure your lenses keep performing well over time.
We offer fitting for a wide range of contact lenses, including:
Daily disposable lensesToric lenses for astigmatismMultifocal lenses for presbyopiaWe’ll help you choose the option that best suits your eyes, lifestyle, and comfort preferences.
Contact lenses give you the freedom to see the world without frames getting in the way. Offering a wider, more natural field of vision that moves with your eyes, they make everything from reading to sports to evenings out feel effortless. When fitted correctly, lenses are comfortable all day and can help reduce irritation or eye fatigue.
Whether you’re exploring contact lenses for the first time or looking for a better fit, we’re here to help. Book a contact lens consultation today or contact our team to discuss your needs and options.
