Establishing a Good Contact Lens Fit
Fitting lenses to your lifestyle
We will determine the best fitting lens based on your lifestyle needs and the shape and health of your eye. In most cases, you’ll have the opportunity to try lenses on the same day as your exam. You can even go home with a few samples before making a final decision.
Follow up fittings
We follow up the initial fitting and then make any necessary changes in fit or materials to get you the best possible fit. We teach all our patients proper contact lens care and also possible consequences if proper care is not taken. Then we continue with long-term follow-up to monitor the condition of the lenses and to ensure that proper hygiene is being maintained.

Tips on Good Contact Lens Wear:
- Do not wear your contact lenses beyond the period recommended by your optometrist
- Contact lens care includes rubbing, rinsing, sterilizing and storing
- Wash your hands thoroughly before handling your contact lenses
- Clean both sides of your lenses. DO NOT use tap water to clean or wet your contact lenses
- Wear your contacts prior to applying make-up. Remove contacts prior to removing eye make-up
- Avoid wearing contacts overnight as this increases your risk of developing infections of the cornea
- Get in the habit of removing your contacts when you get home from work or school, and wear your glasses. This gives your eyes time to breath.
