The convenience of 2-week or 1-month replacement soft lenses is an ideal solution for many patients. We now have the 30-day CIBA Air Optix Night & Day lens available. Contact lenses to change eye color are available in a variety of shades, please mention to your Optometrist that you would like to see if you can be fitted into colored contact lenses. |
Contact Lens Exam: Fitting & Evaluation
The fitting properties of a contact lens are determined by several factors including lens material, curvature, diameter and power. The parameters must be compatible with the curvature and size of the cornea. Considerable professional judgment is required to obtain the best fit. Frequently, a specific lens design must be worn for a few days or weeks to determine lens-eye compatibility. It would not be unusual to make a parameter change after the lens fit has been evaluated. For this reason, regular professional follow-up care is necessary.
Professional follow-up care is the most important ingredient in successful long-term contact lens care. Patients wearing contact lenses should have periodic contact lens progress examinations.
In addition, they should have a comprehensive vision and eye health examination every 12 months.
