Fitting
What is a contact lens evaluation?

A contact lens evaluation/fitting is in addition to a routine eye exam. Contact lenses – unless specially designed – do not come in all prescriptions like we can do in glasses. Therefore, additional testing is required to obtain the patient’s contact lens prescription.

Types of contact lenses
Daily disposable

Worn for one day, discarded at bedtime, and then replaced with a fresh pair of lenses the next morning

Monthly disposable

Are thicker than daily lenses, a quality that enables them to last longer. Must store them in fresh solution

Orthokeratology

Lens worn overnight that 1) slows down the progression of nearsightedness over time and 2) eliminates the need for glasses or contacts during the day!
