Contact Lens Evaluation
Fitting, trial and follow-up for contact lens wearers. Fitting and handling training by qualified optometry professionals.
The fit matters as much as the power.
A contact lens sits on the eye, so the fit matters as much as the power. Evaluation measures the eye, selects a suitable lens and checks how it settles.
We also teach safe handling, and review comfort and eye health at follow-up visits.
