Our Contact Lens Fitting Procedure (How It Works!)

Step 1: Eye Health Check

First, we check if your eyes are healthy enough to wear contact lenses. We make sure your eyes make enough tears to keep the lenses wet and comfortable.

Step 2: Measuring Your Eyes

We use special tools to measure your eyes, including:

  • How curved your eyes are (like measuring a ball)
  • How big your eyes are (to get the right size lenses)
  • Your prescription (how strong the lenses need to be)

Step 3: Picking the Right Lenses

We help you choose the best type of contact lenses for your life! Do you play sports? Work on computers? Want to wear them just sometimes? We find the perfect lenses for YOU!

Step 4: Teaching You How to Use Them

We show you how to:

  • Put the lenses in your eyes (it’s easier than you think!)
  • Take them out safely
  • Clean and care for them
  • Know when to replace them

Step 5: Trial Period

You get to try the lenses at home! We give you trial lenses to make sure they feel good and work well for you.

Step 6: Follow-Up Visit

You come back so we can check that the lenses fit well and you’re happy with them. If anything needs to change, we fix it!
