Contact Lens Fitting and Evaluation in Enfield CT
After a thorough evaluation of your visual needs and eye heath, we work with you to determine the type and brand of contact lenses that will provide optimum vision, comfort, eye health and convenience. You will be given a pair of trial lenses and complete instructions on proper lens care and handling and scheduled to return for a contact lens evaluation after you have had an opportunity to adapt to contact lens wear. Modifications will be made as needed until the optimum fit is achieved.
Existing CL wearers receive a contact lens evaluation at their yearly examinations to ensure that the contacts continue to provide good vision and comfort while maintaining ocular health. This includes a detailed history of the patient’s CL experience, evaluation of the contact lens fit, measurement of the corneal curvature and determination of the current contact lens prescription. All contact lens wearers require annual eye exams with contact lens evaluation. Unless you are told otherwise, we prefer that you wear your contact lenses to the exam and bring your glasses with you.
A fitting fee is charged to both new and previous contact lens wearers, and varies according to the specific type of contact lens prescribed. For first time wearers the fee is higher as it will include the fitting, the trial lenses, a 30 minutes instructional class and two follow up visits with the doctor to finalize the fit and prescription.
There is Hope for Contact Lenses Drop-Outs in Enfeild, CT!
There have been many innovations in contact lenses that may allow you to be a successful contact lens wearer despite past failure:
- Lens materials with better wettability and higher oxygen transmission provide less drying, better comfort and longer, healthier wear times with both soft and gas permeable lenses.
