What is contact lens fitting & assessment?

Whether you’re new to contact lenses or an experienced wearer, a proper contact lens assessment is essential in addition to your comprehensive eye exam. During this process, our optometrist carefully evaluates how lenses perform on your eyes to ensure both comfort and long-term eye health.

Your eye surface will be measured precisely to determine the ideal size and type of lenses for you, while a tear film evaluation checks that your eyes produce enough natural moisture for comfortable wear. Based on these results, we’ll recommend the most suitable lenses, including options for daily, bi-weekly, or monthly disposables, as well as coloured or specialty designs if desired.

To complete the process, you’ll be provided with trial lenses to experience how they perform in your everyday life. This step ensures that your contact lenses not only match your prescription but also deliver the comfort, clarity, and convenience you deserve.

Why do I need assessments for contact lens fitting when my friend just bought theirs online or over the counter without any tests?

Prescribing the right material, lens dimensions and wearing modality to match a wearer’s ocular topography and lifestyle, that’s our goal. (NEW) A sub-optimal fit or inappropriate lens selection can cause discomfort and may have physiological effects, potentially leading to contact lens wear discontinuation.

While contacts have many benefits, they may not be right for you if you;

  • Have dry eye disease
  • Deal with recurrent eye infections
  • Have severe allergies
  • Spend a lot of time in areas with dust or fumes
  • May not be able to clean and care for your contacts.

What’s the Difference Between an Eye Exam and a Contact Lens Assessment?

A routine eye exam is not the same as a contact lens assessment. For contact lens wearers, a contact lens assessment is necessary to ensure the lenses are fitted properly and the health of the eyes is not compromised by the contact lenses.

Disposable Lenses

Disposable Lenses

Disposable contact lenses are one of the most popular choices for modern lens wearers, offering a perfect balance of clarity, health, and lifestyle convenience. Designed to be replaced on a regular schedule, these lenses keep your eyes fresh, reduce the risk of infections, and eliminate the discomfort that often comes with overworn or improperly cleaned lenses.

RGP Lenses

RGP Lenses

Rigid Gas Permeable (RGP) lenses, also known as semi-hard lenses, are smaller and firmer than soft lenses and allow more oxygen to reach your eyes. This results in clearer vision, healthier eyes, and longer-lasting lenses. Many people find that RGP lenses provide better clarity than glasses due to their precision optics.

Semi-scleral Lenses for Keratoconus

Semi-scleral Lenses for Keratoconus

Semi-scleral lenses for keratoconus provide an effective solution when glasses or regular contact lenses can no longer offer clear vision. Larger than RGP lenses, they rest on the sclera while vaulting over the irregular cornea, creating a smooth, tear-filled surface that improves vision, protects the cornea, and delivers comfortable all-day wear.
