Contact Lens Fitting:
Selecting the correct contact lens for your eyes demands attention to five areas; the
vision, the position of the lens on the eyes, the ability of you to handle the lens, how
the lens feels on your eyes, and the selection of the best care plan and solutions for
you. Overlooking any of these areas will lead to unsuccessful contact lens use and
can be risky for the health of the eyes. Our fitting procedures are planned to assure a
high rate of success. We want to begin the contact lens wear with a total understanding of
the lens wear and care so the advantages of contact lens wear can be enjoyed for years to
come. Our fitting fees cover trying lenses, instruction on care and insertion/removal,
determining the correct power, size and shape of lenses and a complimentary lens care kit.
This process involves the initial fitting and instruction that takes about 1-2 hours, a
weekly check and a monthly check. Only after the monthly check can we say what lens power
and specifications we recommend or prescribe. Special lenses may require more extensive
fitting procedures and can be discussed with us if you need this type of lens. Neither
fitting fees nor special lens order fees are refundable.
Our fitting fees cover the above services and
vary in costs, based on the type of lens that is needed. The fitting fees do not cover
ophthalmic services from the physicians. The Table summarizes the services included and
not included as part of the fitting fee. .
COVERED SERVICES
Fitting, including lens exchanges in fitting period
instruction on insertion, removal
instruction on care of lenses
initial lens care kit
SERVICES NOT COVERED
lens supply*
refitting for another lens type
re-instruction after initial month
refractive or ophthalmic services
supply of solutions .
Ongoing care is very important for continued
success and safety with contact lens wear. The lenses should be checked every six months
by a technician and changes made for power, fit and comfort. Every year the eyes should be
completely examined by the doctors. Any time there is redness, discharge, pain or blurred
vision, the lenses must be removed and not worn. If these symptoms continue for more than
a day, the doctor should be notified on an emergency basis. If the lens is broken, dirty
or coated with deposits, it should be discarded and replaced, no matter what the schedule.
Soft lenses are best worn on a daily basis, removed each night and inserted in the morning
on awakening. Each person has individual needs and schedules and instructions may vary
from one person to the next. This is part of the fitting procedure and will be determined
for your particular requirements and abilities.
