Overview of Contact Lens Fittings
What Exactly Is a Contact Lens Fitting? A contact lens fitting is a dedicated process that goes far beyond a standard eye exam. During this appointment, our eye doctors assess how your eyes interact with contact lenses by taking specific measurements and considering your lifestyle needs. The goal is to achieve the perfect balance between clear vision and comfort, making sure your lenses sit properly on your eye.
The Need for a Specialized Fitting Getting the right lens can make all the difference in your daily comfort and vision quality. A recent survey of 81 adult contact lens users revealed that less than half (43%) reported a perfect fit that didn’t cause any vision issues. This means that many individuals are dealing with lenses that may be uncomfortable or even interfere with clear sight. By scheduling an annual contact lens fitting, you can avoid these pitfalls and enjoy the full benefits of contact lenses without irritation or compromise in vision.
Taking Care of Your New Contact Lenses
Maintaining your contact lenses properly is as important as the fitting process itself. Once you have your new prescribed lenses, proper hygiene and care will ensure they remain comfortable and safe to use. Following these steps is crucial to avoid eye irritation, infections, or other complications that can arise from improper care. Remember, consistency in your care routine will keep your lenses functioning at their best.

Why Regular Fittings Are Essential for Eye Health
Regular contact lens fittings are more than just a way to update your prescription; they are critical for maintaining overall eye health. As our eyes naturally change over time, so can the shape of the cornea and the stability of the tear film. If your contact lenses no longer fit properly, you may experience irritation, blurred vision, or even increased sensitivity to light. Addressing these changes promptly through a fitting helps safeguard your eyes against potential discomfort or further complications.
This regular check helps catch any early signs of issues, and our eye doctors can make necessary recommendations to ensure that your contact lenses continue to provide clear, comfortable vision. It’s a simple, effective way to maintain both your vision and the overall health of your eyes over the long term.
