What to Expect During Lens Fitting and Aftercare?

Key Benefits of Professional Contact Lens Fitting

At Carlton & Stanley – Get Professionally Fitted Contact Lenses.

A contact lens fitting is a detailed procedure carried out by an optometrist or eye care specialist to ensure your contact lenses are safe, comfortable, and effective for your specific eye shape and vision needs. Unlike a regular eye test, a contact lens fitting includes accurate measurements of the cornea, an evaluation of your eye health, and a review of your vision correction requirements. Your lifestyle and wearing preferences are also considered to determine the most suitable lens type—whether daily disposables, monthly lenses, or specialized lenses like toric or multifocal contacts.

Contact Lens Fitting Is Crucial for Eye Health and Clear Vision

1. Ensures Custom Comfort and Daily Stability
No two eyes are exactly alike—differences in shape, size, and curvature mean that a one-size-fits-all lens won’t work. A proper lens fitting ensures your contact lenses sit securely on the eye, reducing the risk of irritation, slippage, and dryness throughout the day.

2. Delivers Accurate Vision Correction
Our professional fitting helps ensure your lenses correct vision problems like myopia (short-sightedness), hyperopia (long-sightedness), astigmatism, or presbyopia. The fitting process also allows your optometrist to recommend specialty lenses tailored to your unique visual needs.

3. Reduces the Risk of Eye Infections and Complications
Wearing ill-fitting contact lenses can cause blurred vision, corneal scratches, redness, or serious eye infections. Properly fitted lenses help maintain long-term eye health by minimizing these risks and promoting safe wear.

4. Promotes Healthy Oxygen Flow to the Eyes
A well-fitted lens allows sufficient oxygen to reach the cornea, helping prevent complications like eye redness, dryness, and corneal damage, essential for overall ocular health.

5. Helps Select the Best Lens Type for You
Based on your eye shape, lifestyle, and prescription, we may suggest soft lenses, rigid gas-permeable lenses, or other specialty lenses during your fitting session, ensuring maximum comfort and performance.
