Whether for sport, special occasions or simply as a flexible alternative to glasses - contact lenses are the perfect addition for many spectacle wearers. However, every eye is as unique as a fingerprint. Knowing your visual acuity is therefore not enough to find the right contact lens. Get professional advice and find the right lenses for your eyes with a contact lens fitting.
The path to your perfect contact lens
- Consultation and eye examination: In a detailed initial consultation, we assess your visual problems, health conditions and special requirements for contact lenses. This is followed by a thorough eye examination, during which we check your visual acuity and the health of your eyes.
- Determining the right contact lens strength: Based on your individual visual defect, we determine the optimum lens strength for each eye. A precise determination is particularly important for different visual acuities.
- Measurement of the cornea: We use the latest measuring technology (keratometer) to measure the shape and curvature of your cornea. This measurement is crucial for selecting the right lens size and curvature.
- Lens selection and fitting: We select the best contact lenses for you based on all the measurement results. We insert the trial lenses and carefully check the fit and the quality of your vision.
- Instruction and advice: You will receive detailed instruction on the correct handling of your contact lenses. We will show you how to insert, remove and care for the lenses correctly.
- Follow-up check: After the first fitting, regular check-ups are important. Here we check the fit of the lenses, your satisfaction and the health of your eyes.
When is a contact lens fitting necessary?
A professional contact lens fitting is the cornerstone for healthy and comfortable vision with contact lenses. It is particularly important in the following situations:
- First contact lens fitting: When you decide to wear contact lenses for the first time, a careful fitting is essential. We not only determine the correct lens strength, but also select the optimum lens type for you.
- Changes in vision: As soon as your vision changes, presbyopia occurs or astigmatism develops, a new fitting is required. This is the only way we can ensure that you continue to see optimally.
- Comfort problems with existing lenses: Dry eyes, a foreign body sensation or blurred vision can be signs that your contact lenses need to be refitted. A timely check prevents possible complications.
- Change of lens type: If you want to change from soft to rigid lenses or switch to a different wearing mode, a new fitting is necessary. This also applies to a change of lens material.
