Contact lenses:

 

1) We fit contact lenses for patients, but as we are concerned with the overall health of the eye, we may feel that it is necessary to wait for the time being or that they are not appropriate at all. The procedure for fitting lenses requires a minimum of 3 visits.

 

2) There is a fitting appointment required to determine which lenses would work for you, if we decide that you are a candidate.

 

3) There is an appointment to teach you how to insert, remove, and care for the lenses. This appointment will be a minimum of 1 hour.

 

4) For the teach appointment it is critical that long hair/bangs be away from the eyes and face.

 

5) A follow-up appointment is needed to see how the lenses are sitting on your eye, and if any adjustments need to be made. It is important for this appointment that the lenses be inserted at least 1 hour prior to the visit.

 

6) The lenses will be purchased through our office.

 

7) When you need a new supply of contact lenses, call our office to request another supply. If you leave a message, please include which eye(s) you need and the quantity.

 

8) It is best to call when you start the 2nd last pack of disposable lenses, to allow time for the order to arrive before you run out.
