Enhance your vision, enhance your life with a Professional Contact Lens Fitting
Contact lenses are medical devices that aid in vision correction. Many times our patients come in with poorly fitting contact lenses they have been unknowingly wearing for years. Incorrectly fit contacts can cause a variety of problems including poor vision, ocular discomfort, inability to wear contacts for extended periods of time, and infections leading to significant visual impairment.

Contact Lens Eye Exam & Fitting - Frequently Asked Questions
Saftey First: Why You Shouldn't Buy Contact Lenses Online
Contact lenses offer a fantastic alternative to glasses, providing freedom and clear vision. However, with the ease of online shopping, a common question asked is: can I safely purchase contacts online without an eye exam and fitting?
Though one easily can, Optometrists (eye doctors) and Opthalmologists (eye surgeons) highly recommend against it. The answer is due to the risks involved and the potential for perminenent and irreversible vision damage.
Here's why getting fitted by a licensed eye doctor is the optimal approach for your eye health:
- Ensuring a Perfect Fit: Contact lenses are not a one-size-fits-all solution. An eye doctor conducts a fitting to guarantee the lenses perfectly match your unique eye shape and curvature. Ill-fitting lenses can cause discomfort, potentially scratch your cornea, and even hinder oxygen flow to your eye, leading to complications down the road.
- Safety First: Avoiding Counterfeits: Unfortunately, counterfeit contact lenses can be a hidden danger online. These imitations may not be made with the same high-quality materials or go through the same rigorous safety checks as FDA-approved brands. This can significantly increase your risk of eye infections and irritation.
- The Importance of Regular Eye Exams: Beyond contact lens fitting, regular eye exams play a vital role in maintaining good vision. Your eye doctor can detect early signs of eye diseases like glaucoma or cataracts before they impact your sight. Skipping these exams in favor of online convenience might mean missing out on critical preventative care.
- Personalized Guidance from Professionals: Online retailers simply cannot offer the level of expertise available from a qualified eye doctor. During a fitting, your doctor can advise you on proper contact lens care practices, teach you safe insertion and removal techniques, and address any questions or concerns you may have.
Your eyes are irreplaceable. When it comes to your vision health, it's wise to prioritize safety and personalized care. Scheduling regular eye exams with a trusted doctor allows for proper contact lens fitting and ensures a comfortable, clear vision experience.
