Contact Lens Test
Whitby & Co Opticians in London – Contact Lens Appointments with Experts
At Whitby & Co, we will find the right contact lenses for you.
What to expect
you contact lens appointment include additional tests to a routine eye test:
- Your Optometrist will review the types of lenses available, suitable for your visual requirements
- Several eye measurements will be taken. These include:
- The corneal curvature measurement – to ensure the lens curve aligns with the eye
- Pupil and iris measurement
- An anterior eye examination will be carried out to ensure the eye is healthy and suitable for contact lens wear
- Once the recommended type of lens has been agreed, the Optometrist will help you fit the lens of your choice
- Any issues with the fitting can be reviewed in the course of your appointment, and alternative options considered
- If it is your first time wearing contact lenses, you will be shown how to insert, remove and clean your new lenses safely and correctly
- For follow-up appointments, your eyelids and the front of your eye will be examined for any changes arising from contact lens wear, and any modifications to your choice of lens, or lens care regime, will be considered
When trying out new lenses, we can often provide a complimentary trial supply. This is normally followed by a follow-up appointment to assess whether your chosen lens choice is suitable and problem-free before formally prescribed. This is the best way to ensure you are happy with your choice of contact lens, your lenses are well-tolerated and meet your daily needs.
