Contact Lens Fitting
Any contact lens must fulfill all the following criteria:
- Clear vision
- Comfortable
- Safe
In our centre, we prescribe and fit the following types of contact lenses:
- Hydrogel and silicone hydrogel soft contact lenses
- Rigid Gas Permeable Lenses
- Daily wear contact lenses
- Continuous wear lenses that are worn continuously for more than one day
- Spherical lenses that correct for short or long-sightedness
- Toric lenses that correct for astigmatism
- Multifocal lenses for people who need corrections for both distance and near
- Monovision: one eye corrected for distance and the other for near
- Disposable lenses: daily, weekly, biweekly or monthly
- Conventional soft lenses that are worn daily and replaced in 6 months
- Colour contact lenses that change the appearance of the colour of your eyes
We also cater for people with special needs or conditions:
- Eyes that are sensitive, dry or easily fatigued
- Mainly for outdoor activities
- Work indoors under air-conditioning
- Needs longer wearing hours
- Occasional wearers
- Highly astigmatic
- Presbyopic (people over age 40 and require reading corrections)
- Cosmesis: different iris colours or bigger iris appearance)
As everyone is different in terms of their ocular conditions, corneal curvatures, iris diameters, tears quality, refractive errors, visual needs, life styles and working environment, anyone who wants to wear contact lenses should have their eyes properly examined before professional recommendations can be made.
To ensure long term safety, regular aftercare is essential in maintaining ocular health, clear vision and comfort.
