Our contact lens staff works hard to make sure that we have the latest in choices for your prescription. Our technicians, along with the doctors, will help determine the right contact lens for your eye and your prescriptions. They are trained to assess many factors such as astigmatism needs and wearing schedule to determine what the best contact is for your individual needs.
Many people request a specific brand of contacts because they saw them advertised or because their friends have had great success with them. While it is important for the patient to be knowledgeable about the choices of contacts available, it is the job of the doctor to determine which contact is best for you. Your input, however, is also very important. Gathering this information begins with your visit with the doctor's assistant who does your pretesting. Your prescription, wearing habits and the shape of your eyes all play an important role in determining which contacts you should wear.
If you have any questions about a certain brand of contacts or if they are right for you, feel free to ask your doctor or the contact lens technician that assists you. |
