Soft contact lens fitting

Soft contact lenses are the ideal middle ground for those who no longer want to wear glasses but are not yet ready for more radical solutions.

Lenses cannot simply be bought off the shelf: every person has specific anatomical features of the eye, and incorrect fitting can lead to unpleasant complications. The ophthalmologist will carry out preliminary diagnostics to determine whether any infectious conditions, dry eye syndrome, or other contraindications to wearing lenses are present.
During diagnostics, visual acuity in each eye is assessed, along with refraction, accommodative status, fundus appearance, and corneal thickness and shape.

Soft contact lens fitting

If any issues are identified, the doctor recommends treatment; if not, contact lenses are fitted.
Contact lenses are selected strictly on an individual basis for each patient. The correct fit is essential — otherwise the eye will be uncomfortable.
At the appointment, the ophthalmologist determines all relevant parameters of the eyes in order to select the appropriate lens diameter, base curve radius, and curvature. Modern medical equipment enables this to be done with the greatest precision.
Our clinics work with leading contemporary lens manufacturers: Johnson & Johnson, CooperVision, SkyOptix, and OKVision.

Selecting the appropriate lens type

For comfortable lens wear, it is important to observe the wearing period specified by the manufacturer. Lenses are categorised by replacement schedule as daily, frequent planned replacement, and planned replacement.

  • Daily disposables are soft lenses that are replaced every day. They offer the greatest comfort, hygiene and safety, though they are more expensive than other types.
  • Frequent planned replacement lenses are soft lenses with a wearing period of two weeks to one month. The most durable and economical option is planned replacement lenses, which include monthly, quarterly, and annual varieties.

How to choose contact lenses correctly

  • Book an appointment or a diagnostic examination with an ophthalmologist for soft contact lens fitting to establish an accurate diagnosis and determine eye parameters.
  • Opt for silicone hydrogel lenses — the most modern and comfortable material.
  • Daily disposable lenses are the safest and most convenient option.
  • Modern lenses can address almost any optical problem: astigmatism, myopia, hyperopia, keratoconus, anisometropia.
  • If lenses need to be replaced frequently, do not cut corners on accessories.
  • Replace solutions in a timely manner.
  • Follow the simple rules of lens use and observe the recommended wearing schedule.
