Are Contact Lenses Right for You?
Contact lenses are a safe and easy way to correct your vision without glasses but they aren't the right fit for everyone. At Advanced Optical in Virginia, MN, our team will work with you to help you decide whether contacts are the right fit for your needs.
Who Is a Good Candidate for Contact Lenses?
If you need to wear your glasses regularly, you have healthy eyes that are generally free of problems, and you aren't interested in laser surgery, it's likely that you're a good candidate for contact lenses.
There are a few conditions that can make it harder or impossible for some people to wear contact lenses, including dry eye issues, cornea problems, recurrent eye infections, and certain work-related environmental factors. We will work with you to help you determine whether contact lenses might be the right fit for you.
Your First Contact Lens Fitting
When you come into the office for your contact lens fitting, the eye doctor will measure your eyes. Next, the eye doctor will talk with you about any of your specific eye care needs, such as whether you need contacts especially made for people who have astigmatism or other eye conditions.
Then, we will recommend contacts that may be a good fit for you. We will also talk with you about how to properly place and care for your contacts. You'll try on a few different pairs of contacts to figure out which brand and size work best for your eyes. Once you’re done with your fitting appointment, we may be able to send you home with a few boxes of contacts or you may need to wait a few days for your lenses to be delivered.
