Contact Lens Clinic

Contact lens Clinic

Contact lenses not only enhance visual acuity and appearance, but also improve performance in different visual tasks, help avoid fogging of glasses in different environments, and also improve performance of other fast activities like sports.

Contact lenses are medical devices placed on the eyes and that’s the reason they require expert fitting and careful instruction, as well as conscientious care and compliance with recommended follow-up examinations to maintain the healthy functioning of your eyes. To insure your contact lens success, we would like to familiarize you with our contact lens procedures and policies.

The goal of contact lens fitting is to find the most appropriate contact lens for your optimal comfort and vision. An enormous variety of types, styles, materials, sizes and colors are offered. We are committed to taking the required time and making the effort to find the perfect lenses that suit you best. Although many patients need only one fitting session, some require several appointments. In our experience, the extra time, effort and patience are very worthwhile, both for your ultimate satisfaction and the health of your eyes.
