CONTACT LENS TRIAL

A sight
test or
current
prescription
will be
needed
for your
initial
appointment.
Our
qualified
optician
will
carry
out
tests to
assess
your
suitability
for
contact
lens
wear.
These
tests
include:
-
slit
lamp
examination
which
enables
microscopic
evaluation
of the
external
eye
-
measurement
of the
curvature
of the
eye,
enabling
our
optician
to
select a
lens
which is
suitable
for your
eyes
-
discussions
as to
which
type of
lens is
most
suitable
for you.
(For
example,
soft or
gas
permeable
lenses,
durable
or
disposable
lenses.)
The
optician
will
then
insert a
pair of
contact
lenses
into
your
eyes.
Initially
there
may be
slight
discomfort,
so a
period
of about
10
minutes
is
required
for the
lenses
to
settle.
The
optician
will
then
advise
on how
to
insert
and
remove
the
contact
lenses,
tips on
how to
handle
the
lenses,
hygiene,
cleaning
and
disinfection.
When the
optician
is happy
that you
can
insert
and
remove
your
lenses,
you may
then
take the
lenses
home for
a trial
period,
between
5 and 14
days,
depending
on the
type of
lens.
At the
end of
this
period,
another
check is
necessary
to make
sure
that
your
eyes
have not
reacted
to
contact
lens
wear.
This
check
also
gives
you an
opportunity
to
discuss
with the
optician
your
experiences
during
the
trial.
Provided
you have
been
happy,
the
final
contact
lenses
may then
be
ordered.
