Why Contact Lenses
Sometimes glasses can be like peering through a window.
Because contact lenses move with your eye, they offer a natural field of view, and usually better sight with no risk of splashing mud or rain across the lenses and no frames to obstruct your vision.
Contact Lens Fittings
Because contact lenses need to form to the shape of your eye, they also need to be fitted to you specifically.
If you’ve been wearing contact lenses for years, getting you a new supply or an updated prescription is pretty easy, but if this is your first time, we’ll need to schedule a fitting session. Because Health Canada classifies contacts as a medical device, we need to make sure they fit you properly and that you’re comfortable with them.
We’ll schedule the fitting session for some time after your regular eye exam, when your contact lenses have arrived. That varies a bit depending on postal service speed, but it won’t be more than 10 – 14 days. We’ll be able to give you an idea of how quickly you can expect to get in for a fitting based on recent delivery times when you’re scheduling your appointment.
The fitting session has a $100 flat fee and will last about an hour.
