How to fill out medical contact lenses fitting:

1. Schedule an appointment with an optometrist or ophthalmologist who specializes in contact lenses fitting.
2. During the appointment, provide your complete medical and eye health history to the healthcare professional. This includes any existing eye conditions, allergies, or previous experiences with contact lenses.
3. Inform the healthcare professional about any medications you are taking, as certain medications may affect the fit and comfort of contact lenses.

5. Discuss your lifestyle and daily activities to determine the most suitable type of contact lenses for you. Factors such as occupation, hobbies, and sports can influence the choice of lenses.
6. The healthcare professional will take precise measurements of your eye's shape and size to ensure a proper fit. This may involve using a keratometer or topographer to measure the curvature of your cornea.
7. Try on different types and brands of contact lenses to find the most comfortable option. The healthcare professional will guide you in inserting and removing the lenses and provide instructions on care and maintenance.
8. Once you have selected the right contact lenses, the healthcare professional will finalize the fitting process by prescribing the appropriate lens specifications, such as the power, base curve, and diameter.

Who needs medical contact lenses fitting?

1. People with refractive errors: Medical contact lenses fitting is necessary for individuals with myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness), astigmatism, or presbyopia (age-related near vision loss). The fitting ensures that the prescribed lenses correct these refractive errors effectively.
2. Individuals with specific eye conditions: People with certain eye conditions, such as keratoconus (thinning of the cornea), irregular corneal shape, corneal scarring, or post-surgical needs, require specialized contact lenses fitting to achieve optimal vision and comfort.
3. Those seeking an alternative to glasses: Some individuals prefer contact lenses over glasses for cosmetic reasons or to have an unobstructed field of vision. Fitting ensures that the lenses sit properly on the eye and provide clear and comfortable vision.
4. Patients experiencing discomfort with current lenses: If you are already using contact lenses but experiencing discomfort, redness, dryness, or vision fluctuations, a medical contact lenses fitting can help identify and address any issues with lens fit or design.
5. Children and teens: If a child or teenager requires contact lenses due to visual impairments or specific eye conditions, a fitting with an optometrist is essential to ensure a proper fit and to educate them on safe lens wear and hygiene practices.
