Are contact lenses a fit for you?
Contact lenses are a great way to correct and protect your vision with the freedom from having to wear and carry glasses!
They allow for you to see your best without interfering too much with your daily habits, lifestyle, or outward appearance!
While there are extra steps that you may need to take in order to switch from glasses to contact lenses, it can be a freeing experience to be able to see clearly without having to carry your glasses everywhere you go!
There are many factors that go in to determining if contact lenses are the right fit for your lifestyle. These may include your level vision correction, any pre-existing conditions that you may have, and your daily needs.
For most patients without eye disease, infection, or more extreme complications, contact lenses can be a great fit for you!
The first thing you will need to do, when looking to switch to contact lenses, is to schedule an appointment with your optometrist or eye doctor.
At Punzal Vision we have a friendly and professional staff who will help you to schedule an appointment and get your eyes tested to determine whether you are a fit for contact lenses.
Once you have received our comprehensive eye examination, Dr. Punzal will determine and help you to decide if contact lenses are both a good fit for you and your lifestyle, and truly supportive of the health of your eyes and vision.
During your Contact Lens Appointment, Dr. Punzal will take measurements in order to set you up with an initial pair of contact lenses to test out and live with for a few days.
Our staff will walk you through the basics of how to insert and remove your contact lenses, how to keep them clean, and the necessary routines around caring for your contact lenses.
You will then proceed with a trial run of your new contact lenses!
This means wearing them, and testing them out on a daily basis, to see if they are good fit and supportive of your vision.
During this trial period, you will note any discomfort or issues that you may have with your vision after switching to your new contact lenses.
Sharing this with Dr. Punzal and our team will help to make any necessary adjustments to your initial trial contact lenses so that we can update your prescription if necessary and get you set up with your final contact lens prescription!
After a few days of wearing your new contact lenses we will see you for a follow up visit and once we have determined that your new lenses fit properly and are supportive of your vision, Dr. Punzal will then write your final contact lens prescription.
This contact lens prescription is generally valid for one year, and allows you to continue throughout your daily life having made the switch from wearing glasses on a daily basis to wearing contact lenses!
Dr. Punzal will review your prescription each time that you come in for your annual eye examination, and will give you a contact lens replacement schedule based on the type of lenses and requirements of the lenses that you have been prescribed.
We would love to help you determine if contact lenses are the right fit for you, and see if this is an adjustment to your lifestyle and eyewear prescription that may benefit you!
