Contact lenses are highly safe, with millions of users worldwide. They are simple to wear and remove, and they can correct nearly all refractive errors and some medical conditions. An optometrist or ophthalmologist conducts an eye examination before fitting contact lenses. This fitting can be done by an ophthalmologist, an optometrist, or a Florida-licensed optician who is specially certified by the state to fill, fit, adapt, and dispense contact lenses. The specialists assess your eyeglass prescription, the curvature of your cornea, and examine your eyes with instruments to ensure proper fit. During a quality fitting, they allow you to try the lenses to ensure they are ideal for you. Ignoring the recommended wearing schedule or the specialists' instructions can threaten your sight. Always have your lenses fitted and evaluated in person, and avoid substandard care through phone apps. Your eye health is our priority, which is why we conduct Digital Retinal Screenings to examine both the back and front of your eyes with Biomicroscopes. We also utilize an FDA-approved Advanced Digital Refraction System, which costs thousands of dollars, to ensure precise prescriptions for eyeglasses and contact lenses.
