A thorough eye examination by a qualified optometrist ensures that the contacts you wear are suitable for your eyes. Everyone's eyes have unique shapes and sizes, and wearing ill-fitting contacts can cause discomfort, irritation, or abrasions on the cornea.

Contact lenses provide many benefits to wearers worldwide, but there are some risks if not used correctly. Most conditions can be treated by your optometrist if treatment is started quickly, but more serious disorders can lead to ulcers and potentially permanent vision loss.

Patients who were told they could never wear contacts in the past are now often finding true success with these new scleral contact lenses.
