Choosing contact lenses is more than picking a prescription, it’s about ensuring comfort, safety, and vision that works for your eyes and your lifestyle. At The Eye Wearhouse in Olds, Alberta, we provide professional Contact Lens Training & Fitting to make sure your lenses are a perfect fit and you feel confident using them.
Why Contact Lense Fitting Sessions & Training Are Important
A proper contact lens fitting makes all the difference in your experience. The right fit improves comfort, preventing issues like lenses that shift, cause irritation, or feel dry. It also ensures clear vision, since even small mismatches in curvature, size, or thickness can impact how sharp and stable your sight is.
A professional fitting helps prevent complications such as infections, scratches, or other eye health concerns that come from ill-fitting or poorly handled lenses. With the right guidance, you’ll also enjoy better long-term results and value, as properly maintained lenses last as intended and save you from unnecessary costs. Most importantly, a fitting gives you confidence, knowing when and how to wear your lenses, care for them, and address problems, so your daily routine feels simple and stress-free.
I’ve Worn Contact Lenses Before. Why Do I Still Need a Fitting?
Even if you’ve worn contacts before, a fitting is still important. Your eyes can change over time, and what worked in the past may not be the best option now. A professional fitting ensures your lenses match your current eye shape, tear quality, and lifestyle. It also gives you access to the latest lens technology for better comfort, clearer vision, and healthier eyes. Just like updating your glasses prescription, a contact lens fitting keeps your vision sharp and your eyes protected.
Who Benefits Most from a Professional Contact Lense Fitting
You’ll especially gain from a fitting if you are:
- Trying contacts for the first time
- Already wearing lenses but feeling discomfort or irritation
- Having vision needs like astigmatism, multifocal, or special prescriptions
- Experiencing dryness or sensitivity in your eyes
- Wanting expert advice on lens types and care to suit your lifestyle
What Happens During a Contact Lense Fitting Session
