Contact Lens Fitting

Laser eye surgery

Tailored Comfort For Your Unique Eyes

We don’t just sell contact lenses—we engineer the perfect fit. Our HPCSA-registered optometrists use digital corneal mapping and tear film analysis to match you with lenses that feel invisible, whether you’re correcting astigmatism, presbyopia, or just craving freedom from glasses.

What's included in a basic eye exam?

1. Digital Eye Mapping

  • Corneal Topography: 3D scan of your eye’s surface to pinpoint irregularities.

  • Pupil & Iris Measurement: Ensures lenses center correctly, especially for night driving.

3. Trial Lenses + Training

    • Hands-on insertion/removal demo (we won’t let you leave until you’re confident).

    • Brand samples: Test dailies, monthlies, or toric lenses for astigmatism.

2. Lifestyle Assessment

  • We’ll ask about:

    • Screen time habits (to combat dry eye)

    • Sports/activities (e.g., swimming = silicone hydrogel recommendations)

    • Makeup use (oil-free products for lens wearers)

4. Follow Up Visit

    • 1-week check: Adjust fit if needed (included in fitting fee).

    • Emergency support: Redness or discomfort? Call any branch for same-day help.

Are there any risks?
