A contact lens fitting involves measuring your eye’s curvature, diameter, and tear film quality, followed by trying different lens types to ensure proper fit and comfort.

Modern contact lenses, especially daily disposables and silicone hydrogel materials, are designed for all-day comfort, and most wearers don’t feel them once properly fitted. Comfort depends on proper fit, lens material, and individual eye characteristics. At Choose Healthy Contacts, we ensure that our offering is of the highest quality and comfort.
Contact lenses offer freedom from glasses for sports, social activities, and provide a wider field of vision without fogging, slipping, or breaking. They’re ideal for part-time wear during specific activities or occasions.

Contact lenses may be right for you if you want freedom from glasses, have an active lifestyle, need better peripheral vision, aesthetic preference, comfort, and convenience. Your eye doctor can determine candidacy based on your eye health, tear production, and lifestyle needs.

At Choose Healthy Contacts, we offer only the highest quality contact lenses to minimize dryness and ensure ease of use.

If your contact lens falls out, don’t panic – rinse it with saline solution, inspect for damage, and reinsert it if it’s clean and undamaged. Replace with a fresh lens if it’s torn or contaminated.
Stop contact lenses from moving by ensuring proper fit through professional fitting, using rewetting drops for better lens adherence, and avoiding rubbing your eyes. Persistent movement may indicate wrong lens parameters.

Clean contact lenses by washing your hands, placing the lens in your palm with multipurpose solution, gently rubbing for 20 seconds, rinsing with fresh solution, and storing in a clean case with new solution.
Replace your contact lens case every 3 months or sooner if it becomes cracked, damaged, or contaminated. A fresh case reduces the risk of bacterial contamination and eye infections.
Never use tap water to clean contact lenses, as it contains bacteria, parasites, and chemicals that can cause serious eye infections like Acanthamoeba keratitis. Only use sterile saline or multipurpose contact lens solutions.
Use the contact lens solution recommended by your eye care professional, typically a multipurpose solution that cleans, disinfects, and stores lenses. Avoid solutions with preservatives if you have sensitive eyes.
