Contact Lens Fitting
It is important to understand that switching to contact lenses requires appointments with your optometrist so that precise measurements of your eyes can be taken. This procedure is called contact lens fitting, and it’s fundamental to prevent issues like discomfort, dryness, and other complications. Thorough examinations also allow optometrists to detect any underlying eye condition that may prevent you from using certain types of lenses. Contact us today to schedule a contact lens fitting and get started with contact lenses!
Explore the Benefits of Switching to Contact Lenses!
Apart from providing you with a different look, wearing contact lenses can bring a wide variety of benefits to you. Some of these advantages include:
- A wider field of view: Though contact lenses are considerably smaller than glasses, they can provide you with a much wider field of view. This is because they are in constant contact with your eyes, which significantly improves your peripheral vision. Activities such as reading, using your phone or even driving can be easier with contact lenses.
- Less stress when playing sports: One of the biggest complaints people have about glasses is that they need to be removed during physical activities. Contact lenses offer a more secure fit, allowing you to stay active without worrying about them falling out of your eyes!
- Won’t fog up in cold weather: Different weather conditions may affect the quality of your vision if you are wearing glasses. For instance, glass lenses may get foggy during the winter, which requires constant cleaning while you are outdoors. Contact lenses are not affected by any weather condition, providing you with a clear vision whenever you need it.
- Complementary to any style: Unlike glasses, you don’t have to worry about matching your contact lenses with your outfit or the occasion you are attending. Contact lenses are nearly invisible and can be worn in any situation!
- Change your eye colour! Apart from correcting your vision, contact lenses also give you the possibility of trying different looks. They usually come in a variety of different tints, allowing you to experiment with different eye colours.
- No glare: Many of those who wear glasses find it annoying when they experience the glare effect coming from external light sources. This typically happens because there is a small distance between your eyes and your glasses, which allows light to find its way into that gap, hitting your lenses and causing the undesirable effect. Contact lenses are, as the name suggests, in contact with your eyes, preventing any glare effect from distracting you and affecting your vision.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are Contact Lenses right for me?
Contact lenses can correct nearly any vision issue that eyeglasses can, making them a great option for many people. Whether you are nearsighted, farsighted, or need multifocal lenses, there is a contact lens for you. Some people wear them daily, while others prefer them just for special occasions or sports. If you’re new to contacts, The Optometrists’ Clinic Edmonton offers hands-on training to help you get started. Visit us to find out which contact lenses are right for you.
What are the different types of contact lenses?
At Optometrists’ Clinic Edmonton, we offer a variety of contact lenses from top brands, including ACUVUE®, CIBA VISION®, Bausch + Lomb, and CooperVision. Contact lenses come in different materials and styles, each offering unique benefits:
- Soft Contact Lenses: Made from flexible materials, these lenses are comfortable and easy to adapt to, making them a popular choice for first-time users.
- Hard Contact Lenses: Also known as rigid gas permeable (RGP) lenses, these offer sharper vision for some individuals, especially those with astigmatism. They are also more durable and resistant to protein buildup.
Can Contact Lenses help with different eye conditions?
Yes, contact lenses can correct various vision issues. The type of lens you need depends on your specific condition:
- Single Vision: These lenses correct either nearsightedness (myopia) or farsightedness (hyperopia) and are available in both soft and hard materials.
- Astigmatism (Toric Lenses): Designed for individuals with astigmatism, toric lenses provide a stable fit to prevent vision from appearing blurry or distorted.
- Presbyopia (Multifocal Lenses): These lenses combine multiple prescriptions in one, allowing clear vision at all distances—near, intermediate, and far.
How do I take care of my contact lenses?
Proper lens care is essential for eye health and comfort. Always wash your hands before handling your contacts, clean them with the recommended solution (never tap water), and replace them as directed by your optometrist. If you wear daily disposables, simply discard them at the end of the day. Regular eye exams will ensure your lenses fit well and your prescription remains up to date.
