CONTACT LENSES
Whether you’re a first-time lens wearer or you’ve recently had a prescription change, it’s essential to ensure a proper fit. When lenses are not properly fitted, it can prove to be uncomfortable and can lead to vision problems, infections, or scarring. That’s where we come in.
To ensure a proper contact lens fitting, Collette will perform a comprehensive eye exam to check your level of refractive error and will also check for any conditions that could interfere with wearing contact lenses. The shape of your eye and personal lifestyle are also important factors in determining the right lens for you. If you spend a significant amount of time outdoors or lead an active lifestyle, that may require a different lens type.
Following a proper assessment, the doctor will ensure the best fit for your eyes and overall vision health.Moreover, we will show you how to insert and remove lenses, and generally, how to properly care for them.
Additional follow-up appointments may be needed in order to monitor and assess the fitting and overall comfort level.Specialized in fitting traditional and specialty contact lenses, Collette will find the proper fit for all patients, from the simple near-sighted first-time wearer to the complex astigmatic, bifocal or diseased cornea patient.
FITTING CONSULTATION
During your fitting consultation we will examine your ocular surfaces and your eyes’ tear film and assess if contact lenses are suitable for you.
Once the appropriate lenses have been chosen we will teach you how to insert and remove your lenses, and discuss lens care and hygiene with you.
MYOPIA MANAGEMENT FOR CHILDREN
At Collette Norton Opticians, we offer specialized contact lenses designed to do more than just correct vision, they can help slow the progression of myopia (short-sightedness) in children as their eyes grow. Children with myopia can experience an increase in their prescription over time, which may increase the risk of serious eye conditions later in life.
Our myopia management solutions, such as Orthokeratology (Ortho-K) and MiSight® 1 Day Lenses, are clinically proven to reduce the progression of myopia. These lenses work by reshaping the cornea or using a unique multi-focal design to slow eye growth.
Why Choose Myopia Management?
Slows myopia progression reduces the risk of eye conditions like retinal detachment and glaucoma. Improves quality of life with clearer vision and fewer prescription changes.
