The thought of putting something onto your eyeball is unnerving for many people! To be certain, it can be unpleasant the first few times, however with the care of an optometrists (or their assistant) first-time contact lens wearers quickly learn the proper insertion techniques. Here is my quick guide to starting with contact lenses:
- Find a local optometrist. Check an optometrist directory such as http://optometrydirectory.ca/ to find local eye doctors. Most optometrists can dispense contact lenses, but call ahead to make sure.
- Make an appointment, and show up on time. Optometrists are rarely impressed by late patients.
- The optometrist will assess your eyes and determine if you can safely wear contacts. If so, they can fit you with a trial pair to test for comfort.
- Order a supply of contact lenses. You can order them with you optometrist, or if they don't carry what you need, you can order contact online at http://canadacontactlenses.ca.
- Remember to follow your optometrist's instructions for proper care and handling! Change your lenses on schedule to avoid dangerous eye infections.
