HAVE YOUR SOFT CONTACTS FITTED AT VISIONS OF CANADA
GET A PROFESSIONAL FITTING OF YOUR CONTACT LENSES AT VISIONS OF CANADA
AND SEE THE DIFFERENCE A PROFESSIONAL FITTING CAN DO FOR YOU!
PAUL BOYKO JR. PROFESSIONAL OPTICIAN I have been fitting contact lenses since 1979. Back then contacts were actually fitted by thickness & diameter.

The contact lens industry has changed a lot over the past 25 years. All major brands of contact lenses are now created to have specific base curves. Many of them have more than one base curve so that we can fit a wide range of corneal curvatures.
We can fit patients with many different materials, designs, colors and to help for many specific reasons such as:
1) Dry eyes ( extreme H2O contact lenses )
2) Extended wear ( Night and Day contact lenses )
3) Correcting astigmatism ( Pure Vision Toric Contact Lenses )
4) Change your eye color ( Freshlook Color Contact Lenses )
5) Daily disposables ( Bausch and Lomb Soflens One Day Contact Lenses )
6) 1-2 week disposables ( Bausch & Lomb 2 Week Contact Lenses )
7) Monthly disposables ( CIBA Vision O2 Optiques )
8) Bifocal contacts ( Bausch & Lomb Bi-focal Contact Lenses )
When we start your contact lens fitting at Visions of Canada, I prefer a patient to begin with a new eye exam. The fitting always seems to go much nicer when a patient also rests their eyes from their contact lenses before the initial eye exam. This is very important for the patients
that don’t use Silicone Hydrogel contact lenses.

The list of procedures I like to do when I fit my contact lens patients:
1. Always start with a new eye examination prescription from a professional eye doctor.
2. Create a new patient file chart.
3. I like to start with a manual keratometry reading. A Keratometer is a light reflex machine measures the front curvature of the cornea & also gives first indication of the condition of the cornea.
4. Then I will do my Slit lamp evaluation. Zeiss slit lamps are great for looking at all the layers of the cornea, seeing into the anterior chamber, studying the tear film and a good look at the lids.
5. Then we do a trial lens fitting. The manufactures supply the optical industry new demonstrator contact lenses so that we can lenses to work with before you buy them.
6. I will watch and or teach a patient how to insert and remove their contact lenses.
7. Once the trial lenses are in, I like to check the patient’s visual acuity with them on.
Then I will do a red & green balancing test.
8. After the lenses are checked I like to use an auto refractor to check for left over astigmatism, the amount of astigmatism & the axis where it lies. This lets me know whether I want to consider toric contact lenses.
9. I will generally have a consultation with the contact lens patient about their wearing schedule, how long to keep the contact lenses, responsibilities and the cost of the lenses.
10. After all the fitting is complete I like to look at the contact lenses on the cornea, for movement and how the lens centers on the cornea. This also lets us see if the contacts are compatible with the eye.
11. I will then explain the disinfecting and storage system the patient will be using.
12. The last part is about scheduling follow up visits.
