At Eyear Optical, we provide expert contact lens fitting in our Chattanooga and Cleveland offices.

Whether you're new to contacts or switching to a new lens, we're here to guide you and provide ongoing eye care.

Why is a Professional Contact Lens Fitting Important?

Contact lenses are not "one size fits all." A proper fit ensures effective vision correction, ongoing comfort, and a reduced risk of complications. At Eyear Optical, we conduct a thorough assessment of your vision needs, eye shape, lifestyle, and overall eye health during each fitting. Additionally, we prioritize safe wear, comfort, and convenience, which are crucial for the long-term success of wearing contact lenses.

Personalised Consultation & Eye Health Check

Your contact lens journey starts with understanding your eyes and vision needs. Here's what to expect during your first appointment:

Vision Test: We assess your prescription and how well your eyes focus and track.
Eye Health Check: Using slit lamp microscopy, we assess your tear film stability and the health of your eye surface.
Lifestyle Needs: Share details about your screen use, sports, and occasional lens wear.
Lens History: We'll ask about your past contact lens experiences and any discomfort you may have experienced.
Diagnostic Fitting: We'll select trial lenses based on your prescription and eye anatomy to ensure a good fit.

This process enables us to tailor your contact lens experience to your specific needs.
