Assessment and ongoing care
Contact lens fitting in Perth
A contact lens fitting considers more than your prescription. At Ezekiel Eyes in Nedlands, I assess your eyes and discuss your visual needs to help identify a suitable lens option. This guide explains the fitting process and the care that follows.
From assessment to follow-up
01
Initial assessment
We discuss your visual goals, previous lens experience and daily needs, then assess your prescription, eye shape and ocular health.
02
Measurements appropriate to the lens
The measurements depend on the lens type and the eye being assessed. Corneal shape and ocular surface assessment are particularly relevant when considering individually designed lenses.
03
Lens selection or trial
An appropriate design is selected. A trial may help assess how a lens sits on the eye and how you see and feel while wearing it. Not every lens follows exactly the same trial process.
04
Checking vision and refining fit
Vision, fit, comfort and eye health guide reassessment. Where needed, the design is adjusted in response to the findings and your experience.
05
Handling and care instruction
Where needed, you receive guidance on application, removal, cleaning and day-to-day use. Advice is specific to your lenses, including whether they are daily disposable, reusable or an overnight Ortho-K design.
06
Follow-up and ongoing care
Follow-up appointments assess vision, comfort, fit and eye health, with further adjustments where appropriate. Specialty fitting may involve several visits; the number depends on the lens and your individual response.
First-time wearers
You do not need to choose a lens before assessment. Discuss the activities that matter to you and ask about handling and care. Soft contact lenses are one possible starting point, depending on your prescription and eyes.
Exploring a different lens
Explain what has and has not worked with previous lenses. Vision, comfort and everyday needs help frame the assessment. You can compare lens options without assuming that a particular design will suit you.
More complex requirements
Keratoconus, irregular corneas and complex prescriptions may prompt discussion of scleral lenses, RGP lenses or other individually assessed options. The process depends on the findings, not a fixed lens sequence.
Before your appointment
If you already wear contact lenses, contact the practice before your appointment to check whether you should wear them, bring them with you or leave them out beforehand. Advice may differ depending on the lenses you wear and the assessment planned.
