If you're thinking about getting contact lenses for yourself or your child, one of the first steps is to schedule a contact lens exam appointment. These appointments are designed to determine if you are a good candidate for contact lenses and what type of lenses you need.
Before your appointment, however, it's a good idea to take a few small steps to prepare. Eye-Site of Boynton Beach, FL, is here to help you learn what you need to know.
Start by asking yourself or your child the following questions. The optometrist will need to know this information during the exam, so make sure you have taken the time to think about the answers.
Contact lenses will require regular cleaning and proper storage. If your child has trouble remembering to brush their teeth every day, or won't do it correctly, it might be a good idea to wait on contact lenses.
The choices that you have will depend on your exact prescription but start thinking now about whether you want lenses that you throw away every night or ones that last for several weeks. Daily disposables are easier to take care of, but they cost more than lenses that you only have to replace every three months.
Some people will want to wear their lenses all day, while others may only want to wear them for sports or going out. If you're going to wear your glasses a lot, then consider investing in a nice pair or two. If you plan to mostly stick with contacts, then make sure you get lenses that are comfortable and designed to be worn all day.
