What is a Contact Lens Fitting?
A contact lens fitting involves a detailed assessment of your eyes to determine the most suitable type and size of contact lenses. This process ensures that your lenses fit correctly, providing comfort and clear vision while minimizing the risk of eye infections or complications.

Trial Lenses:
