Contact Lenses

Prescription for Contact Lenses

○Reasons why we recommend medical check before buying conctact lenses.

  1. To aviod using the wrong lenses
    In order to use contact lenses with correct data of your eye, you must receive medical check and prescription from an ophthalmologist. Since our eyesight changes time to time, you need a thorough inspections from a specialist. You cannot make a decision on your own. Nowadays, living environment is quite diversity so it is necessary to be deliberated carefully about your lens material, power, and shape.
  2. To choose appropriate brand
    There are various brand for contact lenses. It is difficult to choose the suitable lenses from others' evaluation and reviews. We recommend you to receive medical examination from an ophthalmologist and full explanation from the staff, and actually try wearing them before buying.
  3. To find eye diseases before using contact lenses
    There are several diseases that medically prohibit using contact lenses. For example, acute inflammation of anterior eye part, infectious eye disease, uveitis and heavy dry eye are some of the diseases. These diseases can only be diagnosed by ophthalmologists.
    Among these diseases, some of them can be easily noticed by subjective symptoms, but some can be difficult to see under lifestyle habits and other diseases.
    Also, most people leave some diseases untreated. Using contact lenses under those conditions can make the disease worse, and might completely lose your eyesight. By having medical check-up by an ophthalmologist, you can prevent the worst situation.
  4. For patients who have dry eye or eyestrain
    There are lots of people who feel dryness or eyestrain while using contact lens. It is important to judge if wearing contact lens is available for you or not. In addition, doctor will give you information; important point when you wear contact lens, which lens to choose.
  5. Reduce a risk when the lens didn’t fit
    In the case when the lens you bought didn’t fit, there might occur eyestrain or headache if you use them with too much enduring. Depending on the lens, it can cause keratitis or conjunctivitis so it is necessary to consult doctor before buy lens. We recommend you to buy lens at shop whose guarantee is substantial.
