Question: Why do I need an eye test before buying contact lenses? Can’t I just use the same power as my glasses?
Soft Contact Lens
Answer: Contact lens fitting is different from glasses. Glasses sit away from the eye, while contact lenses sit directly on the cornea. Because of this, power may need adjustment, especially for higher prescriptions. We also need to assess your corneal shape, tear quality, and eye health to choose the correct lens safely.
