What to Expect During Your Contact Lens Training
- Personalized Introduction to Contact Lens Care: Every contact lens wearer has unique needs, and our training starts with understanding yours. Dr. Fein and our team take the time to discuss your lifestyle, any vision concerns, and the specific contact lenses best suited for you. We also cover the differences between daily, bi-weekly, and monthly lenses, as well as specialty options for astigmatism or multifocal needs. By personalizing your training, we ensure you’re set up for success with lenses that fit both your eyes and your life.
- Hands-On Training: Mastering the Basics: Handling contact lenses may seem challenging at first, but our hands-on approach is designed to help you feel confident and secure. During the training, we’ll teach you:
- Proper Application Techniques: We walk you through the process of applying your lenses, focusing on techniques that make insertion smooth and simple. You’ll have the chance to practice with guidance, so by the end of the session, you’ll feel comfortable putting in your lenses on your own.
- Safe Removal: Knowing how to safely remove contact lenses is just as important as applying them. Our team will show you the best methods for lens removal, minimizing any discomfort or difficulty.
- Hygiene Essentials: We prioritize lens safety, and that starts with proper hygiene. From handwashing to using appropriate cleaning solutions, we cover everything you need to know to protect your eyes and keep your lenses in top condition.
- Cleaning and Storage Best Practices: Keeping your lenses clean is crucial for maintaining eye health. We provide comprehensive guidance on how to clean, rinse, and store your lenses safely to prevent infections and other complications. For reusable lenses, you’ll learn how to use cleaning solutions, how often to replace your lens case, and tips for ensuring your lenses are ready to wear each day. By the end of your training, you’ll be equipped with the skills and knowledge to keep your lenses in optimal condition.
