Contact Lens Prescription
When you wear contact lenses chances are
you will need a prescription to get them. Many prescription contact lenses are
custom contact lenses made specifically to treat an existing vision problem.
There is however contacts such as
colored contact lenses that do not require a prescription to be had or
used. These kinds of contacts can pose a risk of vision damage and other health
problems to the user if he doesn’t properly care for.
How do you get contact lenses prescription and what regulations are surround
prescription contacts? In order to get a contact lens prescription, you must
visit your eye care physician for an eye exam and a contact lens fitting. The
optometrist will first check your eyes for health and vision quality. Once your
vision correction needs are determined, the doctor can then proceed to fit you
with contact lenses. This is usually accomplished by letting you wear diagnostic
lenses in order to evaluate the fit and vision quality. You will usually wear
the diagnostic lenses for some time before the doctor can properly evaluate the
lenses and prepare a final prescription for you.
A contact lens prescription is distinct from a prescription for glasses and will
last for one or two years, depending on which state you live in. Your vision
correction needs change over time and these laws ensure that you always have an
updated prescription to maintain proper eye health. Once a prescription expires,
you will not be able to buy any contact lenses until you get a new prescription.
Sometimes, an optometrist will refuse to prescribe contact lenses to a patient
if their eyes are not healthy enough to support the wear of contact lenses.
Without a doctor’s prescription, you cannot buy any type of contact lenses.
Remember that contact lenses are a regulated medical device that requires
constant monitoring by a specialist to minimize risks of medical complications
and possibility of vision loss.
Annual check-ups with your optometrist are essential when you start wearing
contact lenses. Often, you will not be able to feel or see small complications
that arise with your .eyes and vision ,
Since contact lenses rest directly on the eye’s surface, there is a high
potential for infections and complications to develop. External influences, such
as changes in what you consume, differences in your immediate environments, and
upsets in your health, can dramatically influence how contact lenses will
interact with your eyes. Your eye health should always be your number one
priority when wearing contact lenses.
Always make sure your contact lens prescription is valid and legal in the state
where you live. Take action to prevent faulty contact lens prescriptions by
filing a complaint with your state’s regulatory board if you suspect anything
wrong. Make sure that your prescription contains all of the necessary terms,
abbreviations and measurements that make it valid and legal before going to fill
it out.
