BEFORE YOUR VISIT
Prepare for your visit:
- watching the training videos
- practice at home before your visit
- keep fingernails trimmed
- it is helpful if you don't wear mascara to your training
WHAT TO EXPECT AT YOUR TRAINING
A trained technician will guide you through proper contact lens care, insertion, and removal. This 30-minute session is a learning process, and it’s perfectly okay if you don’t get it right away—we’re here to help you practice patiently until you’re comfortable.
Once you can insert and remove the lenses correctly, we’ll check the fit to ensure they're right for your eyes. You’ll take home trial lenses to continue practicing.
A follow-up with the doctor will be scheduled in 7–14 days to make sure the lenses are working well before placing your order. This follow-up is included in your contact lens service fee.
