Contact Lens Fittings |

Contact lenses are a medical device which require proper fit and care to maintain healthy eyes by an eye doctor. Dr. LaPaglia will help you determine the best design and modality of contact lenses specifically suited for your eyes, prescription, and lifestyle. There are many choices available today for patients who wear contact lenses. Contacts are more comfortable to wear than ever, and new advances continue to make contacts an option for people with various types of refractive error.

Contact lenses are medical devices that must be monitored and properly cared for to avoid complications. When contact lenses are worn as instructed, the risk to your eye health and vision are low. However, medications, environmental factors, other health concerns, non-compliance, over wear, or individual response may affect the success of your contact lens experience.
