Contact lenses are visual correction instruments that adapt to the ocular surface, mainly the cornea, and although they are currently manufactured with the latest technology materials and strict quality standards, they can generate risks for ocular health, which is why a The patient must follow the instructions of the professional expert on the subject to avoid possible complications such as: eye infections, lacerations, dryness and even a corneal ulcer.
The adaptation of contact lenses is part of the service that every visual health professional must provide to their patients and at the Virgilio Galvis Ophthalmology Center we have experts to advise and adapt the contact lens indicated for each patient. The success of adaptation lies in personalizing the process. Each eye and each case is different, for this reason there is a variety of Contact Lenses on the market.
TYPES OF CONTACT LENSES:
Before prescribing contact lenses, it is necessary to carry out a complete eye study to rule out existing ocular disorders or diseases, as well as evaluate tear quality, state of the cornea, conjunctiva and eyelid closure, among others.
After the adaptation carried out by the Optometrist, it is important to teach the patient how to handle and care for the lenses and guide them in the proper use of solutions for cleaning and maintaining the contact lens in the case.
Patient satisfaction is our priority in our institution, which is why we follow all our processes step by step and with the highest quality.
