Contact Lens Basics
A Beginner’s Guide to Contact Lenses
Many people trying contact lenses for the first time have numerous questions. How do I start? How can I read my prescription? How do I know if my contact lens is inside out? Are all contacts the same? This article covers these common questions and more. Explore further articles in the Contact Lenses section for a detailed understanding.
Getting Started with Contact Lenses
The first step in your contact lens journey is to visit an eye doctor, whether it's an optometrist or, in some places, a lens specialist. Even if you don't usually wear glasses and only want to change your eye color, it's crucial because contact lenses are medical devices that must be properly fitted by an eye care professional. In the U.S., you need a valid prescription to purchase contact lenses legally.
Your eye doctor will examine your eyes to ensure you can wear contacts. While most people can, a few might not be suitable. Once cleared, your doctor will determine your prescription.
Understanding Your Contact Lens Prescription
Contact lens prescriptions might seem complicated at first but are easy to understand. They include essential information like how often your lenses should be replaced?"this could be monthly, bi-monthly, weekly, or daily. Your eye care provider will guide you on the best replacement schedule based on your needs.
Applying Your Contact Lenses
A common question for beginners is how to tell if a contact lens is inside out. Place the lens on your fingertip like a cup and hold it up in front of your eyes. If it resembles a taco rather than a soup bowl, you're good to go. Some lenses even have a laser marking, like the brand name, to help you. If you can read it correctly, the lens is not inside out. Don't worry if you accidentally wear a lens inside out; it might feel uncomfortable but won't harm your eye.
By understanding these basics, you'll have a smoother experience as you start using contact lenses. For more in-depth information, continue exploring our resources in the Contact Lenses section.
