What should i ask the people at the eye contact place and the eye specialist if i want to get contacts?
March 11th, 2010 | by admin |I freeze when i ask a question to people,like i sound stupid…and i wanted your help on what to ask to the eye doctor that i want my eyes checked to get contacts…what did you say to your doctor?
and i have 20/20 vision , i don’t need glasses, i just hate my natural eyes lol.
ive been wearing glasses for most of my optical needs. last year was the first time i got perscription contacts. my first trip to the doctor;s office after i considered contacts was pretty easy. all i did was tell her i was interested in having contacts. you need to tell her before she examines you because im pretty sure that its a different exam and you need to get measured for them differently. once the doctor has completed the exam you should leave with a temporary pair that the doc actually gives you. i found it really frustrating at first to put them on, but once you get the hang of touching your actual eye, its a breeze to wear. the doc will go over everything from how long you should wear them the first couple of times to washing, to inerting and removing them. you also get a perscription for eyeglasses as well. so dont think that once you go contacts you cant wear glasses either.

Well it sounds like you dont need contacts for a perscription but maybe you want colored contacts. Well when you visit your eye doctor, tell him you are intersted in trying colored contacts. He will then show you the ones available to you and the different colors. The place that i work, after you tell the doctor you are interested in colored contacts and he says your eyes are okay to get them, one of us will sit with the patient and let them try on different colors of contact lenses. One thing to think about though is, if you never worn contacts before you are going to have to learn how to put them on. So as a recap, call up your eye doctor tell them you want an eye exam and you want to try contacts lenses. Once you get there they will give you an eye examine and ur doctor will see what kind of contacts you need. If you already had an eye exam lately just go back to that place and tell them you want to try contacts. Then someone will sit with you and teach you how to put them on and then u can try on some colored ones to see if you like the way they look. Then you can order as many boxes as you like be be aware you will have to pay for a contact lenses fit and the price of how ever many boxes you choose to buy.. good luck!!!
