| Q. Does an eye examination generally include a contact lens examination? |
|
A. No, the contact lens examination is separate from the eye examination. In the contact lens examination, the practitioner determines your suitability to lenses, the type of lens most appropriate to your needs and the parameters required for a comfortable fit. |
| Q. Is their a separate cost involved for the contact lens prescription? |
|
A. If you have purchased lenses from your optician, then you are entitled to a copy of your contact lens prescription. This should be given to you at no additional cost. If you decide that you only want the contact lens fitting, the optician may charge you for their time and expertise. |
| Q. I wear my opticians own brand of contact lenses. Can you supply them? |
| A., All own brand lenses are generally the mainstream lenses just repackaged to give your opticians some kind of exclusivity. Simply ask your optician to suggest an alternate mainstream brand that you can wear and we will be happy to supply these to you. |

A. There are a few lenses that enable you to do so, but on the whole it is always safer not to. Speak to your optician for further clarification. |
