Those who prefer contact lenses to glasses must undergo a contact lens fitting in order to achieve optimal vision correction. For comfortable and effective contact lens wear, Direct Primary Care (DPC) offers a comprehensive approach to contact lens fitting, including comprehensive assessments, personalized care, and coordinated services.
Comprehensive Eye Examination:
During the contact lens fitting process, DPC assesses the patient's visual acuity, eye health, and suitability for contact lenses. To determine the most appropriate contact lens options for a patient, corneal curvature, pupil size, and tear film quality are measured.
Expert Consultation and Recommendation:
DPC provides expert consultation and recommendations for contact lens options based on the eye examination results, lifestyle preferences, and ocular health concerns of the patient. DPC ensures that patients receive personalized advice tailored to their individual circumstances, regardless of whether they need soft lenses, rigid gas permeable lenses, or specialty lenses.
Customized Fitting and Trial Lenses:
DPC offers customized contact lens fitting and trial lenses to ensure proper fit, comfort, and vision correction. To find the best fit and comfort for the patient's eyes, it may be necessary to select lenses with the appropriate base curve, diameter, and power, along with evaluating the fit and comfort of different lens designs and materials.
Training and Education:
In order to help patients feel comfortable and confident with their new lenses, DPC provides training and education on proper contact lens insertion, removal, and care. In order to ensure safe and successful contact lens wear, this includes instruction on hygienic practices, lens handling techniques, and potential risks or complications.
Personalized Care and Attention:
As part of the contact lens fitting process, DPC addresses the unique needs and preferences of each patient, as well as their ocular health concerns. DPC ensures that patients receive individualized guidance and support to achieve the best outcome with their contact lenses by fostering a supportive and collaborative relationship.
Accessibility and Convenience:
In addition to providing contact lens fitting services and follow-up care, DPC prioritizes accessibility and convenience. Patients can receive the care they need at their convenience through flexible scheduling, extended office hours, and virtual consultations offered by DPC, eliminating barriers to care.
Continuity of Care and Support:
A dedicated resource for questions, concerns, and follow-up care, DPC provides continuity of care and ongoing support to contact lens fitting patients. In order to ensure patients receive the support they need to enjoy comfortable and successful contact lens wear, DPC provides consistent, coordinated care that helps them navigate the adjustment period.
Pre-fitting Assessment and Counseling:
To determine the benefits and risks of contact lens wear, DPC conducts a pre-fitting assessment to assess the patient's vision needs, lifestyle preferences, and ocular health history. In order to ensure that patients are well informed and prepared for the fitting process, we discuss lens options, expectations, and hygiene practices.
Post-fitting Follow-Up and Monitoring:
Following contact lens fitting, DPC offers post-fitting follow-up and monitoring to assess lens comfort, visual acuity, and ocular health, and to address any concerns or issues that may arise. In order to ensure long-term success with contact lenses, it may be necessary to schedule follow-up appointments, adjust lens parameters, and provide ongoing support and guidance.
