Before purchasing contact lenses, you should go to a professional eye hospital or optician for a thorough eye examination. Devices such as slit lamps can be used to check the eyes for contraindications and whether they are suitable for wearing contact lenses. The results of the obtained eye data are then taken to a professional optometrist for an optometry.

After fitting glasses, it is recommended to learn the correct and standard operation steps under the guidance of professionals and try them on. By trying it on, we can mainly check whether the diameter, base arc and degree of the lens match, so that we can more truly feel whether the contact lens is suitable and whether the vision is clear and stable. For example, to check whether the base arc is appropriate, use clean fingertips to gently push the lens and check how tight the contact lens is on the eyeball.
