Selection of Contact Lenses with the Issuance of a Prescription in the Chain Dim Optics

Vision diagnostics involves checking visual acuity, computer diagnostics and selecting the optimal correction. Visual acuity is tested subjectively, separately for each eye using a projector of signs of different sizes. As a rule, with myopia (myopia), distance vision is significantly reduced, with age-related farsightedness (pressbiopia), it can remain one hundred percent.

Computer diagnostics of vision is carried out using the POTEC automatic refractokeratometer, which objectively and quickly determines the type and degree of refractive error in the eye (nearsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism). This study does not determine the condition of the fundus and does not measure intraocular pressure. It is the best help for the correct and accurate selection of contact correction. In children, it is preferably performed with a preliminary pupil dilation.

When selecting contact lenses, in addition to diagnosing vision and determining the correction, the services of an ophthalmologist also include an examination on a slit lamp (biomicroscopy), where the state of the anterior segment of the eye is assessed under high magnification. This is necessary to determine the condition of the cornea and conjunctiva, to identify contraindications for wearing lenses, possible inflammatory or allergic complications, to assess the fit of the lens on the eye, as well as to identify dry eye syndrome, etc.

Fitting lenses ends with training, during which detailed instructions are given on how to put on and take off lenses, how to care for them and what to avoid. If necessary, repeated visits to the doctor for additional consultations, clarification of details, re-examination of vision or eye condition are possible.

Regular customers of Dim Optics salons can also get advice in case of problems with the anterior part of the eye.
