Contact lenses offer a flexible and convenient alternative to traditional eyeglasses, fitting various lifestyles and preferences. At Health Today, we emphasize the importance of proper contact lens fitting for comfort and optimal vision correction. Our contact lens exams include a regular vision assessment, a comprehensive eye health evaluation, and a detailed contact lens consultation and measurement. The Canadian Association of Optometrists highlights the necessity of these exams to ensure safety and hygiene in contact lens use. Regular eye exams are crucial for maintaining eye health and addressing conditions that could affect contact lens wear.
Health Today recommends personalized contacts based on your needs. Options include daily to monthly disposables, soft to rigid gas permeable lenses, and specialized lenses for conditions like astigmatism or dry eyes. Our optometrists suggest the best fit, including multifocal and colored lenses for those over 40 or with unique vision requirements.

Request Appointment!Customized Fitting for Optimal Comfort and Vision. A one-size-fits-all approach doesn't work for contact lenses. At Health Today, we take precise measurements to ensure a perfect fit, crucial for clear vision and eye health. Our fitting process includes:
Using a keratometer, we measure the curvature of your cornea, essential for fitting the lens curve to your eye. For astigmatism, we may use “toric” lenses or perform detailed corneal topography.
