QUESTION
Why my contact lenses annoy me after only 3 hours?
ANSWER
Many problems which come up while wearing contact lenses stem from poor preliminary tests. And this is also why a Patient may experience annoyance after just 3 hours of wearing contact lenses. In fact, the purpose of these preliminary tests is to find out the best technical solution.
It is true that a period of “physiological adaptation” is necessary, but it is also true that such period (at least for soft lenses) should be more or less a week. Once this period is over (unless there are evident improvements), it is good that the Optician checks the whole technical aspect of the adaptation.

QUESTION
I bought daily wear contact lenses but I cannot see vey well, can anyone give me some advice?
ANSWER
There are some “strange situations” and “questions” that leave us bewildered. How is it possible that a person wears contact lenses “on their own” (that is, without the necessery technical support) and has the so-called “dimmed vision”? This can be caused by three probelms:
1. Lenses are faulty (although it is statistically infrequent that this happens for both eyes at the same time);
2. The power of the lens is not the right one to compensate the Patient’s visual defect;
3. The internal geometry prevents the lens to perfectly adapt to the Patient’s eye.
So we heartly recommend any Patient who has such problems to address their Optician in order to face and sort out these problems.

QUESTION
We are frequently asked about the correct use and accommodation of contact lenses.
ANSWER
Here below are the legal and technical procedures to follow:
1. medical check-up, which is necessary to evaluate whether the patient is suitable to the use of contact lenses;
2. technical control (on behalf of the Optician), to decide which kind of lenses to choose;
3. technical assistance to the patient to teach him how to use and maintain his own contact lenses;
4. follows-up to make sure that the use of contact lenses is not causing damages or problems to the eyes.
This is the procedue highly recommended by all professional associations of both oculists and opticians. Sometimes, to shorten times, one or two steps are skipped and that is when problems come up which are “erroneously” attributed to contact lenses.
