What is a contact lens exam and fitting?

A contact lens fitting goes beyond a routine eye exam to ensure your lenses provide clear vision, comfort, and a healthy fit. Unlike glasses, contact lenses require specific measurements, including lens brand, material, size, and curvature. All our optometrists offer fittings for new and experienced contact lens wearers. Please let us know when booking so we can allow enough time and have appropriate lens options available. Already a patient? You can reorder your contact lenses online with a valid contact lens prescription.

Daily, biweekly and monthly soft contact lenses

Soft contact lenses offer comfortable, convenient vision correction for most wearers. Our optometrists fit a variety of lenses, including options for astigmatism and presbyopia, to suit your vision and lifestyle.

  • Daily lenses

    Enjoy a fresh pair every day with no cleaning or storage required. Ideal for occasional wearers and those seeking convenience.

  • Biweekly lenses

    Replaced every two weeks, with daily removal, cleaning, and overnight storage.

  • Monthly lenses

    Replaced monthly, with regular cleaning and overnight storage. A popular option for everyday wear.

  • Toric lenses for astigmatism

    Specially designed to correct astigmatism while maintaining stable, clear vision.

  • Multifocal lenses

    Provide both distance and near vision correction, reducing the need for reading glasses as your eyes age.

Rigid gas permeable and scleral lenses

Specialty contact lenses can provide clearer, more comfortable vision when traditional soft lenses aren't suitable.

Rigid gas permeable (RGP) lenses maintain their shape to provide sharper vision, particularly for patients with high astigmatism or irregular corneas, such as keratoconus.

Scleral lenses are larger lenses that rest on the white of the eye, creating a protective fluid-filled space over the cornea. They can be especially helpful for irregular corneas and certain cases of severe dry eye.

Our optometrists provide personalized fittings for both types. Ask us about specialty lenses if soft contact lenses haven't met your vision or comfort needs.

Myopia control lenses for children

Specialty contact lenses can help slow the progression of myopia (nearsightedness) in children, reducing the risk of future vision problems. Our optometrists offer personalized myopia management options and ongoing monitoring as your child grows. Learn more about our treatments and follow-up care on our Specialty eye care page.

What to expect at your first contact lens fitting

  1. Eye measurements.

    Your optometrist measures your corneas and assesses your tear film to determine suitable lenses.

  2. Trial lenses.

    You'll try different lenses while your optometrist checks their fit, movement, and comfort.

  3. Hands-on training.

    We'll teach you how to safely insert, remove, clean, and care for your lenses.

  4. Take-home trial.

    You'll test your lenses during everyday activities to see how they perform.

  5. Follow-up.

    If needed, your optometrist will reassess the fit and make adjustments before finalizing your prescription.

Questions about contact lenses

What is the difference between a contact lens fitting and an eye exam?

An eye exam assesses your vision and eye health, while a contact lens fitting includes additional measurements and trial lenses to ensure a comfortable, healthy fit. Each provides a separate prescription and is booked as a separate service. Please let us know when booking if you'd like both completed during the same visit.

Can I wear contact lenses if I have astigmatism?

Yes! Toric soft contact lenses correct most types of astigmatism and are available in daily, biweekly, and monthly options. For higher or irregular astigmatism, rigid gas permeable or scleral lenses may provide clearer vision. Our optometrists can help you find the best fit.

Do multifocal contact lenses really work?

Yes! Multifocal contact lenses help many people see clearly at both near and far distances, reducing their dependence on reading glasses. Some adjustment may be needed, and a trial fitting helps determine whether they're right for you before ordering a supply.

How do I reorder my contact lenses?

Current patients with a valid prescription on file can use our online reorder form or call (905) 433-2015. Simply select your lenses and quantity, then choose clinic pickup or delivery. We'll contact you to arrange payment.

How often do I need a contact lens check?

Most contact lens wearers should have a check annually, or as recommended by their optometrist. Please wear your current lenses to your appointment so we can assess their fit and your eye health. Regular checks also help keep your prescription up to date for reordering.

Can I get contact lenses if I've never worn them before?

Absolutely! We welcome first-time contact lens wearers. Your fitting includes personalized instruction on inserting, removing, and caring for your lenses. You'll take home trial lenses and return for a follow-up to ensure a comfortable, healthy fit before your prescription is finalized.
