Can I wear contact lenses? This is a question asked by many patients who wear glasses. In general almost any one can wear some type of contact lenses. However, what is important is not if you can wear contacts, but are you a good candidate for wearing contacts. Many factors affect a patient's ability to wear contact lenses safely. Some of the conditions that Dr. Harger will check are your eye health, your tears, your eye shape, your blink, your eyelid structure, and your refractive error. Other conditions include your general health, medicine you are taking, your motivation to wear contact lenses, your work environment, you're past history with contact lenses, and your ability to properly care for you contacts. When you go and see Dr. Harger for contact lenses, he will do two exams on you. The first exam is the eye health exam that is done for glasses. Following this exam, additional tests will be done for your contact lenses. If you are a proper candidate for wearing contact lenses, the Dr. Harger will proceed with the diagnostic exam followed by your follow-up visit(s). The number of follow-up visits a patient needs is variable and depends upon their eyes, the type of lenses you wear, past history of eye problems, wearing modality, and other conditions. The Food and Drug Administration classify contact lenses as medical devices. You must have a valid Doctor's prescription written specifically for contact lenses in order to buy them. Contact lens prescriptions are generally valid for one year from the date of your examination. However, for certain eye conditions or wearing modalities, the contact lens expiration may be less than one year.
