Contact Lens Contact lenses are a great alternative to glasses. They are simple to wear and care for, and are almost undetectable. They are thin discs of plastic, curved on the inside to fit properly onto the surface of the eye, and shaped on the outside to correct and improve defective vision such as nearsighted (myopia), farsighted (hyperopia), astigmatic, for bandaging the eye after surgery such as keratoconus or post-surgical conditions, and cosmetic benefits such as to cover white scarring of the eye or to change the colour of the eye for fashion. As Contact lenses are medical devices they require expert fitting and careful instruction, as well as conscientious after care by an eye care professional. Before you are fitted for contact lenses, a comprehensive examination of the eye is required for a contact lens fitting. This exam evaluates the internal and external health of the eye and in some cases, evaluation of your corneal topography will be performed to determine the appropriate lens type, parameters and to be sure your eyes are healthy and to rule out any conditions that may prevent you from getting contact lenses. The doctors at Dhaka Eye Care Hospital have been at the forefront in contact lens technology. We perform comprehensive contact lens evaluations for both first time and current contact lens wearers. If a patient is new to contact lenses they will have the initial contact lens fitting, training and progress visits. For existing contact lens patients, periodic annual contact lens evaluations and dilated eye exams are required to renew existing contact lens prescriptions. Once the contact lenses are evaluated and the prescription is confirmed the contact lens prescription is dispensed. The prescription includes the contact lens power, contact lens base curve and diameter.
