The Mass Eye and Ear Contact Lens Service provides knowledge and expertise in contact lens fittings, often successfully fitting patients who previously could not wear lenses. The service provides an extensive selection of contact lens options and has a wide knowledge of contact lens fitting methods, techniques, and newly available lens modalities.
A contact lens is a medical device. Because the lens makes contact with the eye, a precise fit is necessary. A thorough evaluation and fitting is needed to insure a healthy contact lens fit. Many styles of lenses are available.
Contact lenses may also be recommended by ophthalmologists as medically necessary in special instances when contact lenses achieve the best visual potential that eyeglasses cannot deliver. This may be due to an irregular corneal surface, such as in keratoconus, corneal trauma, and post-surgical irregularity.
