Thinking about contact lenses? Learn about lens types, professional fitting and safe lens care at Sardar Eye Clinic & Optics, Haripur.
Contact lenses give you clear vision without glasses – perfect for sports, weddings, work and everyday life. But lenses sit directly on your eye, so a professional contact-lens fitting in Haripur is essential for comfort and safety.
Types of Contact Lenses
- Daily disposables – a fresh pair every day, very hygienic and easy
- Monthly lenses – economical, but need careful daily cleaning
- Toric lenses – for people with astigmatism
- Coloured lenses – with or without power, for a new look
Why a Proper Fitting Matters
Lenses bought without a fitting can be the wrong size or power, causing redness, discomfort and even infection. During a fitting our optometrist measures your eye, checks the tear film, chooses the right lens and teaches you how to put it in and take it out safely.
Safe Lens Care Rules
- Always wash and dry your hands before touching lenses.
- Never use tap water or saliva to clean or store lenses.
- Use fresh solution every time – never top up old solution.
- Never sleep in lenses unless they are approved for it.
- Replace lenses and the case on schedule.
- Remove lenses immediately if your eye becomes red or painful, and get it checked.
Coloured Lenses: A Word of Caution
Cheap coloured lenses from roadside stalls can seriously damage the eye. Even zero-power coloured lenses should be fitted and bought from a qualified eye care provider.
