What is a contact lens consultation?

A Contact Lens Assessment is more than just a quick eye test - it’s a complete consultation designed to make sure lenses are the right choice for your eyes and lifestyle.

During your appointment, your optometrist will:

Understanding your needs

We’ll start with a quick chat about your eyes, lifestyle, and vision goals to understand what you want from contact lenses.

Eye health & measurements

Your optometrist will check your eye health and take precise measurements to make sure contact lenses are safe and comfortable for you.

Finding the right lenses for you

Based on your needs, we’ll recommend the best lenses - whether daily, monthly, multifocal or for astigmatism - and show you how to use and care for them with confidence.

Trial & follow-up

Try your lenses at home to see how they feel.

We’ll review your comfort and vision before confirming your prescription, then you can order lenses or join our MyLeightons Contact Lens Plan for ongoing care.
