Can I use my prescription for glasses to order contact lenses?
No. Even though your prescription for contact lenses and for glasses may look similar, they usually have differences. You need to have an eye test separately for contact lenses and for glasses.
Which contact lenses are the most suitable for me?
Your trusted optician or ophthalmologist will recommend the lenses best suited to your needs. This professional will assess aspects such as the use you will make of the lenses, your prescription, or your tear film, among other factors, to choose the most suitable type.
How often should I buy my contact lenses?
How often you should buy your contact lenses will depend on the recommendations of your optician or ophthalmologist.
Do my contact lenses require any specific maintenance?
The type of maintenance for your lenses will be the one recommended by your optician or ophthalmologist. Disposable lenses are usually cared for with a multipurpose solution. However, in some cases, other cleaning products may be required, as well as a stronger disinfection system such as a peroxide solution.
What are BC and DIA?
These are values you will find on the fitting report or on the original packaging of your contact lenses.
-
BC, BK or RO is the base curve or radius of curvature of the contact lens. It depends on the curvature of your cornea and is usually between 6.50 and 10.50 mm.
-
DIA, on the other hand, refers to the diameter of the lens.
What is the spherical power?
This is the value of your prescription, whether for myopia or hyperopia. It is represented as SPH, PWR, P, DPT or F'V.
For toric lenses, which correct astigmatism, we also need to know the cylinder value (Cyl or Zyl) and the axis (Axis, AX, A or T).
For multifocal lenses, we also need to indicate the addition (Add or Ad).
Do you sell multipurpose solution for lenses?
Yes. On our website you will find a section for accessories where you can buy bottles of multipurpose solution and cleaning liquids, as well as eye drops and other products for your eye health.
