Comfortable contact lenses require more than a prescription. We assess eye health, tear film, and fit, then recommend options that match how you live and what your eyes can tolerate.
We also fit specialty lenses for complex prescriptions and challenging eyes.
Book a contact lens exam so we can verify fit, comfort, and eye health.
If you are new to contacts
Start with an eye exam. We will discuss whether contacts are a good match and what types are realistic for your eyes.
If your eyes are dry or irritated
We assess comfort and tear film first. Lens choice and dry eye care often need to be managed together.
Who we help
People who want comfortable, reliable daily contact lenses
Contact lens wearers with dryness, redness, or end-of-day discomfort
High prescriptions, astigmatism, or multifocal needs
Patients who have been told they cannot wear contacts
Complex eyes: keratoconus, corneal irregularity, post-surgical corneas, and other challenging fits
Lens types we fit
Soft lenses
Daily, bi-weekly, and monthly lenses, including toric (astigmatism) and multifocal options.
Specialty lenses
Scleral lenses, rigid gas permeable lenses, and other specialty options for complex prescriptions and corneas.
If you are exploring specialty lenses, see Scleral contact lenses for a deeper overview.
What happens during a fitting
Assessment first. We review your goals and comfort, then evaluate eye health, tear film, and suitability.
Lens selection and fit. We choose options that match your prescription and how your eyes behave in the real world.
Trial and teaching. If needed, we teach insertion and removal, and confirm you can use the lenses safely.
Follow-up. We verify comfort and vision and refine the fit as needed.
If we recommend imaging or additional diagnostics, it is because it improves patient care and clinical outcomes. Applicable fees are explained upfront.
Fees and insurance
Contact lens exams and fittings involve additional professional fees beyond a standard eye exam. Specialty lens assessments typically require more time and follow-up.
Some services are not covered by OHIP and may be eligible for reimbursement through third-party insurance. Coverage varies by insurer and policy.
Bring your glasses (even if you wear contacts most of the time).
If you wear contacts: bring the box/blister pack or the lens details, and your current solution.
If you have dryness or irritation: tell us what drops or treatments you have tried.
What to do next
If you already wear contact lenses, book a contact lens exam so we can confirm comfort, fit, and eye health. If you are new to contacts, start with a comprehensive eye exam and we will advise the best next step.
