Contact Lens Guide

Guide to Contact Lenses By Optician.pk

Contact lenses are a convenient and comfortable alternative to traditional glasses, offering clear vision without changing your appearance. Whether you’re exploring contact lenses for the first time or you’re a seasoned user, Optician.pk has put together this easy-to-follow guide to help you make informed choices and take care of your eyes the right way — all from the comfort of your home.

What is a Contact Lens Exam?

Many people confuse a standard eye exam with a contact lens exam — but they’re quite different.

  • A regular eye exam checks your overall eye health and vision problems like nearsightedness or farsightedness.

  • A contact lens exam, on the other hand, focuses on whether you’re a good candidate for lenses. It includes:

    • Measuring your corneal curvature

    • Evaluating your tear film

    • Recommending the best lens type (daily, weekly, or monthly)

Tip: Always get a proper lens fitting before placing your order online.

How to Read Your Contact Lens Prescription

Your contact lens prescription might look confusing at first — with terms like BC, DIA, or Power. But don’t worry! Our in-depth guide will help you understand:

  • What each abbreviation means

  • How to read the numbers correctly

  • How to reorder the right lenses online

You can upload your prescription on Optician.pk, and we’ll do the rest for you!

Glasses or Contact Lenses — Which One to Choose?

Not sure if you should go for contacts or stick with glasses? Here’s a quick comparison:

  • Glasses can be a fashion accessory and are easier to maintain.

  • Contact lenses offer better peripheral vision and are ideal for active lifestyles.

Still unsure? You can try both — buy affordable frames and lenses on Optician.pk and also get trial lens packs!

The Dangers of Misusing Contact Lenses

Contact lenses are medical devices, and misuse can lead to:

  • Eye infections

  • Dry eyes or corneal damage

  • Long-term vision issues

Never:

  • Sleep with lenses (unless they’re approved for overnight wear)

  • Use tap water or expired solution

  • Share your lenses with anyone else

Contact Lens Hygiene Tips

  • Wash and dry your hands before touching lenses

  • Always use fresh lens solution

  • Clean your lens case regularly

  1. Wash hands thoroughly

  2. Inspect your lenses for damage or dirt

  3. Place the lens on the tip of your finger

  4. Look up and gently place the lens on your eye

  5. Blink a few times and you’re good to go!
