Contact Lens Application

What are Contact Lenses? Who Can Wear Contact Lenses?

Contact lens applicationContact lenses are a detailed evaluation and adaptation process for patients who prefer contact lenses due to their specific eye structure or vision problems or who do not want to wear glasses. For safe eye health, contact lenses must be individually planned and fitted by an ophthalmologist.

What is a Contact Lens?

Contact lenses are specially designed lenses placed directly on the cornea to correct vision problems or for cosmetic/medical purposes. They are typically used for conditions such as myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism, and keratoconus. Some people also prefer colored contact lenses for cosmetic reasons.

Who Can Use Contact Lenses?

Contact lenses may be suitable for the following situations:

  • Individuals who do not want to use glasses

  • Those who have difficulty wearing glasses while doing sports

  • Keratoconus patients who cannot see clearly enough with glasses

  • Those who prefer contact lenses for aesthetic or cosmetic reasons

  • Those with anisometropia (a significant difference in the number of eyes)

However, lenses may not be recommended for individuals with dry eyes, allergic conjunctivitis, some ocular surface diseases, and those who do not comply with hygiene conditions.
