Why do I need a contact lens prescription / check up? I have no problems with my lenses, they are clear and comfortable.
Although your contact lenses may feel comfortable and your vision may be sharp, you can have problems. Signs of oxygen deprivation or lens binding from a tight lens may have no symptoms at all. Yet if left unmanaged serious problems can develop. During a contact lens check up all aspects of the len fit and function will be assessed and any concerns addressed.
Remember a contact lens is a medical device and as such it’s use should be monitored regularly. In Ireland you must have your lenses checked on an annual basis.
