Check Stock on WhatsAppWhy Professional Contact Lens Fitting Matters
Contact lenses rest directly on the eye. Knowing only your spectacle power is not enough to choose a safe and comfortable lens. The correct contact lens depends on your prescription, corneal shape, tear quality, lens material, base curve, diameter and wearing schedule.
An unsuitable lens may cause blurred vision, dryness, redness, discomfort or poor lens movement. A professional fitting helps determine whether the lens provides clear vision, appropriate movement and acceptable comfort.
A Contact Lens Assessment May Include
- Updated eye prescription
- Eye health evaluation
- Corneal measurement
- Tear-film assessment
- Trial-lens evaluation
- Insertion and removal training
- Cleaning and replacement guidance
- Follow-up advice
Daily Disposable or Monthly Contact Lenses
Daily Disposable Contact Lenses
Daily disposable lenses are worn once and discarded. They are convenient for travellers, occasional users, sports and people who prefer a fresh lens every day. They do not require a storage case or daily cleaning routine.
Monthly Contact Lenses
Monthly lenses are designed for repeated wear during the recommended replacement period. They must be cleaned, disinfected and stored correctly after use. They should not be worn beyond the recommended replacement schedule.
The better option depends on wearing frequency, eye health, comfort, lifestyle and budget.
Contact Lens Types Available in Kathmandu
Toric Contact Lenses
Toric lenses are designed for suitable people with astigmatism. The complete prescription may include sphere, cylinder and axis values. Brand design and lens stability can affect visual performance.
Multifocal Contact Lenses
Multifocal lenses may help selected adults who require distance and near correction. Professional assessment is important because lens design, near addition and visual priorities vary.
Colour Contact Lenses
Colour contact lenses may be available with or without prescription power. Cosmetic lenses still require safe handling and appropriate fitting. Never share contact lenses with another person.
Silicone Hydrogel Contact Lenses
Silicone hydrogel materials generally provide higher oxygen transmission than traditional hydrogel materials. The most suitable lens still depends on fit, tear quality, surface characteristics and wearing time.
International Contact Lens Brands
Vision Concern supplies selected genuine international contact lens products according to prescription, fitting requirements and stock availability.
- ACUVUE contact lenses
- SEED Japanese contact lenses
- CooperVision contact lenses
- Bausch and Lomb contact lenses
- Alcon contact lenses
Two brands with the same printed power may have different materials, base curves, diameters and fitting characteristics. Do not change brands only by matching the power printed on the box.
Contact Lenses for Tourists and Expats
Vision Concern assists tourists, expatriates, diplomats, international students and business travellers who need replacement contact lenses in Kathmandu.
For faster assistance, send a clear photograph of your current lens box or blister pack showing the brand, product name, power, base curve and diameter. Also mention the number of boxes required, your location and departure date.
Availability varies by brand and prescription. Contacting the clinic before visiting can help confirm stock or identify a professionally suitable alternative.
Contact Lens Safety
- Wash and dry hands before handling lenses
- Do not rinse lenses or cases with tap water
- Do not share contact lenses
- Do not extend the replacement schedule
- Avoid swimming or showering while wearing lenses
- Do not sleep in lenses unless specifically approved
- Keep prescription glasses as a backup
- Stop wearing lenses if pain, redness or sudden blurred vision occurs
Remove the lenses and seek professional care if you develop persistent pain, marked redness, light sensitivity, discharge or sudden vision change.
