Contact lens fitting

Comfortable vision without glasses, thanks to lenses perfectly tailored to your eyes. At Blikpol, the selection of lenses is carried out by ophthalmologists and optometrists, and a nurse will teach you how to insert, remove and care for them step by step. During your appointment, you will try on trial lenses to check their comfort and the quality of your vision.

Are lenses for me?



You don't want to wear glasses every day or you are not currently eligible for laser treatment



Do you have astigmatism, presbyopia or anisometropia? or irregular cornea (e.g. keratoconus)



You are active (sport, dance, working on the move) and you want a full field of vision



For children and adolescents with progressive myopia in certain cases we consider o orthokeratology (night lenses) after an assessment

Types of contact lenses

We select lenses after a full ocular surface and refraction assessment, with fitting of trial models at the appointment. Below is a quick guide to the available options — the final decision is made after your consultation at BLIKPOL.

Orthokeratology (Ortho-K night lenses)

Night lenses temporarily reshape the cornea, correcting the refractive error, so you can see during the day without lenses/glasses. We are also considering them as part of the control of myopia progression management in children — after an assessment. They work best for myopia up to approximately -4.0 D and for astigmatism up to 2 D.

„free” eyes during the day; effect reversible
no lenses for sports/work
in selected patients - a strategy to control progression of myopia

rigour of hygiene and regularity of wear
not every cornea is eligible
more frequent checks required at the start

Hybrid lenses

They combine RGP optics in the centre with a soft surround for better comfort. They work well when RGP-like sharpness is needed and classic hard ones are less well tolerated.

higher image quality than in soft
better comfort than the classic RGP
good for irregular corneas

more frequent exchanges than RGP
greater risk of infection and damage to the lens
require special care

RGP scleral lenses

Large-diameter hard lenses that do not touch the cornea but rest on the sclera. They are filled with fluid before insertion, making them more comfortable.

excellent sharpness with irregular corneas / large cyl.
high stability on the eye, permanent corneal lubrication
greater wearing comfort than with a hard corneal lens

A different method of insertion and removal than the regular RGP lens;
require learning proper lens care and handling
longer adaptation time
higher cost

RGP rigid lenses (gas permeable)

„Form-stable” - maintain shape and neutralise corneal irregularities, offering very high precision vision. Selection is based on topography/tomography and fluorescein staining.

excellent sharpness with irregular corneas / large cyl.
durability, less susceptibility to deposits
precise, repeatable correction

worse starting comfort; adaptation 1-2 weeks.
require thorough care
initially more pronounced „feel” on the eye

Multifocal lenses

For presbyopia: they enable you to see far and near without constantly changing glasses. Selection is based on your „daytime scenario” (computer, reading, night driving) and eye dominance tests; a brief neuroadaptation is required.

convenience for everyday tasks
customisable zones and eye dominance
a good alternative to progressive spectacles

with specific tasks, possible compromises
require precise adjustments at follow-up visits

Toric lenses

Toric lenses correct astigmatism through axis stabilisation. During selection, we assess centration, rotation and acuity after several minutes of wearing. For large/irregular astigmatisms, we consider RGP (rigid toric) versions.

Sharp, stable vision in astigmatism
available in silicone hydrogel and RGP materials
wide range of powers and axes

sometimes minor axis adjustments are required
in dry eyes key choice of material/moisturiser
with irregular corneas, RGP/hybrids may be better

Soft lenses

Soft contact lenses are the most versatile solution for correcting short-sightedness and long-sightedness. We select them based on refraction, corneal curvature and tear film quality, with trial fits of sample lenses. Silicone hydrogel materials usually offer higher oxygen permeability and better tolerance during a long working day.

Very good starting comfort, fast adaptation
wide range of modes: 1-day / 2-week / monthly
good for everyday and activity

require hygiene discipline and regular replacement
with irregular corneas, acuity may be reduced
swimming and sleeping only as prescribed by the doctor

Step-by-step lens fitting

filling-in-the-pre-surgery-documentation

Step I

Assessment and measurement

Medical history, ocular surface assessment (tear film, eyelid margins), refraction measurement, corneal topography and tomography (for astigmatism and corneal irregularities).

Step II

Selection and trial fitting

We fit trial lenses and assess centration, movement, visual acuity and comfort, observing how the eye responds after several minutes of wear.

Step III

Fitting technique and lens care

We teach safe insertion and removal, cleaning, storage and replacement schedule.

Step IV

Follow-up

We arrange a follow-up visit (usually after 1–2 weeks), then at least every 6 months thereafter, in line with current standards.

FAQ

We will answer all your questions

From what age can a child wear lenses?

There is no lower age limit — what matters is your child's maturity, motivation and willingness to cooperate with fitting and removal. If you are unsure whether your child is ready, book an appointment at our clinic and our team will help you assess the current options. Children of early school age often manage very well.

Do contact lenses damage your vision?

No. Properly fitted and worn as prescribed, they do not impair vision. Problems such as redness or reduced visual acuity are usually due to prolonged wear, sleeping in lenses, poor hygiene or infrequent check-ups. If something concerns you — remove your lenses and contact us.

How should I care for my lenses?

Always wash and dry your hands, use fresh lens care solution (don't add extra), clean your lenses using the rub & rinse method, do not use tap water, change lens case every 1-3 months. If you experience pain, photophobia or purulent discharge - remove lenses and see your doctor immediately.

How should I prepare for my lens fitting appointment?

Stop wearing soft lenses for at least 24 hours beforehand. For rigid (RGP) lenses, ideally stop 3–7 days before. Come with your glasses, without eye make-up and with a list of your current medications. If you have any symptoms of infection — such as pain or purulent discharge — postpone your appointment.

I have dry eyes - can I wear contact lenses?

Yes, but once the ocular surface has been stabilised and the material/wearing mode selected. Sometimes we recommend one-day or tear film regeneration intervals (dry eye disease can worsen lens discomfort - we set the plan individually).

How often should I come for a follow-up?

After your first fitting, usually after 1–2 weeks, then every 6 months or more frequently if you are prone to dry eye or inflammation.

Can I swim or sleep in my contact lenses?

We do not recommend swimming in contact lenses. If you absolutely must — use daily disposable lenses only and discard them immediately afterwards. Sleeping in lenses is only permitted if your doctor has specifically selected an extended wear mode and explicitly recommends it.
