Dr. Tim Conrad answered

Specializes in Ophthalmology

You will need: to see an eye care practitioner who fits contact lenses. Generally you will need a recent refraction (test for glasses prescription), eye health examination, measurement of your corneal curvature, a discussion of your options, and lessons on insertion, removal and care.
