The fitting process for Nocturnal®️ Lenses
The fitting of Nocturnal®️ lenses follows a similar procedure to conventional contact lenses. A corneal topographer is used to map the exact contours of the eye using thousands of points of reference. This data is then used to produce individually tailored lenses to suit your precise needs. The topographer is also used to check the eye after the lens has been worn.
Fitting routines will vary, advised by your specialist fitter. The following routine is typical to getting started.
APPOINTMENT 1
– The optician checks for suitability then accurately measures the contours of the eye. Data is then used to precision engineer your individual lenses.
