What are Contact Lens Professional Fees?
Contact Lens Professional Fees cover the extra time and testing the doctor and staff take to fit you with contact lenses. These fees also cover follow up visits and trial contact lenses, used to finalize your prescription. Your eye doctor will look at your corneas under a microscope to check for corneal conditions which can occur from dryness, allergies or over wearing your contact lenses. Other tests including a corneal topography are done to determine the prescription for your contacts. The results of this test provide a better fit of contact lenses as well as giving the doctor information about the health of the cornea. A corneal topography is a crucial part of your contact lens exam.
