A customer comes in for a check-up and mentions dry, irritated eyes. His monthly lenses no longer feel comfortable. You examine his eyes, check the lens fit, and discover that his tear film has changed. Instead of standard lenses, you recommend a different type with better oxygen permeability. A week later he returns: “I can hardly feel them anymore—what a difference!”
As a contact lens specialist, you are more than an advisor. You thoroughly examine the eyes, analyse lens fitting, and make adjustments where necessary. You have in-depth knowledge of soft lenses, rigid lenses, orthokeratology (night lenses), and hybrid lenses—and you know exactly which materials suit different eye types. You stay up to date with the latest developments, follow specialist training programs, and help optician colleagues deepen their lens expertise.
