Fitting night lenses
Before you can start wearing night lenses, one of our contact lens specialists/optometrists will assess whether your eyes are suitable for night lenses. Unfortunately, night lenses are not suitable for everyone. For example, night lenses only correct minus powers up to a power of -4.00. Therefore, always have a contact lens specialist/optometrist assess whether night lenses are also suitable for your eyes.
To fit night lenses, we take a picture of your eyes with the help of a topographer. This is important to accurately determine the shape of your eyes. Your strength is also measured. This information is used to create night lenses that are precisely tailored to your eyes and the correction you need.
A few days after fitting the night lenses, they are ready and you can pick them up at our store. If you have never worn lenses before, our contact lens specialist/optometrist will walk you through how to insert, remove and clean the lenses.

How night lenses work
You put on night lenses before you go to bed. While you sleep, the lenses correct your eyes. Night lenses do not actually touch your eye, but float on your tear film. Due to the special shape of the lens, the tear film causes the front of your cornea to become slightly flatter. You don't feel it at all. The next morning, take out your lenses about fifteen minutes after getting up and you will be able to see clearly for one to two days.
Are you looking for an alternative to laser treatment?
Many people find laser treatment scary. Moreover, such an intervention is not entirely without risk. Night lenses are a lot simpler and safer, which is why they are an excellent alternative to laser treatment. It is reassuring to know that all treatments take place entirely under the final responsibility of an optometrist.
