Contact Lenses

Contact Lenses, whether corrective or cosmetic, are medical devices that can only be legally dispensed in Ontario by licensed medical professionals – like the team at the Nuvo Eye Centre. The reason for this legislation is the risk of harm involved with placing a foreign substance onto the eye’s surface, a risk that’s compounded when a visual prescription is also required.

It is! Since glasses sit in front of your eyes and contacts sit directly on the surface of your eye, the measurements for the prescription changes. There are also varying factors that need to be considered for contact lens wearers, such as wear time. For instance, you may want to wear glasses on a regular basis with a progressive lens, however, want to wear distance-only contact lenses when you play sports. These considerations all require different measurements from your optometrist.

The contact lens fitting experience at Nuvo Eye Centre begins with an ocular assessment, health check, & consultation with one of our licensed Optometrists or licensed Opticians trained in contact lens fittings. Your eyes will be given a clean bill of health prior to ever wearing any lenses, & your specific needs and wants will be incorporated into the fitting experience.

Our Doctors and licensed Opticians take into consideration a variety of factors including your specific visual needs, your lifestyle, your intended use for the lenses, the specific materials and their interaction with your eyes, as well as any of your allergies and sensitivities. At the end of this initial consultation, a trial contact lens will be selected that best suits you.

The next step is a comprehensive education session with one of our experienced staff. You will learn everything you need to know about inserting, removing, and caring for your new lenses.

Contact lenses are never a one-size-fits-all experience and a follow-up visit is a necessary component to assess the fit of your lenses and ensure a successful contact lens experience. At Nuvo, we schedule a 2-week follow up with your Optometrist or with the licensed Optician to evaluate the fit, function, and comfort of your contact lenses prior to your first order. Our knowledgeable team will take the time with you one-on-one to ensure you are comfortable and fully prepared to make the most of your new lenses before sending you out into the world to enjoy your new glasses-free vision.

Contact lenses vary in wear-time: daily, monthly and bi-weekly. Depending on your needs, we’ve got the contact lenses for you! Together with your Optometrist, you’ll find the perfect fit for you and your lifestyle needs.

We do! Nuvo carries Air Optix Colors contact lenses (monthly lenses). Whether you’re looking for colour contacts for a special occasion or for regular wear, Air Optix Colors are available for you (single vision prescription only).

Absolutely! Though there’s not a certain “cut-off” age, contact lenses are usually safe for children who are responsible and motivated to wear them.

A great option for part-time wearers is daily lenses. They give you the flexibility to wear contacts only when you need, without having to worry about a regular cleaning routine. Simply put the lenses in when you need them (with clean hands of course) and throw them out when you’re done! Dailies are also available to purchase in smaller quantities, so there’s no need to purchase large amounts that may expire before you need replenishment.

Yes, you can! Contact lenses are so versatile now that they come in almost all prescriptions, including astigmatism and multifocal!
