In order to choose the type of one-day contact lens, it is necessary to visit a specialist for contact lenses, i.e. an optometrist or ophthalmologist. The control examination for one-day lenses is the same as for other types of soft contact lenses.

• Specialist assesses the health of your eyes, determines visual acuity and other parameters, which are necessary for the application of contact lenses.
• Then he advises you on the type of one-day contact lenses, in accordance with the measured parameters.
