[quote=Anonymous]I'm an ophthalmic technician. It is amazing how much people don't understand about contact lenses (or just assume), and how people take for granted the health of their eyes. Contacts are completely different than glasses and take significantly more time and resources to fit. That is why there is an extra charge. It is not a scam. Wouldn't you want something sitting on your eye all day to fit properly? There can be serious problems if there is an incorrect fit. Everyone's eyes are different... Contacts have a specific base curve and diameter that is measured just for you. If you have astigmastism, there is even more that goes into making a toric contact fit properly. Additionally, your own eyes can change over time, so your own 'fit' may change. There are also different types of materials to make contacts lenses, different oxygen permeability, etc. I hope this helps clear up some confusion![/quote]
