  • Who are contact lenses suitable for?

    In principle, contact lenses are suitable for everyone – even now for wearers with a very high diopter count and special vision corrections.


    In addition, there is already a wide selection of special lenses available, for example for color vision deficiencies (for better color recognition) or with integrated filtering.



    Of course, there are always exceptions, but even after eye surgery, wearing contact lenses is now possible – provided that the fitting is done by a specialist.


    However, the following always applies to long-term wearing comfort:

    Contact lenses should be individually fitted by a professional at regular intervals and checked regularly. Personal motivation is also crucial for long-term comfort – those who wear lenses only "out of obligation" will hardly be happy with them. It is especially important for children to want to wear them themselves.

    For certain eye diseases, a prior ophthalmological examination is essential.


  • Why is it important that contact lenses are fitted by a specialist?

    Because no two eyes are the same.


    Size, shape, and needs vary from person to person.

    Standardized contact lenses such as daily, weekly or monthly lenses are manufactured for the "average" person for many reasons, including economic ones.

    This is comparable to shoe sizes: if there were only size 38 for women or 43 for men, many would simply not be properly supplied – and it is the same with contact lenses.


    Poorly fitting contact lenses – even those made of the best material – can lead to red, dry eyes or discomfort. This is especially true for disposable lenses, where the fit can change throughout the day.


    A specialist individually adapts contact lenses to the specific characteristics of the eye – this increases the chance that contact lenses can be used comfortably and in the long term – even with special requirements.

    Incorrectly fitted lenses are one of the most common reasons why people give up wearing contact lenses.


    A key advantage of individual fitting is that if problems arise while wearing contact lenses, you can always contact the specialist to find a solution.


  • Advantages of contact lenses

    Contact lenses offer many practical and optical advantages in everyday life – especially compared to glasses:


    More freedom in everyday life

  • Wearing comfort – barely noticeable

  • No fogging during temperature changes

  • Freedom of movement - no slipping or falling off

  • Ideal for sports, exercise, outdoor activities, etc.

  • inconspicuous when worn


    • More natural vision

  • Contact lenses offer different image proportions than glasses

  • No magnification/minus effect, both for the eyes behind the glasses and for the image of an object that the wearer sees.

  • Unrestricted field of vision



  • How do I reorder the right contact lenses for me?

    If the contact lenses worn so far are well tolerated without any restrictions, you should always follow the recommendation of the fitting specialist when reordering.


    Every package contains important information such as product name, geometry and diopters – HERE we show you what each piece of data means and where you can find your values on the packaging.


    It makes no sense to unilaterally change the values "a little bit" – for example, according to the motto: "My eyesight is a little worse, so I'll just add a little more."

    Because impaired vision is often not due to the diopter, but to other factors such as baseline values, tear film, or other parameters.

    For reliable reordering, always refer to your previous values – if in doubt, your specialist will be happy to help.


  • How long can a contact lens stay in the eye?

    There is no universally valid measure that specifies an exact time.


    Depending on the material and type of lens, contact lenses can be worn for a longer or shorter time – you can find this information on the lens packaging, the package insert or from your specialist.


    Many recommend a contact lens-free day per week, but we believe this isn't always ideal. What if you have something planned for that lens-free day where you need your lenses or simply prefer to wear them?


    Therefore, it is advisable to wear the lenses selectively – not to insert them immediately after getting up and to remove them again in good time – similar to taking off shoes.

    The cornea needs time to recover and support its metabolism. This allows the eyes to "breathe" in between and provides additional relief.



  • How do I clean my contact lenses properly?

    Proper contact lens care - in 5 steps - HERE you'll find everything you need to know.


    Hygiene is the foundation of all contact lens care – always wash your hands thoroughly first – because anything on your fingers ends up directly on the lens and in your eye. Residues such as essential oils often cannot be completely removed – the lens is then usually unusable. Since the cornea becomes somewhat more sensitive when wearing lenses, germs can enter the eye through micro-injuries and cause inflammation – usually harmless, sometimes serious.

    Therefore: Never take care lightly!


    Equally important: Change the lens case regularly – ideally always with a new bottle of care solution.

    Do not boil! Heat makes the plastic porous and more susceptible to germs.


    Don't skimp on the cleaning solution: Fresh solution must be added to the container after each use.

    And always remember: Only use the cleaning product that is suitable for your lenses.
