Measuring Fit & Corneal Shape
Contact lenses interact directly with the surface of the eye, so their performance depends on how they align with individual eye structures. Peninsula Eyecare Izzards Optometrists provides contact lenses, including assessing eye shape, prescription requirements and tear film behaviour. These factors influence how a lens positions, moves and maintains stability during use. For orthokeratology, additional attention is given to corneal shape, as lens design and overnight wear rely on how the cornea responds over time.
This service can involve:
- Measuring eye curvature and corneal shape
- Observing how lenses position and move during wear
Some people attend our clinics to explore contact lenses as an alternative to glasses, while others may seek review of their current lenses. The fitting process involves selecting lenses based on recorded measurements and assessing how they perform on the eye. Orthokeratology uses specially designed lenses worn overnight, with follow-up used to observe changes in corneal shape across multiple appointments. To arrange an appointment, call

Monitoring Lens & Corneal Response
Contact lens use involves ongoing interaction between the lens and the eye surface, which can change over time. We assess how lenses behave during wear by reviewing factors such as alignment, movement and the condition of the tear film. In orthokeratology, we monitor how the cornea responds to repeated overnight lens use, comparing findings across appointments to track any changes in shape. These observations allow us to document patterns and make adjustments where required based on clinical findings.

FAQ
How is orthokeratology assessed during consultation?
Orthokeratology assessment involves measuring the shape of the cornea and reviewing prescription requirements. These measurements help determine how lenses may interact with the eye during overnight wear. Follow-up appointments are used to observe how the cornea responds over time. The process is guided by clinical findings and ongoing review.
How are contact lenses fitted to the eye?
Contact lens fitting involves measuring the eye and selecting lenses based on those measurements. The optometrist observes how the lens sits and moves during wear. Trial lenses may be used to assess positioning and interaction with the eye. Adjustments are made based on these observations.
What makes orthokeratology lenses different?
Orthokeratology lenses are worn overnight and are designed to interact with the corneal surface while the eyes are closed. Their shape differs from standard lenses and requires specific assessment. Changes are observed over time through follow-up appointments. This approach is monitored using clinical testing.
