Mungar provides professional contact lens fittings in Oakville for all lens types — daily disposables, toric lenses for astigmatism, multifocal contacts, and specialty options. Get expert guidance and trial lenses at your very first visit.

Why Professional Contact Lens Fitting Matters

Contact lenses are medical devices, and a proper fitting is essential for both comfort and eye health. An ill-fitting lens can cause corneal irritation, dryness, blurry vision, and in serious cases, corneal damage or infection. A professional fitting from Dr. Mungar ensures the lens sits correctly on your eye, matches your tear film, and is appropriate for your specific prescription and lifestyle.

Your fitting at our Oakville clinic begins with a comprehensive eye exam (required before any new fitting), followed by a contact lens evaluation, trial lenses to test at home, and a follow-up to confirm your fit and comfort.

Contact Lens Types We Fit

Daily Disposable Lenses

Daily disposables are the healthiest and most convenient lens option for most wearers. A fresh pair each morning, discarded at night — no solutions, no cases, no build-up. Also the best-tolerated option for patients with dry eye or seasonal allergies.

Toric Lenses for Astigmatism

Standard contact lenses can’t correct astigmatism, but toric lenses are specially designed to do exactly that. Dr. Mungar fits both soft toric and rigid gas-permeable toric lenses depending on your prescription and corneal shape.

Multifocal & Bifocal Lenses

If you’re over 40 and finding it harder to read fine print (presbyopia), multifocal contact lenses can correct both your distance and near vision simultaneously, reducing or eliminating the need for reading glasses.

Specialty & Scleral Lenses

Patients with keratoconus, severe dry eye, irregular corneas, or complex prescriptions may benefit from scleral lenses, hybrid lenses, or custom soft lenses. We offer specialty fittings and consult with corneal specialists when required.

What to Expect at Your Contact Lens Fitting

  1. Comprehensive eye exam — Confirm your prescription is current and your eyes are healthy for lens wear.
  2. Contact lens evaluation — Dr. Mungar measures your corneal curvature, pupil size, and tear film to select the best lens design.
  3. Trial lenses — You try on a pair in office and leave wearing them to test in daily life.
  4. Follow-up visit — Return after a week or two so Dr. Mungar can assess comfort, fit, and vision, and make any adjustments.
  5. Prescription & ordering — Once your fit is confirmed, we provide your contact lens prescription and can order your supply through the clinic.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is a contact lens exam different from a regular eye exam?

A regular eye exam establishes your glasses prescription and checks your eye health. A contact lens exam goes further — it measures your corneal curvature, evaluates your tear film, and determines the best lens type, brand, and parameters. A contact lens prescription is separate from a glasses prescription and includes lens diameter and base curve in addition to power.

Can I wear contacts if I have astigmatism?

Yes. Toric contact lenses are specifically designed for astigmatism and the technology has improved significantly. Most patients can now be fitted comfortably with soft toric lenses. For severe astigmatism or irregular corneas, rigid or scleral lenses may offer even sharper vision.

I have dry eye. Can I still wear contact lenses?

Many patients with mild to moderate dry eye can wear contacts successfully with the right lens type. Daily disposable lenses are generally the most comfortable option. Treating the underlying dry eye first — with LipiFlow or BlephEx — often makes lens wear significantly more comfortable.

How often do I need a contact lens exam?

Most patients with stable prescriptions need a contact lens exam annually. This allows Dr. Mungar to check your corneal health, confirm your prescription hasn’t changed, and ensure the lens type you’re wearing is still the best option for your eyes.
