As a contact lens wearer it is recommended that your eyes are checked every year. Even if you feel your vision is fine with your current contact lenses each year it is important to make sure wearing your contact lenses are not compromising your eye health. Contact lenses that are no longer suitable, or are worn inappropriately, can make subtle changes to the health of the front of your eyes. If these changes go undetected it can severely reduce your future ability to wear contact lenses comfortably. Many Optometrists will bulk bill the consultation to Medicare.
